DPB - Undefeated 3.0 (Radio Edit)

Undefeated 3.0 (Radio Edit) - DPB (Pop) With “Undefeated 3.0”, DPB serves an anthemic pop record and love letter to his own resilience. It’s a simple, yet filling, arrangement, centered on a wide 808 and punchy toms and kicks, backed by some twinkling keys and amped up with some guitars in the chorus. It reminds us a lot of R&B crossover records of the ‘10s—the height of acts like Neyo and the return of MJB. But this soundscape just sets the stage for the true star of the track—the lyrics. Delivered with a Rick Ross-esque husky flow on the verses and complemented with a strong chorus vocal, the song is a pep talk set to music. Gratitude, positivity and resilience are served for anyone needing to be reminded of their own power and potential.

Best Lyric: “I am the champion of this fight.”
