DPB (David Paul Brooks) is back with another soul-stirring message wrapped in beats and bars. His new single and video, “Peer Pressure,” is a mirror held up to the faces of today’s youth. In his signature style of “positive rap,” DPB tackles the silent battles kids fight behind school hallways and bedroom doors: fitting in, self-worth, and staying true to who they are.
The track unfolds through a heart-to-heart between parents and their children, who are about to step into a new school year. With raw and relatable dialogue, it dives into the minds of a teenage girl and boy grappling with questions of appearance, popularity, and purpose. Whether it’s chasing trends or dodging temptations, DPB paints a vivid picture of the tightrope walk teens face daily, all while holding onto faith and identity.
“Peer Pressure” ultimately delivers a surge of encouragement: You don’t need to be anyone else. God made you enough. That message lands like a lifeline for anyone feeling lost in the noise of expectations.
With cinematic visuals and a message that sticks long after the final hook, DPB’s latest is felt. This is music with a mission, crafted to uplift and guide. “Peer Pressure” proves once again why DPB is a voice for the voiceless.
