Ghanaian reggae singer Shasha Marley has made a triumphant return with his latest studio album, Africa Rise, released on July 12, 2025.
Known for timeless tracks like Twin City Mafia and I’m Not Ashamed of the Gospel, the celebrated artist delivers a fresh body of work steeped in social consciousness, spiritual depth, and Pan-African pride.
The 16-track collection is a call to unity and empowerment, seeking to inspire Africans and people of African heritage across the globe — regardless of race, creed, politics, or religion.
The title track, Africa Rise, opens the album with a rousing Pan-African message, while This Generation speaks directly to the aspirations and responsibilities of today’s youth. Songs like Black People Everywhere Are The Same reflect on shared identity and experiences, while Nyame Ye Ohen (“God Is King”) honours Shasha’s Ghanaian roots through uplifting spiritual affirmations.
There are also heartfelt tributes, such as For My DJ in Kenya, which celebrates the vital role of African DJs in spreading music and culture. Historical and cultural themes shine in Repatriation (The Lost & The Found), a meditative track that urges reflection on heritage and the journey back to African identity.
With a seamless blend of roots reggae rhythms, conscious lyricism, and Shasha Marley’s unmistakable vocal warmth, Africa Rise reinforces his place among Africa’s most influential reggae voices. The project continues his legacy of using music as a tool for education, motivation, and social change.
Africa Rise is now available on all major streaming platforms, inviting listeners to join the movement of unity, pride, and positive transformation.
