New Album/Mixxtapes: "Out Na Sa Rap Game" & "Classics" -Hi-Jakkk

You guys have undoubtedly heard of him by his other more notorious moniker - Tha' Enemy of the State, Teflon Don and often cited as the King of da' Undaground, Hi-Jakkk. It doesn't need to be said to be known. An original member of Death Threat from back in the 'Wanted' era, Hi-Jakkk is one epitome of the dark, grimey underground sound that "dominated" Pinoy Rap in the late '90s. Some of the most memorable albums of that era have come out of his camp, and many active artists in the community today have gotten their start from appearing on Hi-Jakkk's projects, including Sly Kane (cop that album people) and even the biggest name in tagalog rap today, Gloc-9. After an untimely falling out with Death Threat and Gloc, Hi-Jakkk seemingly vanished from the rap scene, opening up lanes for other underground rappers to fill. Now, after all the controversy and beef and hate, and a memorable surprise appearance at the height of the Philippine Hip-Hop Awards' popularity, Hi-Jakkk is back with new music.

The new Hi-Jakkk Mixtapes are now available. For orders and bookings call: 0916 697 1268

There are rumors that Beware and Hi-Jakkk have squashed their beef and have reformed Death Threat for a possible 8th album. With Konflick's release of the Kara Krus E.P. and Beware and Hi-Jakkk both throwing verses on Andrew E's lastest album, the streets are definitely talkin'... could the crew that started gangsta rap in the P.I. be back?

Time will tell.

Old Skool Fridays:"Gangsta Foe Life" - Death Threat

http://www.divshare.com/download/6410799-ab0

SS Staff are taking advantage of our free time.. So while our schedule is not that hectic.. we gonna give you another Old Skool Fridays.. and this time we got (Death Threat) Hi-Jakkk - Gloc-9 who is undeniably one of the best and influential rap group that turn into a duo in the history of Philippine's Hip-Hop/Rap scene.. With their Gangsta to Horrorcore style.. they took the country by storm in 1997 through Death Threat's 3rd album "Kings of the Underground" which is technically considered a Hi-Jakkk Gloc-9 album due to the absence of the group's main man "Beware" even though the concept and music is backed by DT and RMK and pics of the group was still on the inlay.. The fans were surprised to this sudden change plus the fact that this is the first appearance of the group's then newest member Gloc-9 who is equipped with the tongue twist style of rapping.. which is a skill that not too many can achieve or acquire at that time... The album contains tracks with subject matter that tackles from Religion, Corrupt Officials, Crime and of course Gangsta Rap where the group is well known off. and it is easily accepted by the listeners specially on the streets where you can hear this album on almost every block playing.. Proof of this is the Gold (or Platinum) record award... and not to mention the style of rapping that Gloc-9 initiated is adopted by a lot of Aspiring or Upcoming Rappers today... Too bad the duo didn't last after Hi-Jakkk Gloc-9 released 2 Domination album (that's on another issue)..Hi-Jakkk released numerous projects under his Apocalypse Records including his "Solo Album", Then Gloc-9 already released 3 albums and receiving commercial success to this day.. I know a lot of us wanting for the DT or H-G9 reunion.. Let's just hope and wait and see what will happen next for the moment lets' just relieved the days and music of one of the best duo that came out here in P.I... Here's "Gangsta Foe Life" !!!

New Album: Revenge Of The Underground -Beware

The long wait is finally over.. Since last year we've been hearing that this is gonna be out and it became available independently or at their gigs.. Now it is officially out in the market.. you can grab a copy @ SM, Odyssey, Puregold, Gaisano mall, M1,EVER and etc.javascript:void(0)

Holy Week Special!! Sum jointz to play this Lenten season

Before the SoulSonic Staff goes on vacation... We gonna leave you somethin for The Holy Week... So quit the hatin for a minute and let's contemplate this Holy week..here's our Lenten Special!

First we gonna give Peter Parkher who is formerly known as Beracah.. He is the first Gospel Rapper here in the country that relased a full gospel album.. (we still havent ripped the beracah album.. so watch out for it here at soulsonic.)


