MUSIC LYF: John Rendez Returns to Rap Recording

With a lot of new rap stars now, its hard to find the artists who started with the "old school" style which paved the careers of rappers like Francis Magalona. But through the years, these rappers either shifted to a different genre or migrated to a different county which made the rap scene a little obscure and branched far from its roots.

Now a returning artist, John Rendez came back to launch his new album under Polyeast Records with the album "Metaldog". Not to be confused with Pitbull or Fliptop artists, John Rendez wants to be known in the music industry with that title with his rap which brings the sound style of the 90s and upgrades that can grab the attention of the present generation.

He might be on the same age range of he popular rap artists, he is very confident that his style stands out among the hiphop artists now. With his first album relased back in the 90s, he still have what it takes to make good tracks that can get the attention of the new rap generation.

BLAH BLAH BLOGS BER EDITION: Happy Birthday Francis Magalona

Being a follower of the Master Rapper its great to meet his family which I see is a very happy one though sad since he left the world at his age. I have loved his song, though I am not really into rap, but I was deeply moved with his words of wisdom and actions that moved me and challenged me to be a better Filipino. This remains a challenge to me like everybody else but somehow though this blog I can also influence others to do the same, the call for change is always there but few only would dare to take it.
