The chart-topping hip-hop anthem continues its rise as the independent artist expands his message of resilience through radio and motivational music.
GARY, IND. — Following the worldwide success of his inspirational single "Still I Rise" featuring Danny Boy, independent hip-hop artist ML Underwood is continuing to build momentum with an ambitious radio campaign, introducing the powerful anthem to even more listeners across the United States and abroad.
After reaching No. 1 on the worldwide iTunes charts, "Still I Rise" has evolved from a viral success into a growing movement centered on perseverance, purpose, and hope. The emotionally driven single continues to gain traction on Black college radio stations, UK radio, streaming platforms, and curated playlists as Underwood pushes the record toward mainstream radio audiences.
"The main goal is for this release to go viral," Underwood says. "Right now, Black college radio is playing the song, it's getting support in the UK, and we're preparing to take it to mainstream radio over the next few weeks."
Featuring the soulful vocals of Danny Boy, the record blends heartfelt storytelling with uplifting production, creating a message that resonates far beyond traditional hip-hop audiences. Rather than focusing on fleeting trends, Underwood has dedicated his career to creating what he calls motivational music—songs rooted in authentic experiences that encourage listeners to overcome adversity.
"I love what I do," he explains. "I feel like I'm on a mission. My music has messages in it, and I feel like I'm putting a different vibration into the world—one that's needed."
