Rise of the Phoenix solemnly ushers Sir Kingsley into the affairs of African music with a sharp parallelism between struggles and footing drawn from the mythical creature, phoenix. The aforementioned debut extended playlist is a quadruplet of bossy rap blends accompanied by soft Afrobeats caparisons spun across some 900 seconds in time.

Sir Kingsley's Rise of the Phoenix elicits feelings of falls, the troubles of losing a loved one alongside the silver linings that always seem definite in every cloudy sky. Though patient each time he serves his rap on some befitting instrumentals, Sir Kingsley embodies a big man who has time in his care: hence, the tranquility obvious in his music.

The singer doubling as a rapper is a strength. Maybe not his most sensational identity. What stands out in his artistry is the vividness of the imagery in his lyricism. Clear Road, the opener, invites some opposition group to an outing of disdain, outlining these people's existence with the most derogatory of all sunny mental pictures. Even if this provocation seems to have been borne out of anger, Kingsley acts the boss by serving his message cold. Story exudes pity from the unexpected loss of "grandma", Addicted tries to make up for the loss with a new lady numbing the pains. When the life described in the first two tracks must have brought him extinction, Victory brought him back alive just like "the phoenix". Here, the death and rise of the Christian prophet rings a bell.

Kingsley admits to News Bulletin that the creation of this project stirred a mixed feeling in him as he was nervous about the outcome. Asked what category of artiste he is, Kingsley stressed that, "I havent really given it a thought. It has never really crossed my mind. Boxing me isn't one thing I really want as I just want to make music to whatever sound I connect with. Maybe with time, I will figure that out."

Nevertheless, Kingsley informed us that he is one of the many Nigerians living in the neighbouring Ghana and further revealed the situation that occasioned his migration to the country, "I never really planned to move to Ghana actually," he started. "It just happened. However, I have never regretted that decision," he landed.
