There are rare moments when a song transcends the airwaves and settles deep into your spirit urging you towards a higher purpose. American Strong, the latest single from Christian Hip Hop artist DPB is such a track. This song is a powerful convergence of faith, prayer and fiery conviction wrapped in music.
David Paul Brooks known as DPB for short, is a pro at this. It’s not just music for him; it’s a national statement arriving at a time when America desperately needs a healing soundtrack. The track doubles as a sermon and a street anthem. If there’s anything that DBP is known for, it’s his decade of experience in delivering messages that are unapologetically spiritual yet globally accessible.
American Strong is far more than just another Radio single; it lays the foundation for something greater. The track kicks off with an infectious beat; a rhythmic marching drum line that feels more like a call to arm than a hook. The beat uplifts your spirit even before the first lyric lands. But when the words come, they come with flame. It’s a militant, purpose driven sound that establishes the track as a rallying cry before DPB even begins to Rap.
From the moment DPB chants “We are one yeah” with unwavering conviction, he builds the song’s focus: Unity under God. He’s here to remind us that real Patriotism is not blind Loyalty, it’s faithful accountability. It’s not about red or blue. Not black or white. It’s about God-given identity and living like it matters.
DPB waves the flag not as a routine but as a reference. His lyric “God created this great nation and each of us in His image,” feels less like political commentary and more like a spiritual manifesto. He’s not selling unity for unity’s sake. He’s calling us back to divine design, a truth bigger than trending hashtags. It’s not about erasing our differences but celebrating the Imago Dei in all of us.
The official music video released on October 15 takes the song’s message and brings it to life with bold visuals and symbolic animation, directed by Ouiwey Collins and produced by DPB himself. It doesn’t just reinforce the message, it elevates it. From American iconography layered with multicultural imagery, to scenes of soldiers, families, and community leaders, it paints a vivid picture of what “one nation under God” could look like—if we lived like it was more than a phrase.
The song peaks with verses like No more judging, just loving and So let’s all grow in harmony that America can walk in it’s full glory. This verse highlights an artist who is ready to fix what’s damaged and put the broken pieces together. It’s a humble display of Love and dedication. It radiates a radical hope, not the self-righteous kind but one that is rooted in grace and sincerity. It’s an invitation to mend what is fractured using love as the foundation.
The song’s dedication to foundational American values is powerfully reflected in the line, We honor those who gave their lives to protect our freedom and all of our rights. This moment elevates the track beyond a rallying cry, grounding it’s message in gratitude and patriotic humility. It’s a reminder that the liberty necessary for unity was paid for by immense sacrifice. DPB connects the sacrifices of the past to the moral responsibility of the present.
The way DPB weaves the soul of gospel, hip hop and the cadence of spoken word into one seamless tapestry is exceptional. It’s calm yet commanding. It speaks the truth with silent conviction as it reaches straight for the soul. Every repetition of “We wrote this song just become as one” lands like a brick in the structure of unity. American Strong is not just a track; this is a restoration song.
American Strong has already made history becoming the first Christian Hip Hop song to reach Number one on the National Radio Hits Country Chart, an impeccable feat of genre crossing appeal. This success which also includes top spots on the AC40 and Independent Music Network Charts is proof of the track’s resonance far beyond the typical Christian Hip Hop cycle. DPB did not just write a chart-topping track, he wrote a call to purpose. And if enough of us let it’s message take root, perhaps, we will rediscover our way back to one another.
The core message of American Strong is this: Unity under God is the true source of American strength and there’s a need to make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace.
