Listen to Dr. Fresch and Def3’s Empowering Collaboration, “Gladiator”

by Michael Ryan · Published December 11, 2023

Back with his signature blend of bass and G-house, Dr. Fresch has teamed up with Vancouver-based wordsmith Def3 to deliver a midtempo masterstroke.

Out by way of House Call Records, "Gladiator" kicks off with Def3's vocals textured with persistent percussion elements and dominant synth work, resembling somewhat of a ticking time-bomb. The gritty beat builds suspense before culminating in a reverberating drop.

The lyricism in "Gladiator" speak to the importance of believing in yourself and being in constant pursuit of your goals: "Failure is inevitable, get back up," Def3 raps with conviction. "We go seven days a week, but 'someday' ain't one."
