Havertown rapper Skip-Dawg has just unveiled the official anthem (and music video) for U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist and World Record holder, Brendan Hansen, as excitement builds for the fast approaching 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
The music video is on YouTube and the song “We Will Rise” is available on iTunes.
Skip-Dawg penned “We Will Rise” as a tribute to his former teammate and longtime friend, Brendan Hansen, and has dedicated the song “to Brendan and to all the fans who love, support, and cheer him on in his quest for gold in the 100M Breastroke and 4x100 Medley Relay this August in Beijing.”
Most recently, an intense rivalry has ignited between Brendan Hansen and fellow World Record holder Kosuke Kitajima, who hails from Japan. The two will face off in the highly anticipated 100M Breaststroke next month in Beijing.
A Nike sponsored swimmer, Brendan Hansen is the current world record holder in the 100 Meter Breastroke and 4x100 Medley Relay. He captured gold, silver, and bronze medals in the 2004 Athens Olympics.
