Obie Trice - Battle Cry
Artist: Obie Trice
Producer: Rezza Brothers
Album: Bottoms Up
Label: Black Market Ent.
If you’re one of the many fans who’ve been waiting, fiending for Obie Trice‘s senior set… well, you’ve probably just about kicked the habit. It’s been a damn long time, to put it lightly. Fortunately, all it takes is a single sip to send you back to the bottle—thus, I’m very proud to present the project’s latest single. Despite the title, this joint is as much a therapy session as a Battle Cry. Rezza Brothers serve up a piano-led instrumental that drips with wounded determination, and Obie Trice’ delivers rhymes to match the beat’s emotional tenor. Addressing all those who’ve stood in his way—penny-ante haters and industry bureaucrats alike—the Motown emcee laments the fact that his talent and hard work have gone unappreciated for so long: “I ain’t never came wack, all I ever gave’s crack / All I ever gave’s back, ain’t a human being on this earth say opposite that.” Regardless, as the currently-uncredited hook singer puts it, the spitter’s gonna “...keep goin’ on,” driven onward by the hope of a brighter tomorrow. And it looks like that day might be coming sooner than later—the long-delayed Bottoms Up is now set to arrive in record stores August 23, via BME. Keep your fingers crossed!

Now this is a side from Obie Trice I haven't heard in a long time, his last album was full on and I loved it but this is on a whole nother level. I'm really feeling this track. Everything jus works. Obie deserves alot after all the hard yards he's put in over the years.

Not really feeling this track as a whole but I'm ready for Obie to be back in the rap game - I think the hook threw it off for me, was dope on the intro but it got old quick. No fault of Obie's though!

Love this, Obie really is in the zone when he goes introspective, and especially when on production like this. Looking forward to 'Bottoms Up'
