DRP - Ipaglalaban Ko (Taas Noo)
DRP album, executively produced by Manny Pacquiao.
Manny Pacquiao gets his hands on a fresh act, DRP (Dirty Room Productions) - and the group will ride it out! Releasing their debut album in the next few weeks, with a ringabck business on the way, DRP are poised to show you a different side of Pinoy Hiphop. I was given the chance to hear the album a few weeks before its release and all I can say is that even with its technical flaws, it has managed to showcase the fun side of hiphop and fuse pop tunes, fun lyrics and R&B vocals into a well rounded album for everyone to enjoy!
Relatively unknown act within the scene, DRP is the winner of the MTV Emerge contest a few years back. With the addition of Gods Will to the fold, DRP - has been doing what its been doing for so long, make music to the best of their talents and get noticed by the right people. Early last year, Pino G and Gods Will released "Pinoy Hollywood" and had a single on the radio via Wave 89.1 - this early they were able to determine the winning mix to get DRP as the group to promote.
DRP's video is directed by Nino Muhlach with other suprise cameos.
The only flaw of the album is the kicks. Personally there are songs where I wanted to hear bigger drums other than that - the album is well produced. Most of the tracks are produced by Pino G. The songs are well introduced and the delivery is filled with confidence showing how experienced these mcs are in recording. Songs like "Eba" - an ode to sinister ladies, "Telepono", "Extravaganza", the Manny Pacquiao anthem "Saludo Sa Hari", the patriotic "Ipaglalaban Ko" - which showcases heartfelt lyrics from the team, are runaway winners for best songs of the album.
I advise you to pick up this album and see the growth of these grown men. You will like most of the tracks, the verses are very candid but the hooks are on point. I caught their performance at BSides and they rock complete with dancers to enunciate their songs into the audience and bring life to the game. It also helps that they aren't heavily affiliated with your more known hiphop acts, makes you look at them as one of the freshest acts of the year - dont just look at them as Manny's newest venture, look at them as the artists that they are individually and collectively.
You can pre-order their album through their Facebook account.
