About this Song
Rooted in the evolving Hip-Pop ecosystem that has expanded across communities, urban centers, and creative hubs throughout the Philippines, this work carries the core identity of that scene’s independent and mainstream creative currents, bearing the title Relapse. Classified within the broad, dynamic field of Hip-Pop, a genre that blends the rhythmic backbone of hip-hop with the melodic accessibility of pop to create a cross-cultural, widely resonant form, this sound aligns with the genre’s core framing while existing firmly within the specific geographic and cultural context of its Philippine origin. Every thread that shapes this work ties back to the long line of creators who have built the Hip-Pop scene in the Philippines, a scene that has grown from small, localized underground gatherings to a major force shaping popular creative output across the country, reaching audiences across every region and demographic that engages with modern Filipino music.
