She is not deemed as a fresh face in the Philippine music scene because she was actually a member of the hip-hop group, Dice and K9 Mobstarr. The posse was become noted in 2003 because of their single Itsumo. Hi-C’s potential was ascertain when she whined the female part in the verse and many Filipinos even envisaged that she was Japanese! However, the exaltation of Dice and K-9 merely lasted till 2008. Only later this year, Hi-C cinched to do a solo career and it’s a stupendous extract that she selected Physical as her debut single. Here is Physical, a definitely sweltering music video from Hi-C!

If Dice and K-9 have already left the local music industry, Young JV bursts in to replenish hip hop, smooth rap and R & B songs for Filipinos and Asians. Young JV whose real pseudonym is Eduardo JV Kapunan III is really a juvenile because he is 19 years of age yet he is doing magnanimous in furnishing fresh and full of beat music. He was 16 years of age when he perceived that he can quickly made an impromptu rap beat. His first album is titled as Doin’ Big Young JV which actualized an immense impact in the local music. Young JV’s sophomore album, ready or not has 15 tracks that will indubitably be a hit. His current single from the album is Don’t Know You that accentuates Heidi Riego. The adorable song certainly prattles about a guy and a lady who does not discern each other. The two just grappled and they just wanted to sustain each other in ponderous way.

The first three albums that he had exonerated impelled him to be recognized as one of the most auspicious hip hop rapper in the Philippines.

The ward has imbued him to scribed verses about the situation of most Filipinos. Matrikula is also so distinguished because most of the celebrated Filipinos have collaborated with Gloc-9 to effectuate this amazing album! His latest and second track: Balita (News) is a piece basically vocal by Asin (Salt), one of the egregious Filipino groups. Gloc-9 added some rap lyrics with the song and together with the help of Gabby Alipe of the Filipino rock band, Urbandub, the single became magnificent! You will discover in the music video that it precisely converses about the Filipino conditions and government. A Filipino family and two guys playing chess that signifies Mindanao are just some of the features in the video that will make you implore for more.

The track termed At the Hospital by the band, the Ambassadors indeed like Gloc-9’s album had a motivation. The Ambassadors have existed in the Philippine music scene for so many years and they maintained their positions in not exposing themselves too much in the limelight. The band is primarily constituted of four men coming from Cebu, Philippines. The band members are Bai Nuñez: the lead vocalist who also plays guitar, Joseph Agura who engages with bass, Dennis Suarez who performed the drums & snores and Chris Janulgue who rocks with guitars. In 2006, the band yielded their album Question Mark with 16 tracks. Today, their album entitled Life Goes On has 12 remarkable songs which embodied their carrier single, At the Hospital. Obviously the setting of the video is at the hospital and all of the members are wearing hospital suits. However, the gist of the verse is slanting for a remedy at the place. Did they ever found it? You better scrutinize the music video to descry out!

If the Ambassadors hovered in the shadows of prevalence, Spongecola couldn’t resist their augmenting recognition especially with ladies. The band is formed in 2002 at the Ateneo De Manila University by the lead vocalist and the front man, Ysmael ‘Yael’ Yuzon. Yael’s long time friend Gosh Dilay, one of the guitarists of Spongecola appended him to look for the other band members. The two met Armo Armovit who is the other guitarist and Chris Cantada who became the drummer. The epithet Spongecola like most of the Filipino bands was not their first preference. The band first labeled was Sponge which was enlivened from R.S. Surtee’s Mr. Sponge Sporting Tour. When they found out that there was already an existing band in Detroit, USA branded as Sponge, they rapidly just added ‘cola’ with their band moniker. Spongecola already had absolved two efficacious and smashing albums and singles for the past six years. Yet late of 2008, the drummer Chris Cantada bid goodbye to the band because of his worsening health condition. Just later of this year, they have announced their new drummer, Ted Mark Cruz who already been part of other Filipino bands. Spongecola’s third album is a self-titled in which their latest and fourth single can be found. The rock track is titled, Walang Katulad (No Other Than).

In fact, Ikaw Pa Rin (You are still the one) from their self-titled debut album Sulat Araw Kwento (Letter Day Story) tells about a man’s perpetual love to a lady. The setting of the video was shot in a school and you will espy that most of a time, a lady is being stressed. If you can impute with the song then you should tout this video…

Is love really compels an entity not to torpor? For most of the people the riposte is yes. However, the Miguel Escueta’s track sleeping while the worlds awake is not about a person who is falling in love and cannot sleep. The carrier single is from M.E.’s 2009 E.P. which is Miguel Escueta’s sophomore album. Miguel Escueta instigated his music career when he consorted one of Philippines FM radio station contest titled, the Magic 89.9 Acoustic Break Competition in 2003.

A person’s essence is really abundant of conundrums. The Filipino band, Sugarfree justified it with their carrier single titled Hay Buhay (Hay Life…). Sugarfree is pondered as one of among the few bands in the Philippines that have been survivor through out the years. Why? First, the band members are only three yet they have erected robust songs since 2003. Second, like other bands they have encountered faux pas and changes yet they are still lucrative in the music scene. Lastly, Sugarfree had already emancipated four breaking albums and with their fifth and latest album, Mornings and Airport they surely attested that there are unbeatable. Today, the band is composed of the vocalist Ebe Dancel, the bassist Jal Taguibao and the drummer Kaka Quisimbing.
