LOS ANGELES - Oct. 27, 2023 - PRLog -- Award-winning composer Alexander Hitchens just released his latest album, "Rise and Grind 3," through Universal Production Music. This highly anticipated album is a follow-up to the successful "Rise and Grind" and "Rise and Grind 2," and delivers a musical experience like no other.

"Rise and Grind" and "Rise and Grind 2" established Hitchens as a leading composer, blending dramatic and thrilling orchestral hip-hop cues that are the perfect accompaniment for sports, gaming, and reality television. These albums were met with great acclaim, captivating audiences with their powerful compositions. "Rise and Grind" was initially released on September 6, 2018, and its sequel, "Rise and Grind 2," followed on March 3, 2021. The previous Rise & Grind installments have been included in ESPN's First Take, FOX's NFL Sunday, NBA Entertainment productions, NBC's Sunday Night Football, ESPN & Fox's College Football broadcasts, and more.

Alexander says, "Sports are often where timeless traditions meet contemporary expression. For my Rise & Grind album series, it's always been important that the music is a reflection of those characteristics. We seamlessly blend the classic instrumentation of horns and strings with modern hip-hop and trap drum programming. Sports can also be a metaphor for life, so this collection of songs is not limited to the athletic sphere, but agile enough to provide the soundtrack to various television, commercial, and social media spots."
