Donny Goines - Champions Anthem
Artist: Donny Goines
Producer: Maki
Album: Success Served Cold
Label: Ink Different, Inc.
Rap anthems are typically geared towards those struggling to succeed against long odds, whether their mission is to hustle their way out of the streets, succeed in an overcrowded music game, or simply be as much of a player as humanly possible (shouts to UGK!). But what about those who’ve already won—don’t they deserve one, too? Donny Goines seems to believe so; on the latest single off his forthcoming full-length, he’s enlisted as few of his winning-est homies to craft a Champions Anthem. Beatsmith Maki provides a suitably exultant, brass-sampled backdrop (complete with a dope piano hook) for the headliner’s victorious bars, as well as the equally triumphant lyrical stylings of Houston mainstay Bun B, Kansas City-repping Booth fave XV, and ATL buzzmaker Pill. DJ Corbett rounds out the lineup, lending his gruff vocals to the record’s hook. So, Booth readers, is everyone on the cut a Champion, or can there be only one? Debate away—or just keep it locked for the latest tunes off Donny Goines’ Rocawear/Artful Dodger-sponsored Success Served Cold street album, scheduled to hit the ‘net November 11.

I am usually critical of any song that uses the word "anthem" in the title. An anthem, to me, must be crowned by the people, the listeners. Not the artist. However, here, Donny must have let some folks listen before announcing the title because the "anthem" moniker is proper. Fittingly.

Bun B refuses to ever spit a wack verse. This is my dude and perfect for starting the track on the right foot. Production is sick and the chorus is cool too. Everyone went in on this. This is a DJ BLAZE BANGER!
