About This Album
Across the creative ecosystems that shape popular and roots-derived music in the Philippines, hip-pop has emerged as a particularly dynamic mode of expression, one that draws on the rhythmic storytelling core of hip-hop while embracing the melodic breadth of pop to reach audiences across local and global spheres. Within the catalogue’s curated grouping of Filipino hip-pop releases, the album Lost & Found sits as a distinct addition to the growing body of work that expands the genre’s range, even as it aligns with the core values that define hip-pop from the region: a commitment to creative autonomy, the ability to weave personal and collective narrative into every layer of a project, and a willingness to push against the rigid genre silos that have long limited how works from Southeast Asian creators are categorized and presented to audiences.
