North Carolina has produced its fair share of influential artists, but few have represented the state as loudly and proudly as Petey Pablo. From club anthems to cultural impact, Petey Pablo didn’t just make music—he created a movement that continues to resonate across Raleigh and the entire Triangle.

Who Is Petey Pablo?

Born Moses Barrett III, Petey Pablo rose to national fame in the early 2000s with a sound that blended Southern hip-hop energy with unmistakable Carolina pride. His breakout hit “Raise Up” quickly became more than a song—it became an anthem for North Carolina.

With its iconic line “North Carolina! Come on and raise up!”, the track turned into a rallying cry heard at sporting events, parties, and community gatherings across Raleigh and beyond.

A Cultural Icon for Raleigh & The Triangle

Petey Pablo’s influence goes far beyond music charts. He helped bring national attention to North Carolina’s hip-hop scene at a time when the South was still fighting for recognition in the industry.

Raise Up
Freek-A-Leek
I Told Y’all

Editorial note: I will not be using the Hurricanes' hashtag in Xs tonight. #Canes was fine. #Hurricanes, sure. #RaiseUp was meh. CarolinaCulture is a bridge (and several letters) too far.

#CBJ and #Canes, getting underway on ESPN+ in about 15 minutes. No FanDuelSports tonight.

An interesting choice. I guess we're going to try to send Primeau down to the AHL, and keep this guy as our third goalie at the NHL level? As a waiver claim, he has to stay at the NHL level or Florida could grab him right back if we waived him to send him down. 🤷 #RaiseUp
