   Ahon 13 has come and gone and what a wild experience it was! We won’t be talking about the mishaps on day 2, since Anygma has already issued a statement about it on his Facebook page. Nevertheless, to those who had an unfortunate experience, we hope you’re all feeling better now. We’re sure it won’t happen again.

   Now, for the battles, there’s no denying that almost every single one delivered. It actually took us three days to choose the matches that really stood out. The emcees stepped their game up and proved why Ahon is a must-see spectacle. So, without further ado, let’s talk about the best bouts from days 1 and 2 of Ahon Keep in mind that this is only our opinion. If you disagree, don’t hesitate to share your own thoughts in the comments section.

Day 1:

   People are expecting a lyrical war from GL and Marshall Bonifacio, and they brought it! It was far from a one-sided showdown. Say what you want about Marshall’s previous performances, but he will certainly silence a lot of haters here. His angles are effective, and his metaphors and punchlines are some of the best we’ve heard from him so far. Obviously, GL also gave a top-tier performance. He once again showcased his complex writing combined with his often unpredictable flow. It’s always a treat witnessing his rap skills live. There may be countless debates regarding the result of this match. 

   The return of Abra and EJ Power wasn’t a fluke! They deserved to be in the main event. Abra was ruthless all throughout, maintaining the raw aggression that he displayed during his Isabuhay run. Content-wise, his multis remain intricate and mind-blowing and his punches are much more hard-hitting now. After five years, EJ Power still has the ability to blend witty jokes and heavy bars. His well-round

Pinoys and Battle Rap: Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo As I write this essay, two controversial events have rocked the hip-hop world. The first is the arrest of Marlon ‘Loonie’ Peroramas, popularly known as ‘Hari ng Tugma,’ in what police authorities claimed was a buy-bust drug operation in Makati City last September 18, 1 The second is the fatal shooting of John Ross ‘Lil John’ de los Santos last October 20, , in Imus, Cavite. Both rappers established their fame via FlipTop, the short and popular term for FlipTop: First Filipino Rap Battle League, founded and established in by Alaric ‘Anygma’ Yuson2 and Kevin Vea 3 aka DJ Umph One 4. In the nine years of FlipTop, battle emcees who have graced its stage have gone on to carve out successful music careers, something that Anygma staunchly believes is the end-all and purpose of battle leagues. He insists that battle rap in general, and FlipTop battling in particular, is merely the exhibition match that showcases the rap skills of the emcees and music that rappers create is the championship game. 5 1 ‘FlipTop Rapper Loonie Nabbed by Makati Cops in Buy-Bust’. According to several interviews published online, Anygma is widely recognised as the founder and CEO of FlipTop, where he acknowledges this to be the case, but also mentions that it was he and Kevin Vea (aka DJ Umph of Mighty Miscellaneous) who co-founded FlipTop.
