"Tao Po" EP by DJ Baliwatmay Zaltic

Laguna-based artist DJ Baliwatmay Zaltic just released his debut EP - Tao Po! Each song in the collection talks about numerous issues that the country is facing - indifference and fatigue in Pong and Dagul, blind fanaticism in Solid Hanggang Mamatay, privilege in WFH, EJK in Balitanghali, and discriminate violence in Mga Kapitbahay. The combination of storytelling and beats could have had a more impactful effect had the music been complimentary or in service of the spoken-word delivery. Though the prose poetry is compelling, the house-type beats don't delivery the oomph that could have made the package better. Overall, the project is a good start and has the potential to revel in any social movement.
