Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Tupac, a legendary rapper born from the hip-hop scene of the 1990s, has continued to see new releases compiled from unreleased recordings even after passing away at the young age of 25.

The impact he’s had on subsequent artists is immeasurable.

While “Road To Glory” may be considered relatively minor compared to his famous hits, it served as the entrance theme for Mike Tyson, who is also known for his connection with Tupac.

Tyson himself is a living legend in boxing, so this pairing of legends can only be described as the ultimate.

Despite its simple production, this track feels packed with the essence of pure hip-hop.

Listen to it—and claim your victory!

Even if you’re not a combat sports fan, you’ve probably heard of the legendary boxer Mike Tyson.

He has used many entrance songs over the years, but perhaps the most memorable is the rap track he used for his 1997 fight against Francois Botha.

The title of that song is “Intro,” performed by American rapper DMX.

The lyrics, which evoke boxing, were also distinctive.

An intro is the section before the vocals begin—an ideal title for a ring entrance right before the fight starts.

Remy Bonjasky, the K-1 fighter who gained popularity for his phenomenal jumping ability and sharp knee strikes.

He’s an intellectual fighter who works as a banker in his day-to-day life, and in matches he uses meticulously calculated counters.

Combined with the ruthless nature of his fighting style and some judgment calls that seemed influenced by favoritism, he played the role of an absolute heel in K-1.

His entrance theme was this track, “Judgement Time.” It’s a relatively obscure song, but its high-energy vibe and melody really fire you up—listening to it will boost your motivation!