Next is a track from the second album of The Master Rapper "Francis M."


Third is from the Pioneer in Gangsta Rap "Death Threat".. This was included on their sophomore album "Wanted"


For the 4th on we got one of the fastest and talented rapper here in P.I. which is no other than "Mista Blaze".. this one of the best track in his debut album... but my question is where is he ? can we still expect another album from the bizzy bone of P.I. ?


Next we got another old skool rappper.. who is one of the 1st batch artists in dongalo.. but in this album i think they are no longer affiliated with andrew e.'s label...



Lastly here somethin for Easter Sunday.. a track from Mr. Pure Energy "Gary V." "Shout 4 Joy"

The Best Ever Collabos in Pinoy Hip-Hop

Usong-uso ngayon ang mga guesting sa mga kanta. Andyan si Kanye na guest nya si T-pain, si JT at 50 cent, pati na rin Common at Lily Allen. Pero ang na-mimiss namin dito sa Soulsonic ay yung mga collabo ng ibat-ibang artist, na minsan ay classic ang kinalabasan (Mastaplann, Death Threat "Kickin Lyrics") at minsan naman ay sablay ( Gloc-9 at Kiko Machine "Torpedo"). Eto at ki-nompile namen ang para samen ay classic collabos sa pinoy hip-hop, unang-una ay:

*Chill and SVC


-Bagay ang chemistry nila, isang Hip-Hop group meets Hip-Hop Diva. Taken from the 2nd album album, nagkaroon din to ng konting airplay, honestly mas maganda pa cya sa mga foreign rap songs na lumabas kasabay nya. Pero dahil haters ng Opm hiphop ang mga radio stations sa pinas, di masyado nabigyan ng exposure ang collabong ito. but nevertheless, certified hip-hop classic to.













*Mastaplann with South Border "Way of the Plann"

-Marami ang nagulat ng lumabas ang track nato from the 2nd album of Mastaplann. Kumbaga "instant classic" kung tawagin.Di pa kilala ang South Border so masasabi nating malaking break din ang binigay ng MP sa South Border ng time na yun. Kabit na kabit ang falsetto ni Brix Ferraris sa mga ganja verses ni Type and Tracer. even up to now favorite pa rin cya sa parties.











*Proof Positive, DownEarf, Ill-J of SVC, Youngalaxy of PD, Pyro of 7Shots, Dash "Magnificent 7"


-Kung may dream team sa hip-hop nung late 90's ay eto na yun. Classic lahat ang verses ng mga MC's nato, na handpicked ni Dj Arbie Won para maging ultimate posse track sa Recognize album. Kung ang iba ay favorite ang "Loob at Labas" (isa pang posse track from the same album), ako naman ay ito na yun. Lahat ng MC's na kabilang dito ay maituturing na on top of their game, at good chemistry ang nangyari ng pinagsamasama ni Dj Arbie Won ang different Mc's from different camps.



Denmark,Francis M.,Michael V. "Baknthaday"

-Sayang nga lang wala dito si Andrew E., naging supa classic sana tong track na to. This track was taken from the comeback album ni Denmark released a few years back. Kabit na kabit ang beat ni Lowkey sa ol'skool verses ni Denmark and company.Sana ay maulit uli yung ganito, pero kasama na si Andrew E.

Other notable collabos worth mentioning are :
"Kaligtasan" Francis M & Andrew E.
"It's on" Mista Blaze,Gloc9,Slick n Sly kane,Gobas
"Kickin Lyrics" Death Threat, MaddPoets,Chinese Mafia,Oblaxz,IPK.
"Mary jane" Death Threat featuring Janno Gibbs
"Lyrical" Genezide feat. Ali

Sa mga pumalpak naman na collabos andyan ang kanta ng Legit Misfitz at the Dawn sa 1st album nila, na halatang sumakay lang sa kasikatan nun ng Judgment Night album. Pati rin ang D-Coy-Slapshock collabo sa Plastic age album , di rin maganda ang chemistry dahil halatang pilit yung song. Ang kantang "Slam dance" ng El Latino with John Ordonio and Johnny Krush di rin bumagay dahil parang commercial ng zesto ang dating.Pati yung "Bounce to my boogie" ni Mo'Twister and KC montero, katawatawa rin lumabas, pero di natin alam baka talagang sinadya nila na nursery rhmyes ang bagsakan nila.

