Budding rapper and dancer Lil’ Mike returns with a new song, “Rise.” “Rise” is a hard-hitting, inspirational Hip-Hop, Melodic Rap, and Trap record. The song balances its somber topic with its futuristic, spacey instrumental.

“Rise” is a motivational track that dives into a deep, solemn subject matter. The song is a commentary on society’s lack of action against those that harm vulnerable individuals. “What sets this single apart is its fearless tackling of child protection issues and predatory behavior—a subject rarely addressed in Hip-Hop,” Lil’ Mike states. The track shows solidarity for victims and serves as a call to action.

Lil’ Mike showcases his lyrical prowess and varied flow on “Rise.” The masterful record was producer by renowned producer Mova. “Rise” is a part of a broader message/project. “Rise” is track two on Lil’ Mike‘s HotD*mn EP. The songs utilize lighthearted beats to deliver serious, vulnerable, and thought-provoking bars. “Rise” up and take a stand against the d*mned.
