"Raise It Up" is a single by Slum Village. It was the last single to be released from their album, Fantastic, Vol. 2.
Structure
The song uses a sample from the song "Extra Dry" by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk. It was initially used without permission, as producer J Dilla obtained a copy of the song from a bootleg recording, and assumed that the artist was an obscure producer who was unlikely to notice. Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo however happened to be fans of Slum Village, and rather than demand a payment for the sample, instead asked the group to remix one of their own tracks; this ended up becoming Slum Village's remix of the song "Aerodynamic".
The remix of "Fall-N-Love" used a sample of Alice Cooper's "Shoe Salesman".
"Raise It Up" is a 2007 song written by Jamal Joseph, Charles Mack and Tevin Thomas for the motion picture August Rush. "Raise It Up" is performed in the film by Jamia Simone Nash and Impact Repertory Theatre, an African-American youth theatre group based in Harlem. The song was produced by Joseph and Mack.
In the film, August Rush (Freddie Highmore) wanders into Harlem and is drawn to a church by the voice of a young soloist named Hope (Nash) singing this song, which inspires him. Hope ultimately brings him to the attention of her pastor, Reverend James (Mykelti Williamson), who helps August further develop his talent.
"Raise It Up" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 80th Academy Awards; however, the nomination announcement originally said "Nominees to be determined". The production notes credit the song to the Impact Repertory Theatre as a whole; however, Oscar rules allow no more than three individuals to be credited with the song for nomination purposes. (This was the same rule that prevented Beyoncé Knowles from sharing in the Oscar nomination for her 2006 song "Listen" from Dreamgirls, even though she co-wrote it.) The next day, the Academy updated its list to show Joseph, Mack and Thomas as the nominees.
Raise It Up is the second album by StillWell. The album was released on November 13, 2015 through Rat Pak Records.
Overview
Throughout 2014, the band later started demoing tracks and by the end of the year they began to refine their sound. The band signed with Rat Pak Records in 2015 and began working with producer Chris "Wizard" Collier. The band released a single for "Mess I Made" along with a music video on October 1, 2015. On November 5, 2015, the band released their music video under their eponymous album.
"Raise it up" from the movie August Rush.

The Song RAISE IT UP
From The Warner Brother Movie AUGUST RUSH
Written by Jamal Joseph, Charles Mack, and Tevin Thomas
Performed by The Academy Award (Oscar) Nominated IMPACT REPERTORY THEATRE
Featuring Jamia Simone Nash
Official Music Video by Luther D. Isler of IMPACT R.T.
"Raise It Up" is a single by Slum Village. It was the last single to be released from their album, Fantastic, Vol. 2.
Structure
The song uses a sample from the song "Extra Dry" by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk. It was initially used without permission, as producer J Dilla obtained a copy of the song from a bootleg recording, and assumed that the artist was an obscure producer who was unlikely to notice. Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo however happened to be fans of Slum Village, and rather than demand a payment for the sample, instead asked the group to remix one of their own tracks; this ended up becoming Slum Village's remix of the song "Aerodynamic".
The remix of "Fall-N-Love" used a sample of Alice Cooper's "Shoe Salesman".
No father figure in the house And i'm wondering how I'm gonna work it out My friends keep on telling me How i don't need that man But they don't really understand There's far Too many pressures in reality With dealing with the pain The stress and poverty And i gotta be myself because There's nobody else for me (Noo) (Hang in there with me) Sometimes it takes A different kind of love To raise a child (So don't give up) So don't give up (When pressures come down) Sometimes it takes A different kind of dream To make you smile (So raise it up) So raise (Hang in there with me) Sometimes we need Another helping hand To show the way (So don't give up) So don't give up (When pressures come down) Sometimes it seems impossible And that's why we pray (So raise it up) We pray Seems to be Nothing left for me Momma's gone Daddy didn't wanna be And now i'm all by myself Wondering where is love Or should i just give up (Ya kno) Life falls down on me Cuts into my soul But i know i got the strength To make it through it all Cause i'm still standing tall Breaking through these walls I'm gonna give my all Feeling like A motherless child Pain cuts into my soul It's bringing me down Can't find my smile On the face Of a motherless child I'm gonna break Down these walls Gonna give my all Ya know Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh (Hang in there with me) Sometimes it takes A different kind of love To raise a child (So don't give up) So don't give up (When pressures come down) Sometimes it takes A different kind of dream To make you smile (So raise it up) So raise it up (Hang in there with me) Sometimes we need Another helping hand To show you the way (So don't give up) (When pressures come down) Sometimes it seems impossible That's why we pray