DREAM COLLLABOS:In the future,we would like to see some more interesting collabos..How about D-Coy featuring Jay-r, or maybe another song from the super group of Mista Blaze, Gloc9, Gobas at Slick n Sly Kane. Bagsik di ba? Til my next segment, stay tuned for more commentaries on pinoy hiphop. DOnt 4get to leave comments and requests. Peace!

Whatever Happened To... : Dj Radikal MK

Radikal MK is one of the Pioneer Turntablist here in the Philippines... He started DJing in the early 90's and became popular as the resident DJ/Producer of the Rap Group Death Threat... Radikal MK did different side projects with other artist... He also competed on the DJ Mixing Championship and became a champ himself.. But after Death Threat's Still Wanted album he goes MIA... Now he can be seen playing with "Hardware Syndrome" (Francis M.'s band)... and according to our source he is currently working as an audio Engineeer for Hit Productions.. A production outfit that specialize on Jingles... So our Question is.. Will he be coming back to the scene and make new hip-hop tracks ?... Like the track that we feature here.. which is "Wreck Dialect" an RMK solo Track from El Latino's sophomore album "Young & Dangerous".. Damn we really hope that he will come back and wreck again the wheels of steel..

Old Skool Fridays: "Fratsta" - Death Threat

Who wouldnt have heard or knew the 1993 Smash Hit "Gusto Kong Bumaet"..from the debut album of the Pioneer in "Gangsta Rap" here in P.I..."Death Threat" !!! which is composed of the founding members Genezide & Beware...This album is filled with Hard-Core tracks that tackles on different subject matters..like "Pesteng Anay" a track that is about AIDS..then "Bantay Salakay" where the group talks about Corrupt Officials in the Goverment... Mastaplann was featured on "Kickin Lyrics" and aside from that...Mastaplann together with Andrew E. & DJ MOD were the Producers of this Album.. But among the tracks that ive mentioned..."Fratsta" is still my Favorite..the track that was made 14 years ago is still up to date...this song is about Fraternity/Gangs's Hazing,Wars & Other negative aspects of it. Perfect example of this is the recent Death of another College Student Chris Mendez who died because of severe injuries caused by violent hazing...R.I.P Chris Mendez..So all you peeps out there listen to this Track... "Fratsta"

Beware Interview !!!

Since '93, One group has been synonymous with everything dark, street, and gangsta with Pinoy Hip-Hop. It's group members have changed many times, adding more and more faces to the arsenal of lyrical thugz, but one thing has remained consistent throughout: their style, from the start, in essence; Pinoy rap with attitude. Sharing a similar back story to another group with "Attitude" from Compton, this rap group is credited for singlehandedly starting the 'Gangsta Rap' genre in the Philippines, and catapulting rap away from its Novelty/Wholesome phase, leading the way for groups such as Ghetto Doggs, Kruzzada & Gulpe de Gulat. It has launched the careers of both the self-proclaimed "King of da Undaground" Hi-Jakkk and the lyrical tongue-twister "Gloc-9". This group is none other than Death Threat.

Founded by Ron "Beware" Salanga and Gerald "Genezide" Acelajado, the group is infamous for being the only rap group to sell Multi-Platinum Albums with nearly no promotion & airplay. With only word of mouth and street credit, Death Threat's "Wanted," "Kings of da Undaground" & "Beware Tha Return" have all gone platinum. In essence, the group is "Undaground rap" personified. But where are they now? It's been five years since the group's latest offering, "Still Wanted" hit Record Bars, and the local rap industry hasn't seen any signs of them since (Besides Occasional guest appearances by Konflick, Phat L or aka Dyablo).

