2010, MOMENTUM SHIFT. Here's an album that's been highly anticipated for the past 5 years. I don't care which part of the world you're from but if you say you a Pinoy hiphop fan - Loonie is that dude. I have locked this album on my player for the past few days and sitting on this news has made me almost go crazy here in Singapore. So today, me and my good friend is letting this one go. Eventhough I was never part of the makings of this album, I dedicate this entry to all my new school colleagues Los Indios Bravoz, Stick Figgas, Mike Swift, Turbulence, Audible, AMPON, Miscellaneous, Same Team, Datu and Team Firm. We've come along way and we've relied on each others energy to push our brand of hiphop into the scene. Congratulations to us! Know our legacy is of different relevance and will shine through no matter what, deal or no deal.
Loonie's album is packed with thought, momentum, story, depth and relevance all punctuated with rhymes and delivery you have never heard before in ANY OPM HIPHOP ACT. The INTRO alone sets up the two sided thought process behind the album title. Songs like The Bobo Song, Quinta, Walang Babala are easy favorites. The guests artists and MC's in this album where well picked. Hi C, Dice, Konflick, Tuff, Gloc 9, Rhyxodus, God's Will, Mike Kosa, JSkeelz, Toney Chrome, Nimbusnine, Mikkeraphone, Ron Henley and Klumcee trade bars with Loonie throughout the album in a careful balance of brilliance and integrity. Soundscapes provided by monster producers The Beatmonx - doing most of the beats; CH and Jaytek. It won't be a Loonie album if it didn't stir up jokes and controversy. From calling out other local MC's on songs to an MC Battle skit to that recorded phone call from an irate woman.
This album is the closest I've heard to a true depiction to our strength, struggles and reflection as new age hiphop artists in Pinas. There are alot of gems in this album, I dare you not to like it, really I dare you. This album is brought to you by 6000 Goonz, Clay Shop, 10th St. Manila, WeLegendary x SPECKS and WIPCAPS.
We are giving this album for free download, we also included the lyrics to some of the songs, a bonus track that features Francis Magalona produced by Chrizo and a letter to the fans.

Some of these links will lead you to the album, some well -- we're trying to get paid too, so click away. Time to bomb the world.
