Following Asher Roth’s general post-secondary hit “I Love College” and Mike Posner’s general success comes Duke’s very own hip-hop anthem from a mysterious Trinity ‘07 graduate by the name of Anthem. The track, titled “Dear Duke,” mentions every part of undergraduate life at the Gothic wasteland wonderland from Campus Dr. to Shooters II to drinking on Duke’s dry East Campus to Brodhead bobbing his head to Anthem’s very own track on the Quad. Anthem also serves up some shout-outs to successful Duke grads like Dan Abrams, Reggie White and J.J. Redick (OK, not all of them are successful). Check out the track here.
Rumor has it that Anthem will be handing out mixtapes at Tailgate this homecoming weekend. But one question remains: how did Duke get so into hip-hop?
UPDATE: Anthem is Anteneh Addisu, now living in New York.

wow…..not digging the subject matter but this kid can really spit..more clever and just better than ashers track… Does he have any other, non college, songs
It would have been the tits had he gave a shoutout to J. BULLY’s hip hop appreciation class. Yeah, an NCMC teaching a class about rap and hip hop culture at Duke University. And it’s legit. Bitchin’
I think you meant to write “Reggie Love”, not “Reggie White”.
