The Anthem

The second track of Chinoiseries, a sample-based beat that was single of the week in 2010.
Onra, from Chinoiseries (2007)

It is track two at 1:49. Onra made it from samples; we could not identify the source record. Abcdr du Son lists it among the tracks with prominent voice samples, compared to RZA's use of voices, and Crack in the Road made it Single of the Week on July 25, 2010, calling it short, sharp and utterly infectious, and reporting it was later chosen for a Coca-Cola commercial at the Beijing Olympics, a claim from that source alone. Wikipedia says it was the outro to the Tip2Tip series in 2026, though its cited source does not clearly support it. Setlist.fm shows it at Kilo Lounge in Singapore on February 1, 2018. We found no chart entry, video or WhoSampled data.
