Don G delivers reggae tribute to Jamaica’s resilience with ‘We Will Rise’

Days before Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28 2025, Don G followed its ominous projection from his home in Luxembourg. He was even more transfixed to developments in the aftermath of the category five system’s destructive hit on the country’s south-west region.

The singer wrote and recorded We Will Rise, a song saluting Jamaican resilience as it approaches one year since Melissa struck. Recently released, the song is produced by Grippy Nation Records.

“Jamrock/Jamaica is still my home, my birthplace, even though I’m living a million miles away in Europe. I felt as if I was there when I saw the news and live reports on the internet,” Don G told Observer Online. “It had me worried about my family and friends during the devastation, as there was a blackout with electricity and internet so there was no communication.”
