Taking its title from a clothing line founded by Tommey Walker, "Detroit vs. Everybody" is a posse cut where each included Detroit rapper explains how they managed to rise above the struggle to stardom from their hometown while still representing it. The song received positive reviews from music critics who called it one of the best tracks off the album. "Detroit vs. Everybody" charted at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Syndrome, was shot in black-and-white showing various locations in Detroit.
