Reggae-dancehall artiste Terry Ganzie has released his new single, We Rise, which is produced by Temps Music LLC, to rave reviews online.

The track marks a powerful return for the veteran artiste, blending various genres, including reggae and dancehall, to deliver a message of hope, resilience, and perseverance that resonates with audiences worldwide.

" We Rise is more than just a song -- it is an anthem for black people in Africa and across the world, calling for unity, empowerment, and the strength to overcome struggles," Terry Ganzie said.

The artiste is known for songs that project a fiery Rastafarian message. However, his earlier songs, such as Welcome The Outlaw, Ragga Ragga and Whosoever Will, were dance-crashers in the 1990s. He insisted that his current songs are just as potent, despite the lack of consistent airplay. He also expressed hope that he will score with his latest Afrobeat single, which uses an uplifting rhythm, employs cross-cultural sounds, and showcases his signature lyrical depth. This song is insurmountable proof of Terry Ganzie's ability to use music as a global voice for liberation and social change.

Born Vandorne Johnson in Hanover, Terry Ganzie emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s as one of the most respected voices in reggae and dancehall. Influenced early on by greats such as Barry Brown and Super Cat, Terry Ganzie became known for his socially conscious lyrics and uncompromising 'reality' style. With acclaimed releases like Welcome the Outlaw, he established himself as a force in the golden era of dancehall, admired for addressing real-life struggles through music.

Now partnering with Temps Music LLC and Afro Music World Live, Terry Ganzie continues to inspire both long-time fans and new listeners.
