Mark Oblea

Singer-songwriter Mark Oblea is back with a new sound with his latest single 'Ain't It Lovely.'

Ain't It Lovely delves further into Oblea's exploration of the alternative pop genre, being a love song that features more of a folk sound than his previous outings. His rendition of Paraluman's classic song 'Tabi' has garnered over 3.7 million plays on the streaming platform Spotify.

Talking more about the song, which is written and produced by fellow Universal Records artist Fern., he says "I've always wanted to do a song such as this - one that gives off an indie romantic vibe. And at the same time, I want to offer something new to my listeners, as I explore new vocal styles and with this being my first original English track."

Ain't It Lovely is certainly not a track to miss, with its romantic vibe and a sound that will resonate with today's generation.

The track is now available to stream and download on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, and Amazon Music under Universal Records.

syd hartha takes pro-women stand on new single 'ayaw'

Syd Hartha

Upcoming singer-songwriter syd hartha breaks out from the mold with the release of her new single, "ayaw."

Known for her intricate folk-pop sketches and disarming vocals, the 17-year-old artist  takes a step back from her confessional musings to affirm her stand against sexual harassment and abuse towards women in general.

The empowering number, which syd hartha wrote as a reminder for people to respect boundaries, delivers an inspiring message that puts into light the importance of consent. "It is undeniable that sexual harassment continues to be a prevalent issue that we face today," syd hartha points out. "I feel for the victims of catcalling and rape, and understand how hard it is to talk about their experience. As a musician who some people look up to, I know I have to use my voice in behalf of all the victims and survivors. This inspired me to write ayaw."

A well-conceived effort that embraces her newfound strength as a singer-songwriter, "ayaw" suggests lyrical confidence and maturity that's beyond her age. Production-wise, it's her most sonically adventurous release to date: an excursion to a more bluesy territory, a more organic vibe that gives her personality the spunk and edge it needs.

"ayaw" is syd hartha's third single, and her first official release under Sony Music Philippines. The song is now available on streaming and download platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes store and Deezer.

Performed by Nicki Minaj

Uh

R.I.P. to B.I.G
Classic shit

I’m looking for a nigga to give some babies
A hand full of Weezy, sprinkle of Dave East
Man, I ain’t got no type, like Jxmmi and Swae Lees
But if he can’t fuck three times a night, peace
I tried to fuck 50 for a powerful hour
But all the nigga wanna do is talk Power for hours
Beat the pussy up, make sure it’s a K-O
Step your banks up like you’re moving that ya-yo
Somebody go and make sure Karrueche okay though
I heard she think I’m tryna give the coochie to Quavo
They always wanna beat it up, goon up the pussy
Man, maybe I should let him autotune up the pussy
All these Bow Wow challenge niggas lying and shit
Man, these Fetty Wap niggas stay eyeing my shit
Drake worth a hundred milli, always buying me shit
But I don’t know if the pussy wet or if he crying and shit
Meek still be in my DMs, I be having to duck him
“I used to pray for times like this”
Face ass when I fuck him
Man, Uzi is my baby, he ain’t takin’ an L
But he took it literally when I said, “Go to hell”
Used to fuck with Young Thug, I ain’t addressing this shit
C-c-caught him in my dressing room, stealing dresses and shit
I used to give this nigga with a lisp testers and shit
How you want the pu-thy? Can’t say your Ss and shit

Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying

I remember when I used to have a crush on Special Ed
Shoutout Desiigner, ’cause he made it out of special ed
You wanna fuck me, you gotta give some special head
‘Cause this pussy had these niggas on some special meds
Like Mike Tyson, he was biting my shit
Talking ’bout, “Yo, why you got these niggas fighting and shit?”
On the real, I should make these niggas scrap for the pussy
Young M.A. and Lady Luck, get the strap for this pussy, uh
And I would’ve had Odell Beckham banging the cake
‘Til I saw him hopping out of cars dancing to Drake
I been a five-star bitch, man, word to Gotti
I’ma do that nigga Future dirty, word to Scotty
Had to cancel DJ Khaled, boy, we ain’t speaking
Ain’t no fat nigga telling me what he ain’t eating
YG and The Game with the hammer yelling, “Gang, gang”
This ain’t what I meant when I said a gang bang
Tekashi want a ménage, I said tre-way
Curved him and went the Kim and Kanye way
Em, cop the Barbie Dreamhouse then you can play the part
I ain’t tryna bust it open in the trailer park

Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I’m just playing, but I’m saying

You know I’m all about them dollars

I go around and around and I’ma go down in slow motion
Then I pick it up, look at it

Yellow brick road, he said that I am a wiz at it
Yeah, they want it, want it
You know I flaunt it, flaunt it

Sabrina Carpenter Teams Up with Shanti Dope in "Almost Love"

American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter has teamed up with Philippines' very own new generation rapper-songwriter, Shanti Dope. "Almost Love" by Sabrina Carpenter featuring Shanti Dope is now available in all digital and streaming providersHERE. Exclusively distributed in the Philippines by MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) through Hollywood Records. 

Adding to the Asian flavor of Sabrina Carpenter's latest single, "Almost Love," is a unique collaboration with 17-year old, Sean Patrick Ramos aka Shanti Dope. “Almost Love” is the first single off Sabrina’s highly-anticipated third studio album Singular, coming later this year. Produced by Stargate, Sabrina Carpenter co-wrote “Almost Love” alongside Mikkel Eriksen, Nate Campany, and Steph Jones. Providing a fresh take on the single, Filipino rap genius Shanti Dope not only features on the track but also composed the rap verses in a truly 'Tatak Pinoy' style.

“It’s falling for someone and knowing that you’re inches away from love. It either has a happy ending, or no ending at all,” Sabrina tells Inquirer Super in a recent interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer. “It was very easy to write because in these young years of our lives they always say you lose people along the way, sometimes for no reason other than they were meant to teach you a lesson, and some of those are definitely ‘almost lovers,’” she adds.

Moreover, Sabrina Carpenter is set to take the spotlight this August for a series of tours in the Philippines to promote her brand new single, “Almost Love.” The 19-year-old American singer-songwriter and Disney Teen Star is behind the international chart-topping singles, “Why,” “Thumbs,” and most recently, Billboard Dance Club’s No. 1 Song “Alien” featuring multi-platinum selling UK DJ/Producer/Songwriter, Jonas Blue.

Verse:

Nung araw kay tamis ng ating buhay

Puno ng saya at ng kulay

Di mauulit muli

Ang oras kapag hinayaang lumipas

Madarama mo hanggang bukas

Di mababawi muli

Chorus:

Ang dami daming bagay na hindi naman kailangan

Kung pwede lang bawasan natin ang mga tampuhan

Hindi mo lang alam hindi mo pa nararanasan

Kahapon sana natin di mo na pinahirapan

Patawad muli

Di na muli

Verse:

Ang oras kapag hinayaang lumipas

Madarama mo hanggang bukas

Di mababawi muli

(Instrumental)

Bridge:

At natapos ang himas ng sandal

Di kukubli aking tinig

Nang lumipas na't di man lang nasabi

Salamat hanggang sa muli

Chorus:

Ang dami daming bagay na hindi naman kailangan

Kung pwede lang bawasan natin ang mga tampuhan

Hindi mo lang alam hindi mo pa nararanasan

Kahapon sana natin di mo na pinahirapan

Patawad muli

Di na muli

Binawi buhay mo ng walang sabi

Binubulong ko sa sarili

Mahal kita hanggang sa huli

Mahal ko hanggang sa huli
