Forrest Frank & Connor Price, UP! | Dazzling Duets

In the 12^th edition of Dazzling Duets (2026), Christian musician Forrest Frank and Canadian rapper Connor Price collaborate on “UP!”

Sometimes, two is better than one! That is the case when it comes to Dazzling Duets! On Dazzling Duets, we highlight striking songs performed by two artists collaborating. These duets can be from any musical style, making Dazzling Duets a flexible, versatile column. In the 12^th edition of Dazzling Duets (2026), Forrest Frank and Connor Price collaborate on “UP!”. Let the dazzle begin!

Forrest Frank sings in the chorus of “UP!” The Christian rapper and singer continues, “I used to be stuck in that mud, yeah / Yeah, I was down, but now I’m up, up, up, up.” Woo-hoo! Nothing like an upward trajectory! Frank collaborates with Canadian rapper Connor Price on this brief but high-flying, faith-based gem. “UP!” is the third track from Frank’s gold-certified album, CHILD OF GOD.  Frank and Price wrote “UP!” while Frank produced it.

“UP!” features a Latin groove mixed with trap 👀.  This is NOT the traditional Christian or gospel music of old, and there’s nothing wrong with that. There are playful hip-hop vocals by both Forrest Frank and Connor Price that speak to the goodness of God. Frank sets the tone on the super-catchy chorus.  I love his tone. Beyond the chorus, he draws first blood in an intriguing verse.  Part of the intrigue, beyond the tone, is his compelling cadence and flow. “Up like my name Lazarus / Know Satan gon’ be mad at this,” he spits, and continues, “I had to ask my dad, / If it’s okay to swing my bat at this / He said, ‘Boy, if I pitch it, it’s out of the park’ / Moving so quick, it’s like they stuck in park.” Hmm, though-provoking. Connor Price brings the heat during the second verse. Like Forrest, he delivers a compelling cadence and flow.  His tone, also striking, contrasts with his colleague’s. “Down, now I’m up like a seesaw / When I’m on the beat, like an old man’s lawn, better keep off,” he raps, and continues, “From the ground to the treetops (Woo) / Got clouds on my feet like Jack and the Beanstalk.” “UP!” is not heavy on scripture; spiritual matters are implied, with Price specifically stating, “Mind your business, not who I worship.” All told, this is a fun, well-rounded Christian rap collaboration by Forrest Frank and Connor Price.
