Get ready to dive into the thrilling world of Filipino underground music! It’s not just about small gigs anymore; it’s a movement that’s shaking the entire OPM scene from the streets to the grand concert grounds.
Every big OPM artist you know, they started somewhere. Some of them were hidden in the shadows before they lit up the stage and became stars. It’s a tale of rising from the rough, and it all comes back to Rekta sa Kalye’s humble beginnings. A gang of underground artists came together out of pure love for local hip-hop, and they set the stage on fire.
Back in 2017, Rekta sa Kalye was just a tiny spark in the bustling streets of Edsa. But it didn’t stay small for long. It spread like wildfire across Metro Manila, uniting artists with a shared passion for underground hip-hop. It even reached beyond the city limits, connecting with artists from all around. It all started with streetwear shops, barber shops, and spontaneous performances, leading them to dance floors, fiestas, and bar events.
But that’s not all – Rekta sa Kalye took their act to the streets, surprising people at train stations, making music with portable speakers, and worn-out instruments. A group of underrated artists, they were, but they had big dreams for the hip-hop scene.
And guess what? The likes of Al James, Because, Just Hush, and Kiyo began their journey at Rekta sa Kalye’s busking sessions. These artists started small, but now they’re shining on the grand stage. Even rap legend Gloc9 joined the Rekta sa Kalye journey from the start.
Fast forward, Rekta sa Kalye is leveling up, moving from the streets to a bigger stage. It’s a dream come true for friends who started as buskers and are now on a mission to reach more people through music.
The party’s getting even bigger this November at the Rekta sa Kalye Music Festival. We’re talking 30,000 music lovers coming together for a fusion of Filipino Music – mainstream, hip-hop, and rising stars.
