Hip-hop artist Jay Kurdy, hailing from Manchester, has captured the essence of old-school 90s rap in his latest single “Rise Again”. Featuring collaborator Rob Wheeler, the track is a conscious piece that resonates with the struggles and triumphs of the urban youth.
Released on 21st July 2023, this single showcases Kurdy’s unique style and powerful message. Channeling the energy of rap icons like Tupac and Kano, Kurdy delivers a raw and authentic flow that reminds listeners of the power of true lyrical ability. The track’s powerful chorus, sung by Rob Wheeler, is a perfect combination of urban pop and soulful harmonies. It’s a collaboration that elevates the track to new heights and makes it stand out in the saturated world of hip-hop music. The accompanying music video for “Rise Again” was filmed at the SBG Rochdale gym, where Kurdy and former Marine and British MMA World Champion, Martin “50 Cal” Stapleton, trained together. The gym holds a special place in the heart of the artist, as it was here that he found support and strength during his journey as both a musician and a martial artist.
Growing up as the only black student in a school of over 700, Kurdy faced challenges and experiences that he channels into his music. He uses his platform to spread a message of resilience and rising above adversity, particularly to the troubled youth in his community. Working in troubled wards, Kurdy aims to inspire the next generation through his music and his journey to overcome his own struggles. “Rise Again” is now available on all platforms, and the music video can be found on Kurdy’s official YouTube channel.
With his unique blend of old-school hip-hop and introspective lyrics, Kurdy continues to make a mark in the music industry and inspire listeners with his powerful message of triumph and hope.
