Buddahbeads first turned heads across the Filipino music landscape in 2020, when his standout feature on Shanti Dope’s underground hit “Lutang” announced the arrival of a bold new voice in the nation’s thriving hip-hop circuit. In the years since that breakout turn, he has cemented his status as one of the most authentic forces shaping the new wave of Pinoy hip-hop, earning a reputation for raw lyricism, gritty delivery, and a signature genre-blending style that weaves together trap, street rap, and the core traditions of original Pilipino music, or OPM. That same innovative, deeply rooted approach carries through every work he releases, including the pop sound Day2Day, which extends his discography’s commitment to centering the street-level struggles and quiet triumphs that define the experience of his generation.
