Like most good things in life, musical success requires a superhuman level of dedication, but the moments of triumph, when one can sit back and reflect on the achievement of a goal that once seemed so distant, more than make up for the relentless grind. Big Tone‘s first feature sees the Detroit native teaming up with a recent Booth favorite to celebrate the view from the top. Featuring lengthy, densely-packed verses by both Tone and underground emcee Blu, A Song Called Triumph has plenty to offer fans of smart, lyrically-focused rap. The emcee lives up to his name on his self-produced beat; though catchy and well-arranged, his instrumental’s Tone is perhaps a little too Big, at least for this record—Blu’s subtle flow in particular might have benefited from some more space. Regardless, this first feature should turn some heads in the Booth, and raise anticipation for the Motor City emcee’s forthcoming LP, The Art of Ink

Big props for the nicely sampled production and the lyrics, both by Big Tone. The vibe on this song was cool, and Blu was nice on the end. I agree wit richard, the production is a little too much and takes away from the lyrics and flows a bit. But this is a nice track overall

They should of eased up a little on the production..both artists were decent nothing eye popping though. The content of the song seems overcrowed and packed in..like the sample and the lyrics dont match. Decent song

You know what? I'm gon rate this by the second 19, after he said: “They don’t believe the truth, how they gon believe your God” over an instantly classic sounding beat!!! Great! We need more songs like this gem, Z!

@ complainers: I don’t think there’s too much goin on the production at all and their flow was not overshadowed in any way! What are you talking about?
If you suggest the beat to have a lower volume, maybe, but I don’t understand why would you ruin such a good production just so that it could be… less?! Are you sure you’d like it better then or would you just rate it the same? Maybe it’s because I’m using earphones, but I was able to appreciate the song as a whole. |

The concept/lyrics/flow is tight on here & the sample in the track is just menacing, as is the beat.... Nice job ....

Structure of the track is all over the place, bass doesn't hit hard enough, gets repetitive.
I can't get with this one...still don't know why. |

I agree with FredRico. I listened to this once while doing work - did a double take on a few lines - and then played it again (under headphones) with no interruptions.
My decision was then made... solid hip hop record.

Decent hip hop song, but not my type. The production is great, it has a good vibe and his flow is good, but the overall result is a lil repetitive, I don't hear anything so catchy here. Not bad at all but I've heard better
