Alpha Blondy kicks off his new album Rise with the track and video for Djigui (L’Espoir) a roots tune that carries a simple but powerful message: “Children are the hope of the world.” The track, sung in multiple languages, stays close to Blondy’s foundation, mixing cultural pride, melodic hooks, and direct lyrics. Rise brings 11 new tracks from the veteran artist, reminding us he’s still pushing forward with purpose.
