Marco Silang - Before I Leave

Aiyo Fiasco kid, this beat right here is fire. Proud of you kid!





We all have things to do, places to be at, people to meet -- rushing all the time. Like everyone on the road who wants to get ahead of everyone. Like each one feels entitled to be the first to reach where they need to be. To be first where? Maybe to be the first to leave and head back ahead of everyone else again. Whatever it is, we are always leaving. We leave home to go to work and also leave work to go to go home. "Before I Leave" is the place between just that -- a beat tape by Marco Silang - the producer alter ego to Mark Fiasco who gave you  the Dear Summer EP's and countless sick tunes over the years. Before I Leave, is that space you exist between two points.

"I always rep Cal city." - but this whole beat tape is an ode to Mark's childhood playground in Silang, Cavite. He adds "Nung napadpad kasi ako sa Caloocan masyadong nag mature na ako mag isip sa murang edad." In all honesty, this first beat tape by Marco Silang's is also a a forthcoming despedida joint. He has reached a new milestone in his life in having a family and has taken an opportunity that will bring his focus in growing this family. When asked on a possible Dear Summer EP 3 -- "Truth is hindi ko pa alam sa ngayon maybe next year or after 2 years? Sa ngayon hindi ko pa talaga alam pero soon siguro."

Focused on bigger things, Marco Silang's "Before I Leave" beat tape is fire -- and traces to a flattering admiration to J.Cole as both lyricist and beat maker. So if you want a sound bed similar to how your man Jermaine does it, you know who to call. Marco Silang's beats has this bounce reminiscent of some early Chrizo and Traumatik joint. "Take Your Time" and "Before I Leave" steals and seals the show with a very a sad note of leaving; but also a promise to come back better!

Make things happen kid. Get settled and stay writing -- I promise you, you're not missing out on much. Congratulations and more blessings to come!

Soulfiesta Exclusive: The Maharlika Life

 photo Maharlika Life - Malaya anatomy_zpsbmbbkjan.jpg


Look at the anatomy of this self developed Baybayin caligraphy.



The Maharlika Life is one of the brands people should look out for in 2017! It takes a genuine lover of our Baybayin caligraphy to be able to sit down, create, innovate and show the evolution of this close to extinct art form. There is something to be said about preserving the art form and the craft that is of the old but there is also something to be said and root for someone who wants to see it evolve and carefully in his own, disect -- teach and innovate our past to something current and something the artist can call his own. While The Maharlika Life is not subjected to just art and products -- but it takes its cue from various street wear products (they did a cap collaboration with SSO) and current undertakings.

Here's a few words from proprietor Ian Lucero:

"Colonial mentality has always been a widespread sickness in our society. It has come to the point where we appreciate foreign culture more than our very own. This disorder is evident in numerous ways, such as having a condescending attitude towards anything local, reluctance to continue traditional practices (e.g. weaving, tattooing, writing), removal of our mother tongue in the education system, and many others.

Check out this "Malaya" collaboration cap with SSO.


Enter Maharlika Life; a nationalistic art movement that honors and celebrates our nation’s pre-colonial heritage through visual arts. Our current creations are characterized by a unique and stylized interpretation of traditional motifs in language, culture, arts. Through these creations, we are creating socially, culturally, and visually meaningful work that ignite a sense of identity and pride in our heritage.

In order to carry out our goal, we aim to captivate, educate, and propagate.

Great caligraphy work! Workshops soon?

Through artistic works, exhibits, talks, we aim to captivate our people by awakening their passion for our culture. Through these channels, we aim to educate our people about the importance of championing our culture. Finally, through the help of the people we captivated and educated, we aim to propagate our group and our cause with their help, through word of mouth and personal action."
