Award-winning artist and filmmaker Ty Bru is back with yet another scene-stealer dubbed “tryin’ to win”
Featuring headline-hitters Styles P and Dave East, “tryin’ to win” is a straight-up homage to the golden era of hip-hop—a gritty, no-nonsense banger built on sharp lyricism, impeccable cadence, and that raw East Coast energy. From the jump, you can tell this isn’t just another rap record; it’s an exercise in precision, where every bar is methodically placed, every rhyme scheme calculated, and the hunger is palpable.
Coming in late on the scene, Ty Bru makes it worth the while, stepping up with something that is both old-school and fresh as he stays true to the classic boom-bap tradition while ensuring his delivery is sharp enough to stand alongside the lyrical prowess of Styles P and Dave East. The hook carries that anthemic quality—something you can chant along to, reinforcing the relentless pursuit of victory, with the verses very much a lyrical sparring match where no one holds back.
The production here is deep, featuring dusty percussion with a soulful yet menacing sample and a bassline that is guaranteed to keep your head nodding. The chemistry between these three artists is palpable, making the jam a certified hip-hop moment.
“Tryin’ to win” is a razor-sharp, forward-driven rap anthem that has been built on hunger, technique, and pure respect for the craft. This track takes you back to that era where bars mattered most, and it still hits hard in today’s landscape.
In keeping up with his MIGHTY MONDAY promise, Ty Bru has delivered again, and his bar-drenched performance here is a reflection of an artist who truly appreciates the essence of storytelling in hip-hop. You can count on that 16-bar drop; the flow and delivery are spot on.
A rapper, artist, and filmmaker in his element, Ty Bru is most certainly the next big thing to blow, and he has more than proved that he is capable. You are witnessing greatness, and this performance is the highlight of it!
Take some time off your busy schedule and listen to some greatness… While at it, recommend the masterpiece to someone who appreciates the art of authentic rap music.
