An old recording over a simple beat I made last year. It was one of the first times tried my new mic after releasing Antwerp (which was recorded on a phone), and it was also the first time got my hands dirty on some vocal mixing (which I had barely done before). I dug it up, re-mixed and remastered it.

CHLORINE FREESTYLE, 2021

Oozing with youthful energy, Bryle Santiago’s BACKPACKRAP is an ultimate embrace to his freshly amateur and vividly boyish nature. He references his vast inspirations, from André 3000 to Danny Brown, and his motivating factors, such as theneedledrop’s review on one of his songs, as a fuel to his ever growing fire of passion in his music. This new track bears rugged, yet very catchy gang vocals, mixed with a sonic blend of boxy drums, slick percussions, a groovy bass riff, and some ear-catching and soulful piano chops. BACKPACKRAP is Bryle Santiago’s latest offering of a more unique and refreshing soundscape to the local rap/hip-hop scene in the Philippines.

(LYRICS)
Heads over heels like I missed a fit
I'm a misfit like they say I am
I missed fits like double damn
I doubled down, I overdid
I'm over it, no mobile 1
Packaged on, my own one
Wanted on my feet like Mastodon
Make it run, make it reel
My boots take on open wheels
Jokes on you, the review's real
Got criticised, felt better since
Take it, leave it, let it be
My letterman's leather B
Patched up my music, man
Give the credits when it's due
I owe no one but the truth
I'll show them what my world like
You know how I tell it, right?
You know how I tell it right?

[Hook]
Left the hotel, wholesale, double tap
my doorstep, zip it up backpack rap
zip it up backpack rap
Aye!
See me and my snap back
See me and my energy
I got my own plaque
like backpack rap
Aye!
like backpack
Aw!

[Verse]
My cards on deck, my club is seven
September seventh, I'm hands on
Not a C-Section, I'm anthropod
I gave a nod to my uncle
his name is Andre Benjamin
Def not biting him
Brightest in my feet
I breakdance
Danny Brown beat
I beat the heat
I keep cool
'Cause I'm not hot (what?)
Lazy chairs
and electric fans
Filipino summer, on the bands
Ribbed tank top
I say don't stop

[Hook]
Left the hotel, wholesale, double tap
my doorstep, zip it up backpack rap
zip it up backpack rap
Aye!
See me and my snap back
See me and my energy
I got my own plaque
like backpack rap
Aye!
like backpack
Aw!

Featuring his most extreme lyricism, from calling out the Philippine music industry to the tightly knit grit of embracing his sound. RIGID! WHO'S NEXT? is hard to pin down, but very exciting to dive into.

RIGID! WHO'S NEXT? was written, produced, performed, mixed, and mastered by Bryle Santiago.

WHO'S NEXT?

RIGID!

exercise 01: sandman

Catch a spring
Fools april fools gold
Wings on wings
Car crash on a road
Catch a box
Bodied on an equinox
Which one has passed
Punk rocks or deadstocks 

Blame it on you
Full stack on proof
Poof! Marry time by maritime dues
Time is watching
Springing back on the news
The quicker your up
The faster you loose 

[Hook]
Side road, dirty wheels, you have on
Golden times, shiny ties, you have it all
But when the sandman calls on the break of dawn
Remember the loops you have been on
On and on 

When you break your strings
Jumping up rock n roll
Boston, Massachusetts
But the accent is false
Acting so new york
Attitude uncalled
Acting too cringe
Old rich, steady fall
Missed all doors
Left unopened
Wished all you
Played ball open
Kissed all asses
Thinking theyre coaching
But leave the room
Ego is poached
Expired perfume 

[Hook]

"Sounds Like" is a candid and introspective track that explores the darker side of ego and insecurity. With honesty and vulnerability, I delve into the struggles of tearing others down in order to feel better about myself, ultimately leading to a creative dip. The song takes you on a journey of self-discovery and renewal, as the artist emerges from this challenging time with a newfound sense of perspective and creativity. Through a captivating blend of clear-cut lyrics, spicy dance beats, and organic instrumentation, "Sounds Like" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has grappled with their own inner demons and come out the other side stronger.
