\nFilipino rap trio Owfuck returns with \u201cNakatingala\u201d (Looking Up), their first standalone single of the year, featuring Colt on the hook.<\/p>\n

Diaristic and reflective, \u201cNakatingala\u201d tells us how the end of innocence feels inevitable but still jarringly abrupt. Paul Cassimir, Astro, and Lexus take turns as capable storytellers who opt for aphorisms to delve into growing pains. Lines like \u201cHuwag piliing mawala \/ Kung gusto mo lang masagip\u201d<\/em> (Don\u2019t choose to get lost \/ If you only want to be saved) carry great weight, not to mention highly relatable.<\/p>\n

Pinoy rap stands on its own due to its great emphasis on and adherence to a traditionalist premium on lyrical mastery (it\u2019s a prime reason why FlipTop remains an innovative force in the local hip hop community). Its culture has deep ties to the streets and their assigned prophets.<\/p>\n

Owfuck\u2019s ruminative new single demonstrates how personal and societal struggles within the context of success\u2014a theme<\/a> that runs deep in hip hop\u2014can just be as powerful.<\/p>\n
