Chip, Idris Elba & Spice unite on new anthem ‘Rise Up’

Chip returns with another statement release, joining forces with dancehall heavyweight Spice, Idris Elba and production duo Keys N Krates for the infectious new single ‘Rise Up’.

Released through Idris Elba's independent label 7Wallace, the track forms part of the Here To Stay series, a campaign celebrating the pioneers and lasting influence of UK rap culture. It's a fitting platform for Chip, whose impact on British music continues to span generations.

Built around Keys N Krates' spacious, skeletal production, ‘Rise Up’ allows each artist room to shine. Chip sets the tone with the sharp lyricism and commanding presence that have defined his career, before Spice injects her trademark energy and charisma. Idris Elba completes the collaboration with a confident contribution that reflects his ever-expanding creative portfolio.

The accompanying music video captures the celebratory spirit of the record, placing all three artists at the centre of a vibrant party atmosphere. Eagle-eyed viewers will also spot cameos from familiar faces including JME, while Chip showcases Arsenal's newly released 2026/27 away kit, adding another timely cultural moment to the visual.

More than two decades into his career, Chip continues to prove why he remains one of the UK's most respected lyricists. ‘Rise Up’ is another reminder of his ability to evolve, collaborate and stay firmly at the forefront of British rap while continuing to honour the culture that helped shape him.
