Rise Up by Kaya Street 'Official Music Video'

Описание: Bristol-based rebel producer Kaya Street is taking his atmospheric blend of dub reggae/world fusion to create his debut EP Dark|Light 2020.

A dark, bass driven ride through the apocalyptic events of 2020, Dark|Light 2020 is a sharp account of current global affairs and a passionate rebuke to rising global nationalism and regressive forces.

Made remotely during lockdown, Dark|Light 2020 features musicians and singers from across the world: Nigeria, Argentina, America, Germany, Canada, Cuba, Jamaica, Spain, France, Poland and the UK. The songs deal with themes of political protests, climate change, surveillance capitalism, state terrorism, culture wars, toxic vanity, media manipulation, progressive internationalism and pandemic exposed worldwide inequalities. After a chance online meeting the album was Mixed and Mastered by legendary Canadian reggae producer, DUBMATIX, and features prolific French Horn section Booom Hornz, featuring Tribuman, and vocals from rising Nigerian star Churemi .

“Rise Up”, the final single of Dark|Light 2020, provides another rallying call to those who feel lost and disheartened by the global emergencies of our time by declaring they must “rise up, when the world is falling over”. Delivered to a “thumbing bass music” background the song takes on a futuristic dark reggae ride through a dystopian landscape discussing surveillance capitalism “culture vulture vipers”, social media polarisation “weaponise the hater”, patriachal slave labour “congo wives dig slavery minds”, competing nationalism and ego fuelled leaders war mongering ‘hypo-psycho big boys, playing with their death toys”.

Rise Up Lyrics

Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say

Check out the future
Before they shoot ya
Private Corps Policing
Profits are Increasing
Their Globalising
Their Advertising
Money Making Snipers
Culture Vulture Vypers

Panama papers where’d they go?
Fast lies lasts, the truth is slow

They follow it, they hollow it, they swallow it, they wallow in it
They call for it, they all for it, they ball for it, they fall for it.

Congo wives dig slavery mines
Tomahawks stalk in the Tehran times.

They weep for it, they sleep for it, they deep for it, they creep for it,
They high for it, they sigh for it, they cry for it, they…

Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say

Check out the future
Before it shoots ya
AI all your data
Weaponise the hater
The bombs are ready
They lock and steady
Hypo psycho big boys
Playing with their death toys

XKeyscore ay? where did they go?
State surveillance of your soul

They kill for it it, they’re ill for it, they steal for it, they pilfer it
They bad for it, they sad for it, they had for it, they mad for it, they…

Gulag Rags Clad Billboard Signs
Champagne City Milks Moscow Minds

We crave for it, we rave for it, we save for it, they slave for it,
They Follow it, they hollow it, they swallow it…

Profit making power,
Just to keep us down
Power making egos,
Just to keep us down
Egos making war,
Just to keep us down

Down and around but we get get back on the ground you got to…

Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say.

Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Rise up, when the world is falling over
Come that day all the people will say

Rise Up, Rise up, Rise Up, Rise Up
RISE!
