Archie Eversole - Keep Winning ft. Ray Lavender
Artist: Archie Eversole
Featuring: Ray Lavender
Producer: Fuego
Album: Back Like I Never Left
Label: HGMG/Zingari Management
As the rapper made clear in previous features What Money Sounds Like, How You Like Me Now, and Oh No, Archie Eversole is is back and determined to reclaim his spot in Southern hip-hop’s upper echelon. Throughout both his first and his second rises to power, there have been those who have doubted his ability to build a buzz, much less become a nationally-known MC. Never the type to quit in the face of adversity, Archie’s plan is to ignore the haters and simply Keep Winning. Though KonLive/Geffen affiliate Ray Lavender brings a memorable hook and third verse, the real highlight is Fuego‘s futuristic, bass-blasting beat, which perfectly accents Eversole’s motivational rhymes. All four of the emcee’s Booth features to date will be included on his Back Like I Never Left mixtape, which drops later this March.
This song first appeared on the
Independent Chart
on March 9, 2009

Yes the hook is definitely fresh I cannot lie about that and the production is really hot! Nice lyrics and banging song about rising from the bottom to the top! Very hot!

Well off the bat the hook sounds good, always liked Ray L's work. At first note, the production sounds classy with some bass, then I realized Archie's verses follow the flow pattern of T.I. and Maino on "Live Your Life" and "All The Above". Basically, this is a 'I overcame it all' song. I like his lyrics, but lost points because it's no longer original. 3.5 cuz I like the change-up in production for Ray L's 3rd verse, and his verse

This isn't bad right here. It has a good message to it. The beat is rather boring. Archie sounds like a non add-lib version of Young Geezy and Geezy without the add-libs is just plain awful. This is OK but nothing memorable...

This is nothin special. His flow is aight, but sounds like a lot of other southern rappers and he doesnt say anything to separate himself from the pack. The hook is kinda catchy and uplifting tho. I dont think I would listen to this again, tho.

First verse had a monotonous flow and second one seemed like he had a lil Young Jeezy in him. He needs to harmonize better with the beat on a musical level, not just spit.
Ray L. stole the show with good production and amazing vocals. Bridge and chorus are one of the best I heard on a hip hop song for a while. Seemed so fresh compared to T-Pain and Akon’s slacking ones lately. |

The title of this song is so poetic for the future of Archie's career. In order to "Keep Winning" you must start to win - and hopefully that will happen for him this year. Artists talk about grind - this man is doing sooo much work right now, its unreal.
Nice job by Ray L (fam, when is that album going to drop?) and props to my friend, Fuego, on the beat.

I always enjoy reading people comments to my artist work... this song has motivated me over the last few days... If you like it great if not great too... this is my business so I know a hit... something like DJ's calling me from overseas to say they rocking the joint right now... Keep Winning been winning and go stay winning... Oh yeah for those that don't have any idea Archie came out in 2002 check the credits he established the sound you think others own... Came out at 16 and reached 16 on Billboard Charts.. Shout out to DJ Z and DJbooth.net (The exclusive is coming Z)

I agree with Sarah, this isn't very different from other songs I've heard but I'm fond of this type of songs. Catchy, smooth, puts me in a good mood! The production is fabolous in my opinion, I love it! His flow is good and I like Ray's voice. Banger!

This a good look for Archie. I think he's trying a little too hard to make these epic stadium anthems like his past hits. This was a bit different because it had that motivational energy but kept it a little more relaxed than previous. This is a song I would listen to if I was one of those NBA players warming up with the iPod on, LOL!