However, The man himself, O.G. Beware, is back in P.I., with a plan to take over once again... hate them or love them, you can't deny their influence and impact on local Hip_Hop, and we recently got the opportunity to sit down with Boss B to talk about the current state of the group, of the local Hiphop industry, and to put a few rumors to rest.

SOL: We're here with the main man himself, O.G. Beware of Death Threat for an indepth look at what makes this pioneer tick. First of all, I'd like to thank Boss B. for taking the time to answer a few questions. First thing's first, back in '93, what inspired you guys to get into rapping? Rap was booming back then, but Gangsta rap was nonexistent. How did you guys think of such a different concept?

BEWARE: Actually, when we started the idea, it was kinda challenging for us because I wasn't sure if Pinoys would accept our music. I knew that if I just thought of the right concept, it might work (That was in '91). It took me some time to think out the whole image of the group... our identity as a whole. I had the foresight of the concept and idea. To be like a Pinoy N.W.A. but with our style and to appeal to Filipino topics & issues (Like Fratsta & Bantay Zalakay). I was really hoping Filipinos would accept Pinoy Hiphop. That was in '92.

SOL: So now you're back after a long absence. What can we expect from Death Threat's new album? Will it be more of the old stuff, or...?

BEWARE: It's really different from my other albums. But what I can say is that I was privileged enough to work with a handful of great musicians. I recorded the album in its entirety (besides Kickin Lyrics 7) in Toronto, Canada. It was a challenging process, because I was also finishing College at the time. I also shot the first single's Music Video, "Palakpakan Everyone," in T.Dot. I was fortunate to work with fellows that have the same amount of respect for the music as I do. People from different parts of the world. Their passion was what inspired me to finish the project.

SOL: Why did you decide to call the album 'Revenge Of Da Undaground'? Will all of Death Threat be in it or will it be a solo effort like the classic "Beware: Tha Return '98"?

BEWARE: It's the comeback of Death Threat. In '97, I proclaimed that we are "The Kings Of The Undaground." This is our revenge, artistically, to take back the artform. That raw, underground sound. This is "The Revenge Of Da Undaground." The idea of it is for the album to come in two discs. Part 1 will be a solo album (mostly), with personal tracks that deal with true to life experiences that I had in Toronto Canada (from '03 to '06). But on Part 2, I will be with the DTG Boiz and some surprise guests... *laughs*

SOL: When can we expect this New Album to Drop?

BEWARE: Hopefully, Disc 1 will be out in most malls and outlets nationwide before the end of September...

SOL: Alright, well, it's no secret that Death Threat is one of the most controversial groups in all of the local Hip-Hop Community. How do you respond to all your critics and naysayers?

BEWARE: Isa lang ang masasabi ko sa mga critics namin... listen to track 15 on Revenge Of Da Undaground. "Wala Akong Pake." Nanjan ang sagot ko sa mga Cute na Critics ko. Hehe...ngayon ko lang talaga kayo binigyang pansin. Pasensya na ha?

SOL: Whatever happened to Genezide & O-Dogg? They were in every album up until "Kasalanan," then he just kinda vanished. Are they still part of the group? Will they be in the new album?

BEWARE: Si Genezide, born-again. Pastor na siya. So in essence, "Gusto kong Bumaet" is especially true to him. Si O-Dogg, nanjan pa din. Nagkikita pa rin kami. Abangan niyo sa susunod na Kickin Lyrics. Sa Disc 2 of "Revenge," it's Death Threat reunited. Halos lahat ng DTG maririnig nyo po ulit.

SOL: We all know that Gloc-9's first studio album(s) were with Death Threat. How do you feel about Gloc-9's current popularity? Is he still with the group?

BEWARE: I will always be proud of my Protege. He will always be my brother in Death Threat... whatever he becomes, I'll always be behind him. When we say "Death Threat for life" on that song, we mean it. Di Matitibag.

SOL: Okay, on that note. Time to get to the truth behind one of the most controversial Beefs in the local rap industry. What exactly happened to start the Beef with Hi-Jakkk ? Why was he let back in the group for "Still Wanted" even after "Walang Utang Na Loob?"

