Coming from a disadvantaged place in society and a world where various forms of oppression are a daily occurrence, alone we eventually lose the strength to continue fighting against our oppressors. 'RISE' is an anthem to fuel and give strength to anyone losing hope in the fight for positive change in society and the world at large. We can only do so much alone, but together we garner the strength, encouragement, and motivation to RISE above our oppressors and beyond.

Winning song by Angélique Kidjo
Judging Statement
"Hi Beyond Music, you have truly surprised me with your amazing submissions. I have chosen the song 'Stay Together.' It stands out as a pop song with a catchy and relatable chorus that resonates with a broad audience. The incorporation of background vocals and chants adds a touch of the communal essence found in Nigerian music, which I find particularly impressive. The lyrics send a powerful message of unity and collective responsibility, urging everyone to move past blame and tackle challenges together. This song is a true testament to the artists' ability to blend meaningful content with widespread appeal." – Pheelz
We are delighted for the winners and extend our warmest congratulations! The winners will be invited by Pheelz to a location of his choice to create the song together. During this time, they will also shoot a music video.
