About This Album
Filipino hip-hop occupies a unique space in the global tapestry of the genre, weaving together localized cultural currents that stretch across every island of the Philippines while engaging with the narrative and structural core that unites hip-hop communities across every continent. As a catalogue entry rooted in this rich, expansive scene, Half Empty, Half Full emerges as a work that fits squarely within the lineage of Filipino hip-hop releases that center nuanced, unflinching perspectives tied to the experiences of people in the country, all while leaning into the thematic flexibility that has made hip-hop one of the most adaptable and enduring creative forms of the last half century.