BEWARE: To this date he is no longer affiliated with Death Threat. He Backstabbed me. Not only me, but the whole group. It's a really long story, and you can hear bits and pieces of it on the street or wherever, but to cut the long story short, he is a traidor, a thief, a snake, and a backstabbin-ass bitch. Fuck Hi-Jakkkol.

SOL: Whatever happened to 2High & Half Ounce?

BEWARE: One of the members of 2High, Lil Kiko, is still in Sacramento (where we recorded "Beware Tha Return"). He'll be coming back home soon. Terra/Gobas is currently working in a stable company in P.I. He's on some cuts with Gloc. Half Ounce, I don't get to talk to anymore, but he's still mah boi.

SOL: The local Hip-Hop industry right now is kind of nonexistant. What do you think the future will bring for pinoy rap and what role do you think Death Threat will play?

BEWARE: The usual. Bringin' new material to the streets, for the streets.

SOL: Okay, something that's never been asked before. Who did you grow up listening to? Both locally or internationally. Who are Beware's influences?

BEWARE: Internationally... Westcoast! 2pac, Ice Cube, Undaground Ish and all... I really listen to all kinds... I'm open minded when it comes to music... as long as it's good, it's all good! Locally, mah homeboys Francis M., Andrew E. and Mastaplann... that's all.

SOL: Who are you favorites in the game right now? Both locally and internationally.

BEWARE: Can't say. They all sound the same these days.

SOL: Is it true that you really wrote all of "Beware: Tha Return" behind bars? How was that experience? Did you find it easier or harder?

BEWARE: I didn't write it behind bars. It was actually my inspiration not to get locked up again after all my past troubles. I was locked up for sometime, but I didn't write the album when I was inside.

SOL: I heard that 'Revenge Of Da Undaground' is supposedly going to be your last album. Is that true?

BEWARE: Maybe...

SOL: What do you think of the music industry in the Philippines as a whole? Lots of people seem to have given up hope. What's your message to all the pirates out there?

BEWARE: Y'all know my stand on that. Fuck Piracy! Fight Unauthorized Copies. You can see that label on all of my new albums. We make quality music, pirates steal the profit, then what do we have? Why would we wanna put out any new ish? Mga Taong Abuzado!

SOL: Let's talk about "There's No Hip-Hop in the Philippines." Your take?

BEWARE: You can look at this issue on a couple of different angles. On one point-of-view, there could be no Hip-Hop in the Philippines, but if you ask me, I think we definitely have a Hiphop culture here. The only problem is that it's NOT UNITED. Actually, it's divided, which is the sad part. But what the hell, basta kami, united. Lahat ng DTG, buong Pilipinas na nakikinig sa musika ng DTG, at sa lahat ng thugz, hustlas and gangstaz, sold parin kami! Salamatz po sa inyong lahat.

SOL: Apokalipsis is hot right now. How did you discover them and when can we expect their second album to hit stores?

BEWARE: Well... they've been ma boiz for awhile, of course they're hot. *laughs* Not sure when the album's gonna drop, but fo' sure you'll be hearing more from the mreal soon.

SOL: What's your favourite track from 'Revenge Of Da Undaground?'

BEWARE: "Aztig!"

SOL: What's your favourite Death Threat track out of all the albums you guys put out? Which one did you enjoy doing so much?

BEWARE: Definitely "Gusto Kong Bumaet," because from the time I wrote it back in '92 to this day when I rap it in concerts, it still relates to my fellow listeners. One love.

SOL: Lastly, got any previews of the rest of 2007 or even 2008? What products have you guys got under your sleeves? Any hot albums about to drop?

BEWARE: Watch out for our new ish coming out soon. Merchandize and all that po. All DT's latest ish will be found on www.PinoyPrideWorldwide.com. Thank You sa lahat, at respect sa SoulSonic... peace.

SOL: Once again, thank you for your time. Death Threat in the house! It's been a pleasure to interview one of the cornerstones and pioneers of local Hip-Hop.
