North Carolina Bill Proposes Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up” to Become Official State Son

Petey Pablo’s North Carolina anthem “Raise Up” could soon become the state’s official song.

According to WRAL News, the song is featured in a bill pushed by Democratic Senators Natalie S. Murdock, Kandie Smith and DeAndrea Salvador to become the official state song.

The song was released in 2001 and is described as a single that “helped shape the rich and diverse sound of North Carolina’s Hip-Hop artists.”
