B-ROC x APLM - Lutang (Moonlight Blunts) Teaser




Lutang, written by APLM, follow her on Twitter, @APLMaria



The beautiful and most dangerous thing about releasing an instrumental album, is that you don't have control over where other artists take it and if they understood the limits of taking a song and making it their own. So far, with the release of my album, This Is Your Captain Speaking -- I've been blessed with the takers and have been impressed by their own renditions of beats I've spent hours and hours with.

As I've said; "We will not feel the same way about this album, but that's the point." -- these beats were done with stories and inspired by several moments, which doesn't necessarily translate to these renditions but that's the point. I always had an understanding that these beats need to be songs at the end of the day. That's the point of it all. Whether you are up for it or not, is beyond my control. Just to back track a bit, the beat - Moonlight Blunts was inspired by a sample I picked up through a break beat dig. If you could guess what sample this is, I will give you a Soulfiesta goodie bag -- Initially a song was done over this beat which featured CJ Cruz and Quest entitled "Dream On", the song remains unreleased and is the song line up for the planned "Silverbacks" compilation. This beat was also inspired by playing Super Mario video games, while he's jumping to get these coins. Named it Moonlight Blunts from a night in October 2012.

APLM takes puts her song writing to the test and writes one in Tagalog. I'm actually blown away by the marriage of the beat and her melody. So we will work on making this a full song for you guys. Do give us feedback on the song when you find time to. Thank you Maria, for writing that dope ass feature article on my blog. Excellent stuff!


Dalawang magkaibang
Puso. kaya ka nahihibang
Siguro. ang utak mo ay lutang
Paano? maayos pa kung pumili ka na lang

Sagana ka kung sagana sa pagmamahal
Pero sagad na sagad na ang ikukumpisal
Kaya sawa na, sawa na ako sa kakaasa
Wala na, wala na talaga

Akong paniniwalaan
Bakit pa? tiwala kong nasasayang
Sa kanya, mabuti pa kung iniwan
Para sa iba. umayos ka, pinili mo na yan

Oooh -- hindi ko na kaya
Oooh -- wala na talaga

Sagana ka kung sagana sa pagmamahal
Pero sagad na sagad na ang ikukumpisal
Kaya sawa na, sawa na ako sa kakaasa
Wala na, wala na talaga
