Grammy Award-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has unveiled his latest single, “Higher,” an anthem of resilience and hope dedicated to his hometown, Port Harcourt. Accompanied by a powerful music video that premiered today, the track underscores Burna Boy’s deep-rooted commitment to giving back to his community through his Project PROTECT and collaboration with the charity organization The R.E.A.C.H.
The music video for “Higher” directed by Burna Boy and Asurf documents an emotional journey back to Port Harcourt, capturing Burna Boy’s direct involvement in community support & outreach. The video is a vivid depiction of the spirit of community and collective upliftment.
Founded by Burna Boy, Project PROTECT is a humanitarian effort that aligns closely with The R.E.A.C.H. to provide essential services to underserved populations in Nigeria. Through these initiatives, Burna Boy has touched the lives of thousands of individuals across 21 communities, showcasing his commitment to fostering change and supporting sustainable development in the Nigerian society.
As Burna Boy continues to shine on the global stage, he remains deeply connected to his roots, leveraging his influence to advocate for and implement positive changes at home.
