Forrest McFeeters Joins Joel Kibble of Take 6 for New Single “Vote and Rise Up”

Forrest McFeeters, the creative force behind Dat Muzic Dynamic, brings music and civic engagement together with the release of “Vote and Rise Up,” featuring lead vocals by Joel Kibble of the acclaimed vocal group Take 6. Rooted in R&B and Neo Soul, the single carries a message centered on voter participation, community awareness, and the importance of exercising one's civic voice. Representing Wilmington, North Carolina, McFeeters draws from a musical foundation shaped by the sounds of Earth, Wind & Fire, Eric Benét, and Erykah Badu. 

“Vote and Rise Up” was developed with a clearly defined objective: encouraging voter turnout. Rather than approaching the subject through political commentary alone, McFeeters uses music as a platform to bring attention to civic participation and voter education. The addition of Joel Kibble on lead vocals introduces another dimension to the record, connecting the song's message with the vocal artistry of a performer known for his work with Take 6. An important component of the release extends beyond the recording itself. A QR code embedded in the album artwork directs listeners to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated's “Voteless People Is A Hopeless People” voter engagement campaign. Through this resource, individuals can check their voter registration, locate polling information, review candidate details, and learn about issues appearing on their ballots. The initiative reflects the fraternity's broader efforts to support Get Out The Vote activities at both local and national levels.
