"Rok the Nation" is a single released by Swedish electronic music duo Rob'n'Raz featuring rapper Leila K in 1990. It reached number 41 in the UK.[1]

Critical reception[]

David Giles from Music Week wrote, "The team that sneaked a surprise hit with the recent Got To Get follow up with a track that is heavy enough to please clubbers but with enough hooks to succeed chartwise again. The drum machine break sounds suspiciously similar in Japan's Vision Of China though..."[2] Sian Pattenden from Smash Hits noted that "this is harder, dare I say funkier than "Got To Get"".[3]
