700 Million

From the Studio · YouTube

ABOUT UN SDG 1: NO POVERTY Hundreds of millions of people still live in extreme poverty, getting by on almost nothing each day. This goal aims to end poverty in all its forms — making sure everyone has access to basic needs, income, and a genuine chance to build a stable, dignified life. OUR INTERPRETATION — “700 Million” Our song turns a heartbreaking statistic into a chant of strength: the hundreds of millions living in poverty are not just numbers, they are people — resilient, and strong. Over a gentle one-drop groove it insists on dignity and hope, on strength in numbers and a way up and out.
