A few days ago, HDP received an email from some African artist. One song in particular stood out, and thought it was befitting to showcase considering it’s Black History Month.

The song is called “Rise Up” by artist Episode ft Carlvy B. Although the song is a few years old, the message is still there. “RISE UP”. While we celebrate “Black History Month” here we must still acknowledge the struggles of the diaspora as a whole. Together we must all continue to RISE UP.

Rise Up is performed and Written by Episode a.k.a Tshepo Mashigo a rapper and   online media entrepreneur; www.mashonline.co.za and www.tshepomashigo.com and

Carlvy B a.k.a Farai Mupingo a ragga and soul vocalist from a two man world music band called Royal Blood and co-owner of K1 productions, a record label on the east rand in Johannesburg.The track was produced,mixed and arranged by Trezmoney a.k.a Trevor Moshoane of A.M.S(Africa’s Most Southern) records in 2007.Copyright Tshepo Mashigo/A.M.S records 2007.
