About This Album
Rooted in the interconnected, rapidly evolving creative communities that define contemporary Filipino popular music, the album Buddahbeads carves out space as part of the new wave of work redefining what OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, can sound and feel like for a generation that grew up both embedded in local street culture and connected to global sounds that cross borders with ease. The project draws from a wide pool of influences to weave a genre-blending style that balances trap, street rap, and longstanding traditional OPM frameworks, creating a body of work that feels both rooted in local lineage and responsive to the shifting tides of global pop, fitting neatly into the wide, varied landscape of Filipino pop that continues to gain traction around the world.
