Rise Above Hate by Jazzy B, Millind Gaba

The Spoken Word album has several strong tracks, but Rise Above Hate is the one most listeners come back to first. What makes Rise Above Hate musically distinctive is the composition by Millind Gaba, which balances simplicity with depth.

Every line Jazzy B, Millind Gaba sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of Spoken Word, and Rise Above Hate captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

The 2014 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

The 3:27 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The track stands as evidence that Jazzy B, Millind Gaba and Millind Gaba, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
