Junior tight end Josiah Price, 82, and sophomore linebacker Chris Frey celebrate after the game against Michigan, on Oct. 17, 2015 at Michigan Stadium. The Spartans defeated the Wolverines 27-23.

Michigan State's win against Michigan was indescribable.

But one Spartan fan found the words to express how amazing this win feels for everyone wearing green and white in his single "We Are Spartans." 

General management sophomore Evan Dunbar has lived in the Lansing area all his life and said he has been a Spartan fan since "forever." 

"My grandparents and my parents went to State, it's a family tradition and I love it," Dunbar said.

While watching the game with his girlfriend, Dunbar said he had accepted defeat until the last few moments. 

"I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes," Dunbar said, "I went outside my apartment and it was crazy, cars were honking everywhere, people were screaming go green, go white, this miraculous win brought the city together and I wanted to be a part of that".

Dunbar spent all of Saturday night writing, producing and recording the single in his own studio called Shooting Moons Media in East Lansing. 

"I got a start up business loan from The Hatch sponsored by MSUFCU only open to Michigan State students and we are doing renovations to the studio opening November 15," Dunbar said.

Dunbar has been rapping and recording music for four years and dropped his first E.P called "The Training Day" last year. Later this spring he will be releasing his first full album titled "Gone." 

His single "We Are Spartans" is available on SoundCloud.
