Hailing from Montgomery, Alabama, 22-year-old rapper, singer, poet, and activist Chika is truly one of one. Emerging today as the reincarnation of so many powerful hip-hop voices before her combined with an ear for sounds beyond genre classification and an integrity-driven voice speaking to youth culture and world issues, Chika has become one of the music industry’s most powerful young voices in just less than a year.
Today, she shares the exciting news of signing to Warner Records, one of the most iconic record labels in music. Alongside that exciting partnership, Chika released her new track and official video “High Rises,” off her anticipated debut EP coming this summer. Both the song and the video showcase Chika’s powerful and personal story of overcoming life’s obstacles and exceeding expectations into manifested greatness – a message that resonates strongly with anyone who listens or watches.
The official video was directed by Cierra “Sh00ter” Glaude and shot in a community center in Alabama, where both Chika and Cierra are from.
