It's been a while since we feature something on DIYES, this time we feature one of my personal favorite group JUAN THUGS, Inozent One (Esteban Pusakal), Blingzy One (Jimmy boy Lagarto), part of 187 Mobstaz group, kilala most likely because they sounded like Bone Thugs, ang group na nagpasikat ng Kantang "Momay", "Bakit ngayon ka lang" and many more. Isa sa mga versatile group that can do both hardcore and love songs without losing the quality, their unique style is almost known to many local hiphop fans, to learn more visit our PHS card about them: http://www.pinoyhiphopsuperstar.com/j...

Isa sa mga artist na hindi ko pa nakakausap at nakikilala ng personal ay
si sir KIAL, pero kahit ganun may respeto ako sa kanya dahil narin siguro
sa ibang style ginagamit nya, mga malalamim na salita at ibang word play.
sadly hindi ako ang nakapalitan nya ng interview but my partner in crime Asha
ano nga bang napag usapan nila ni Lady PHS? basa basa below: - PHS
ASHA: Why do you chose your A.K.A? What does it mean? KIAL:Kasi halos lahat ng kakilala ko noon ang hahaba ng alyas, yung iba may numero sa gitna at dulo, ang hihirap bigkasin kaya nag-isip ako ng madali lang. KIAL, pinaikling Kid from Almario. Almario, kinalakihan kong lugar sa Delpan, Tondo.
ASHA: How did you get started with Hip-Hop? Do you think this genre will last or will people get tired of it?
KIAL: Nagsimula ako '97, nakapakinig ako ng rap, tuloy-tuloy na 'yun, nagkaro'n ako ng kaalaman, nahiligan ko at minahal. Walang hanggan ang musika at ang rap ay musika. Kung lulubog man ay lilitaw pa din dahil nand'yan lang 'yan.
ASHA: Who were your music influences? KIAL: Michael Jackson and many more
ASHA: What hip-hop albums did you grow up listening to? KIAL: The Score ng The Fugees, Greatest Hits ni Tupac, Temple of Boom, IV at Stoned Raiders ng Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Forever at Iron Flag ng WTC, World Domination ng T6M, Art of War ng BTNH, Absolute Power ni Tech N9ne and many more
ASHA: What would be your dream collaboration with any rapper or producer?
KIAL: Ang Collabo ng ShockRa at Tech N9ne, Napanaginipan ko. Totoo.
ASHA: Since there are so many great Street Hip Hoppers, what determines who gets to the top? So, what are your thoughts on the current state of the game?
KIAL: Wag mahiyang ipakita ang talento at ipakita ang talento sa maayos na paraan, maging aktibo, maghintay ng pagkakataon at tamang oras at maging totoo sa pakikisama. Kung mabuti ka at may husay ka talaga, mapapansin ka at iaangat ka nila.
ASHA: How do you separate yourself from other artists? KIAL: Ako'y ako at sa paggawa, binibigay ko kung ano ang kailangan hindi 'yung kung ano lang ang gusto.
ASHA: What do you usually do aside from Writing Songs and being a Rapper? KIAL: Ako'y isang Editorial Cartoonist sa isang Tabloid, ginuguhit ang tunay na imahe ng mundo. Pag may libreng oras, nagbibisekleta, minsan nagbabasketball at madalas magpalamig sa Esem. Ako'y ama ng aking nag-iisang anak.
ASHA: What will they (Your Fans/ Supporter) expect from you? this year? KIAL: Music Video ng bago kong kantang may pamagat na "P" bahagi ng ginagawa kong album na bago.

yr 2012 napabilang ako sa allstar ng 187mobstaz at music video nA we don’t die we multiply or wddwm AT mas lalo akong nakilala ng mga tao…
well IM NOT saying that every rapper should have the same style
or that every rapper should do double time, triple time (or anything thing
they wanna call it)
it's a style, syempre iba parin yung Naiintindihan ung rap mo,
but when "RAP" comes into my mind
the first thing that i(MINE ha) think of, is fast words.
anyways enough of the nonsense intro and let me introduce to you to pinoy's hiphop fastest tongue.
btw, instead of describing their style one by one(which im not good at)
i will add videos of them doing
what they do best.
SPECIAL MENTION:
* SHOCKRA * TREYNUCKA-9 * 187 MOBSTAZ
* MALABON THUGS * JUAN THUGS * NEGATIBO
