Road To Araneta Entry 1 "Stay At It"

Day 7 - DJ Spnz learning how to skate in Intramuros.

I've always been a believer of shared dreams. This year, on April 9 - alongside our nations Day of Valor, we partake in a celebration of a shared dream come true. We can draw the parallels of Jay-z making it to Madison Square Garden's "Where hiphop, we weren't even allowed in the building" Fade To Black show; but this wouldn't suffice in giving justice to this dream of filling up the storied Araneta Coliseum and the road we all took to take it.

To The Billboard was a great first step - great energy and got great momentum. It was a start of sharing dreams in this great chapter of what Philippine Hiphop has become. I believe, that like any other great goal, it was meant to be refined. Today, a dream like filling up Araneta with local acts as your main bill -- isn't far fetched at all. We have the numbers, we have the people, we have the talent, we have the leverage, we have the world watching -- all of which, we earned hard and deep. Philippine Hiphop fans are one of the most dynamic markets out there, who better to show corporate how it's done and appreciated better than all of us being fans of each other.

Imagine a tour van, vinyl sticker wrapped around it, imagine the vinyl sticker wrapped around it designed with your favorite artists pictures around it. Imagine it parked in your school and then, imagine kids taking pictures with the van. Look at the calendar, look where we're at today, look where we're headed tomorrow. As simple as the what the van and calendar represent -- that we move accordingly and that we stay the course. The biggest realization hiphop in the Philippines has to have, is that this dream is tangible, that you can touch it, you can be around of and you can partake in.

Road To Araneta JANUARY 2013 schedule.

This isn't about a hit single, a great battle viewed on YouTube by the world -- this is telling you to help us see into fruition a dream that no one can take away from all of us. This is an invitation, I mean - if you had a chance to write history, would you just let us have all the fun? I dream you won't and as serious as this write up sounds -- check how fun filled the calendar is, talk to the people, come out -- shed some light on what we're doing.
