DPB’s “American Strong” Is the Patriotic Hip Hop Anthem We Didn’t Know We Needed

If ever there was a time for a song like this, it’s now. Released on May 23, 2025 just ahead of Memorial Day weekend “American Strong” by Christian hip hop veteran DPB (David Paul Brooks) lands with precision and purpose. It’s not just a song it’s a statement. Wrapped in a booming beat and fiery bars DPB offers more than patriotism he offers a vision. One that blends faith resilience and unity in the face of a culture that often feels more divided than ever.

From the jump DPB makes his mission clear this is about coming together not tearing each other apart. The hook “We are we are American strong” is built to echo through car speakers parade floats and stadiums alike. But it’s in the verses where DPB really does his work. His delivery is urgent but never preachy grounded in scripture but wide open for anyone who believes in something bigger than themselves.

Lines like “Yes we are one color Black white red brown yes my brother” cut through noise and rhetoric reminding listeners that unity isn’t a concept it’s a calling. And when he raps “To put God back in so we can have liberty” it’s clear this isn’t just about waving a flag. It’s about realignment spiritual and national.

What’s refreshing is that “American Strong” doesn’t feel manufactured. There’s no forced sentimentality no cookie cutter chorus. Instead it sounds like DPB really believes this because he does. After years of pushing purpose driven hip hop this track feels like a culmination of everything he’s stood for.

Following the success of his chart topper “Peer Pressure” which addressed peer influence and spiritual identity “American Strong” shifts the lens to a collective identity. And the message We are stronger together when we choose love over hate faith over fear and purpose over division.
