LOONIE MONDAYS: DITO SA MAYNILA

Loonie feat. Toney Chrome, Ron Henley, Mike Kosa
& J-Skeelz - Dito Sa Maynila (Produced by One Thedd)


Today we celebrate Loonie Mondays! As we wait in anticipation for the final release date of this classic album, Loonie has indulged his fans with this streaming of one of the best posse tracks of the year, DITO SA MAYNILA! With the lyrical prowess dictated to you in the native tongue -- 187 Mobstaz rocks a track with the formidable Stick Figgas as they tell you with licensed mics, that Manila is still about survival of the fittest! Tondo stand up! This is a track that will be played worldwide wherever Tagalog Rap is appreciated!

The rhymes are so vivid that if you really have lived a portion of Manila's offering of a hard knock life, you will smile on the local color given light to. From the jeeps, being late, traffic and bad public transportation, "kulay abong langit", rent, running for President and PRIDE.

Relevance and significance over success, as we also celebrate the CNN Hero Awardee. This song gives you a hint of how hard that dude pushed that blackboard just get some kids to learn and stay out of the streets! Kudos to Efren and Loonie! BACK TO LOVE son!!



"Halika na't sumugod sa karagatan/
ng alikabok at usok malalampasan/
ang kahit anong pagsubok humawak ka lang/
higpitan mo lang ang kapit, tibayan mo lang/
wag na wag kang mangangawit ang mga peklat mo ang magsisilbing patunay/
madaling mamatay kasi mahirap na ang buhay/
kailangang kumilos, kailangan kumikita/
Pilipinong pinipilit pilipitin ang dila/
walang kape sa mesa, walang kapera-pera/
pag gantong taghirap dapat wala ng teka teka/
teka teka teka muna sandali/
mauunahan ka ng oras pag hindi ka nagmadali/
dapat mabilis at matulin na parang bus patungong Baguio/
wala nang atrasan kasi pinutol ko ang cambio/
tapos yun preno mahina, yun makina maingay/
sa Metro Manila talagang matira matibay/"

QUEST "BACK TO LOVE"




Quest - Back To Love (Produced by B-Roc)

Breathe in, breathe out. Life will always take you to an adventure if you allow it to. Every journey is a moment that will define you. Learn, laugh, play, dance, sing, scream, pause then sing again. What I'm about to share is beyond music. This is my life exposed for all to experience. Nothing fabricated, raw and uncensored. This is my music, don't misuse it, don't confuse it, don't abuse it. Just live in it, journey through it. And who knows you might find your music through the journey.

New season. New beginnings. Same heart. Same source.

Thank you. Enjoy. This is gonna be fun! Lets go!

KANYE's GLOW IN THE DARK BOOK



KANYE WEST GLOW IN THE DARK


Yesterday, my grandma brought home a book for me -- GLOW IN THE DARK. I began my journey in art via drawing; understood and relearned composition each and everytime I see photographs. I would also spend hours online just browsing through pictures, graphic designs and ad campaigns just so when I design my banners and posters, I have a collage of pictures I can look at. By far, in the years of my adult life doing music -- no picture book could've been better to have than this one. The book is bigger than your regular magazine, which allows you bigger pictures. And the interview done within it is simply indulging.

Earlier in this blog I mentioned how you can differentiate the effects of destiny and fate only through looking back. Kanye does a good job in compiling this, and looking back making footnotes of the moments captured in pictures. He's destined to be a great artist, whether culturally pop or just flamboyantly arrogant. His love for pop culture isn't tucked away amidst the hard undergound image we heads want our artists to be. Though it may turn you off -- the realness to oneself is a gift for one, not for two.

Composition and lighting, these are words we see pictures by. I'm drawn to pictures as much as I am drawn into a dope verse. And as a musician, we are all of different makes. I remember talking to Gap and our affinity to drawing and music -- I told him, some people write they're music considering words, experiences, metaphors and style -- while we, as we've drawing all our lives, our music comes from a different perspective. We write music considering the light so we can paint the picture vivid.

BEYOND BEYOND: Entry 48 "DESTINY BEYOND FATE"

BACK TO LOVE

NEW SINGLE OUT ON NOV 20 2009!!

Some people believe in fate and some in destiny. Destiny is your design and your contribution to the world beyond all that you've aligned yourself to be. Did you bump into this road of musicianship by destiny or by fate? As one would put it, fate comes to you much like a surprise unlike destiny in which you place yourself with hardwork and sacrifice to get to that destined state. They say, a realization of the difference between fate and destiny can be wisely deliberated only through looking back -- FEELING IT THROUGH.

This November 20th, we will give you a way to deliberate your fate and your destiny. As we take you to a place, overshadowed and overlooked. A place where your design as a person doesn't take a backseat.

Loonie - UNRELEASED VERSES (Produced by DJ Bangin)

Our 2nd installment of Loonie Mondays takes a little more time to put up because of certain things I had to come up with and be at today. Nonetheless, here's this weeks Loonie offering as The Ones Who Never Made It is being printed and will be available this coming week. This track is produced by DJ Bangin repping 6000 Goonz CEBU-JAPAN connect! This song is a rare one as Loonie spits the same verse you hear on Christmas Mourning (Thinking Mans Hiphop) and also some verse you will be familiar with once you hear the album itself. One of the song these verses belong to is Sinungaling -- this track features all of Stick Figgas' member, including one from the orginal roster. Also, the Sinugaling track that appears in the album contains of the most complex mind boggling riddle rapped in a song. I won't kill the surprise for you guys. So for now, while we all wait for the official release -- bump this shit!

Loonie and the rest of the guys are in Cebu for the 3 day music festival. They are flying back to Manila as we speak and will finalized the nationwide release of Loonie's classic album.

LOONIE MONDAYS: F WITH THIS G

Photobucket



Loonie - F With This G

November 2, the first monday of the month and as promised, Soulfiesta incooperation with 6000 GOONZ is featuring Loonie all month long. Today I brief you on the up coming classic of an album he is making "THE ONES WHO NEVER MADE IT". A month ago, I caught Loonie perform in Saguijo and just a week ago, I had a chance to listen to most of the tracks made for this release, and all I told him was "Francis M. would have loved this!"

There is a song in this release that caught my ear the most "XXX" -- a little personal and bare, I wouldn't spoil it for you guys, but to me seeing Loonie's wit and klever lines approach sensitiveness is always a mark of growth. The infamous "Isang Bara Ka Lang" which now has a verse from Gloc himself is definitely a sure favorite! The entire album is pieced together brilliantly from skits to songs, they all fit perfect for the concept and for the timing. There is a song about call center agents' lives which will definitely catch you off guard and turn heads -- we all had a realization of the call center life but Loonie put it in words vividly. The caliber of guests in this album will show how Loonie's skill is unmatched even with the best out there. And yeah! Trapp did his thing on a verse here as well -- far better than what most of your guys are used to!

A more indepth review will follow soon as the album comes out and I've sat down on everything from music to the execution of the CD. But in advance, I want to congratulate Loonie for keeping his focus on building with his team. Congratulations to 6000 Goonz for carving this classic album!
