Summer in the Philippines - with the heat of the weather slowing down and rain pouring all week, hiphop continues to push through its limit. Its a very crazy summer for hiphop in Pinas. We have the Mastaplann x Bambu Homecoming event, the first ever BPM beat making workshop and more importantly 3 recent events that allows us to show how much of a community we've become. First, the WAVE Urban Music Awards where we would like to congratulate Yumi & Thyro for bagging Best Original Song - although I must say, what wasn't original about everyone? Big wins for my boys in Flipmusic, dominating the nominee list and Q-York taking home Best Urban Group honor!
Second, the recently concluded Vito Crew x Peoples listening party to benefit the farmers of Hacienda Luicita. Amazing feat and amazing benefitiary! Hiphop never loses its grounds in the Philippines! Third, I want to give a big shoutout to people who put together the Jambase event in Mandaluyong. In the spirit of The Community weekly summer show - they are buzzing, and been helping out build a new set of artists to be displayed and showcased. Great breeding ground there, I know the event came to an end last March 28, but those weekly events that lasts for a month serve as boot camp and networking nest for new leaders! Kudos to the teams behind it!
With that said, I'm giving you Wave 89.1's recently awarded Best New Artist - Rjay Ty of LDP's newest music video "Catch You" which features Kookoo Ramos and Cort Catajay as the leads. Directed by Turbulence Productions' Dominic Nuesa, the video shows a woman suffering from extreme psoriasis - a disease than can be aggravated to make your joints hurt. This was deliberately picked to create awareness of this illness and what a great story the video tells!
Did you know? Kookoo Ramos was the same girl showcased in LDP's Here To Own it video, she is one of Manila's best graf writer and painters! She actually did the painting in the video herself! Rjay Ty is wearing a great blazer jacket from Twelfth House available at Secret Service in Ronac, cop that shit! Rjay Ty has also been in 3 other music videos by Dominic Nuesa - Back To Love, Here To Own It and Beyond Beyond.
Have a great weekend guys!
