PinOy Hiph0ppaz vOL. 2

Pilipinas Hip-Hop's dynamic duo of Jug Honeyluv & Gazelle together with their brainchild Butta Flava Entertainment & PHH Organization are back with the 2nd volume of the Pinoy Hiphoppaz project & this time their demanding that you turn the radio off & feed your CD player something HOT off-the-grill. With a perfect blend of street anthems, urban rhetorics savor with Ilocanja Flip-Hop & a lil' bit of  R&B this edition of PHH appeals to not just the typical rap en masse but to the purists, the haters, the posers, the biters, the conscious heads & the music connoisseur also.


Pinoy Hiphoppaz Vol.2  jumpstart with the posse cut "PHH Events Anthem". Akasha Records' protege & MUSIKA's resident MC extraordinaire JR Prisno set the tone of the album with his spoken word introduction of the true definition of Pinoy Hip-Hop. Underground superheroes Scan Kalibre & Simon (half of the MABANGES click of Pinoy Rap) collaborated with their Canada based homeboys on the bouncy & trippy "Hip-Hoppan Na 'To!". Pinoy pride playfully showcased on the hot jam "Pinoy" by the undefeated Tambayan all-stars. [FYI] I documented the making of "Pinoy" on my "china f0n" but unfortunately my SD card was formatted due to trojan virus.


The Tambayan 2010 remix of the underground classic "AGGARAW" featuring the Ilocanoe greats RICOM [Isabela], JR Prisno [Nueva Ecija], capOnE [Ilocos Region] on the same track with the sensational soothing voice of  Lil' Humble [Laguna] doesn't clash at all, but actually makes "dz nut" simply irresistible. The production of Melody is crisp & sure to have you head bobbing. "SA'YO", an ode to the enchanted beauty of Laguna by her adopted son Lil' Humble a.k.a. Francis Erick Hernandez (of Talentadong Pinoy fame) is a heartfelt & inspiring song.


When you name your crew "Berdugo ng Kanluran" you're putting yourself in a position to fill some pretty big shoes but Tondo heavyweights BNK of Midwest Records seem to be wearing them pretty well nowadays. Kudos to David Marcos for spitting Pinoy lingo on his opus "Ang Nasasakdal" eventhough he represents the Bay area.


Nonetheless, Pinoy Hip-Hoppaz Volume 2 delivers jaw-dropping collection of cunning & intricate rhymes. It's packed with 16 phat joints of P.I.'s legendary underdogs & some of its most promising newcomers. And the magic touch of Tambayan's head honcho $yper One a.k.a. Brighante & tha album mastering of Paul "PIKASO" Sirate made the quality of the CD superb & tighter than a virgin!


For Hip-Hop aficionados looking for artistic breadth, it hits hard in every dimension. A must-have!
