Pop music from the Philippines anchors this sound, Ang Bagong Ako, part of Loonie’s much-awaited comeback album Meron Na, a project that centers collaboration as one of the most powerful tools to craft meaningful, enduring work, pulling from the full breadth of the country’s dynamic hip-hop community to build a listening experience that unfolds like a rollercoaster ride, never lingering on a single tone or style long enough to feel predictable. Loonie pulls together a roster of celebrated Philippine Hip-Hop artists to bring his vision to life, including Flow G, Omar Baliw, JRLDM, and Smugglaz, alongside up-and-coming talent Hev Abi, rounding out a cast of voices that each bring their own distinct perspective to the album’s overarching narrative, turning a solo comeback project into a collective celebration of the scene that shaped Loonie’s career.
