Young artist Robledo Timido, the rapper behind the viral songs “Gusto Ko Sakin Ka Lang” (47 million streams on Spotify) and  “Mapagdamot” (29 million streams), recently shared his perspective on the current state of hip-hop, especially for newcomers like him.

“Masasabi ko sa hiphop ngayon, sobrang lakas, kumpara mo sa dati. ‘Yung mga artist ngayon nag-eexplore ng bagong tunog palabas na sa hip-hop. Hindi sila stagnant sa isang genre lang,” he said in an interview with select members of the press.

Timido said that he wants to contribute to the industry by staying true to his unique style and voice.

“Mahanap mo talaga ‘yung purpose mo. Syempre gusto ko makapag-ambag sa music industry na hindi lang ako ordinaryong rapper o artist na makikita niyo. Gusto ko makapag-ambag sa industriya na ako naman ‘yung makakapagset ng bar o standards,” he stated.

“Gusto ko maging reminder sa audience ko na ako ay nagiging ako lang. Kung ano man ‘yung tingin niyo sa music ko, kung ano man ‘yung napaparamdaman sainyo ng music ko sana nasa mabuting side. Nakakadagdag ng impact sa buhay nila o nakakabuhay ng loob,” he remarked.

(I want to serve as a reminder to my audience that I am just being me. Whatever you think of my music, whatever my music makes you feel, I hope it’s on the good side. It adds impact to their lives or makes them feel alive.)

Timido recently released his first full album, “Salbahe,” which includes the songs “Kasunduan,” “Proseso,” “Laging Tag-ulan,” and “Kamusta,” among others.
