About this Song
Shanti Dope, the most influential rap star of his generation, has spent his career igniting a radical new era in Pinoy hip-hop, and his work Coke and Marijuana extends that trailblazing legacy to push the boundaries of Filipino popular music even further. Hailing from the Philippines, Shanti Dope upended long-held divides between the country’s underground hip-hop circuits and its mainstream pop landscape, carving out a permanent space for raw, street-rooted storytelling within the pop sphere that reaches audiences across every demographic and region of the archipelago. His signature approach to craft, marked by a blisteringly fast flow, sharp and incisive lyrics, and a knack for creating tracks that embed themselves in the public consciousness, has turned every new release from the artist into a cultural event, one that resonates equally with young fans gathering in city street corners and audiences tuning into national broadcast and digital platforms.
