About this Song
Hip-hop emerged as a community-focused creative form in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York. From those origins, it spread across every border and ocean on the planet. It took root in nearly every country, adapting to local cultural norms, creative histories, and social realities. It remained a vessel for creative expression that serves the unique needs of the communities that make it. Hip-hop first reached the Philippines decades ago. Over the years, the Filipino hip-hop scene grew into one of the most vibrant in Southeast Asia. It supports a wide range of creators, all working within the broad umbrella of the genre. Their work resonates deeply within the Philippines, and it also travels beyond the nation’s borders to reach global audiences. This sound, titled Enjoy The Ride, is part of that longstanding, ongoing Filipino hip-hop legacy. It joins the growing body of work that emerges from the country’s active, deeply engaged creative community.
