This song is a tribute to a new Africa. The continent that I call home is a very different one to the one you may imagine. Her people are brave and resilient, we have grown to shed naivety and innocence, only to adopt ambition and hope for a brighter future.

This is a message the world should take note of and one, that as Africans, we must remind ourselves of. This song is intended only as the beginnings of a movement for us to take this narrative to the world. I implore you to read, learn, and share the treasure chest that is the on goings of our beloved continent.

This was truly a passion driven collaborated project between both corporate and creative spheres. Thank you to Simba Corp, our main sponsor for bringing us all together to create this song and video. Thank you to Atua-enkop Africa (http://www.atua-enkop.com/) and the Tribe Hotel (http://www.tribe-hotel.com/) for hosting all the artists and believing in the process and end goal and special thanks needs to go out to the artists the crew.

This project would not be what it is if two of the most passionate and inspiring musicians' did not come onboard. Thank you Peter Hollens (www.youtube.com/peterhollens) and Zolani Mahola (www.youtube.com/freshlygroundsa)for making magic.

Kudos goes to Justin Purefoy & Ash Jenkins for directing and producing the video and Ash Jenkins for this unreal edit. I would also like to thank Wanyoike Kimani @SQRDOWNSTUDIOS and Ulopa Ngoma for their production of the song.
