NFL Legend Turn Label Boss Osi Umenyiora's New Label, The Uprise Collaborate With Andi McErnest On New Single 'Babe Ur Cool'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nigerian, British artist Ahamdi McErnest, also known as A.M, or Andi McErnest is a multi-talented Afro-beat, Afro-pop artist. He has now teamed up with new London Urban label, The Uprise (run by double Super Bowl winner and BBC presenter, Osi Umenyiora.) on the style bending new tune, "Babe Ur Cool."

The Uprise is aiming to bring more world influences to Hip Hop, Afro Beat and Grime. In Osi's words - 'We have taken funk, hip-hop, grime, and Afro beat, all which is music from the heart of Brazil, America, The UK and Africa. We have combined these to make one sound which is The Uprise sound. We will now be giving opportunities to various artists around the world to feature on this sound. Give them a chance to get their voices heard.'

The Uprise x Andi McErnest 's first release, 'Babe Ur Cool' is a prime example of The Urpise's style.

Andi is not just any hip-hop artist, but so much more than that, drawing from a wide range of urban influences, as well as pop culture. You'll hear that in "Babe Ur Cool," a track that both showcases Andy's syrupy, laconic style as well as the volcanic Uprise house-style, fusing hip-hop with Brazilian funk and Kuduro and elements of the English grime scene. The result of this wide range of diversity is a well-written electro-funk-rap which recalls memories of artists such as MoStack, Geko and the Afrobeat God, Fela Kuti.

The Uprise have many more releases over the coming months.
