2010 SOULFIESTA Pinas Hiphop Power Rankings #19

Marcus Davis Jr. - Filipina Girl (Produced by Marcus Davis Jr.)

NUMBER 19: Marcus Davis Jr. - Marcus Davis is already a veteran in the scene. As much as you think you don't know of him, he's been making moves for a minute now. Tons of things have developed for this dude since releasing his first album in Pinas, cmon now do your research. I saw the poster at a studio in Katipunan before even meeting this guy. It might have been an album that didn't get enough shine but this dude came to Pinas with a plan and have been grinding hard ever since. As the president of ATM Entertainment he then was responsible for blowing up Amber Davis' career. With songs such as Manila, Radio, Back Into You, Taas Noo -- under his belt, he has been integral in mapping out Amber's catalog. These songs also alongside great videos -- showed mainstream Pinas a taste of how R&B is done under supreme supervision and showcased how competitive Pinas was. Amber Davis is responsible for pushing that R&B back into the radio, charts and video channels! He has also written hits for Billy Crawford, Jay-R, Kris Lawrence, Young JV and more. A well traveled performer song writer, he has been working and expanding his clientele around the globe. With his work ethic alone, he has developed relationships with major record labels in Pinas -- making him the go to guy for R&B and hiphop in Pinas. He has served hits for artists under Viva Records and Universal Records; has worked with PLDT, his voice and his music can be heard on the best station IDs for radio at WAVE, and also bagged the ABS CBN station ID with the theme "One Team One Summer". He also has done work with Universal Studios Japan, TV5, Magic 89.9, Sony BMG, Star Records and more.

Amber Davis - Back Into You

Amber Davis feat. Gloc 9 - Taas Noo

Word is, he recently got a job to run a sub label from one of the majors named Pinoy Records. He is the CEO of that outfit and will be pushing some acts in the near future (I am in no liberty to share what I know at this point). He also still pens songs for himself and his most recent hit was "FILIPINA GIRL" and held the number 1 spot on WAVE's SOULREVIEW for numerous weeks! This same song made a lot of noise online being the number 1 bought OPM song in various sites! Also, there is a project he has been spearheading, working on to match up local superstar R&B celebrities with your favorite underground hiphop heads -- I know for a fact that there is a Nimbusnine x Jay-R song in the works and it's being made to bridge the gap between the two music monster sectors and break bread!


AMBER DAVIS's new album entitled "FILAM" will be launched this friday June 11 8PM at Circa in Eastwood,Libis. Keep pushing that OPM HIPHOP SOUL music!


That legendary Kenneth Duremdes number homie, Marcus Davis Jr.



Did You Know: My team made it to that Taas Noo video and when we got there they were all wrapping up. I remember this was around the same time we released Back To The New School in the radio and we had just came from promoting on RX 93.1; then we went to pay our congratulations to the All Stars anniversary in Circa before hitting up the video shoot. Its a coming to full circle of sorts knowing Amber is releasing another album this friday at the same venue we were in over a year ago and this lovely Power Ranking feature. Word to your momma, my timing is just sick.
