The Regiment - Battle Cry
Artist: The Regiment
Producer: Apollo Brown
Album: Panic Button
Label: Soul Tools Ent.
Now this is what should be playing in the speakers when I run into work, teeth glaring, name tag polished and ready to do work on some TPS reports. Everyone should have a Battle Cry, and if you don’t, The Regiment’s just provided one. This high-energy offering is their latest single since signing with HiPNOTT Records and may be proof that the Detroit duo is due for big things in the industry. With Apollo Brown on the boards, The Regiment spit on the meaning of hip-hop and the reason why they’re so dope with lines like “lyrics be like sitcoms/ samples Brady Bunch meet the Good Times”. While some ears my disagree with the variety of eclectic noises going on in this one, I can’t think of a better way to get an adrenaline boost through my headphones than with a good ol’ fashioned Battle Cry. If you need another reason to wild out, be sure to check out their latest mixtape, Back to Lyrics (Feb. 9 via KevinNottingham.com) and album, Panic Button (summer of ’11), when they respectively drop.

Leave it up to a few fellas from Motown to get me geeked about back to the 90's, street rap. "Battle Cry" is enjoyable from both a lyrical and production stand point. Speaking of which... Apollo Brown, your table is ready sir. Keep doing whatever it is you are doing.

There's nothing quite like an old school banger ("old school" meaning Soundbombing like its '99), and this one's got everything you could ask for. The beat gets you hyped, and its nothing but solid rhymes throughout.

This is too loud, the production is doing to much and The Regiment sounds like is trying to keep up.

This was ok, but I do think it's tryna be a bigger song than what it is. I'll give them 2.5 for effort...
