In Dumaguete City, Philippines, Brown Poetics is reshaping the hip hop scene with their distinctive West Coast, G-Funk flair. Formed by Sick P and Marv, once known as B-Slim, their collaboration since 2010 has blended passion and innovation, securing their place in the rich tapestry of Filipino music.

Their musical alliance was sparked by a mutual love for hip hop, leading to an unforgettable performance at a company’s Christmas party. This pivotal moment not only showcased their synergy but also highlighted their potential to leave a significant mark on the hip hop industry. It was their combined talents and shared vision that set them on a path of creative exploration, pushing the boundaries of the genre and crafting a sound that was truly their own.

The turning point in their musical journey came in 2016, with their collaboration with Laidback Sounds, a West Coast producer based in Europe. This partnership was instrumental in refining their sound, marrying the laid-back, funky rhythms of G-Funk with their unique lyrical perspective and the cultural richness of the Philippines. This fusion has not only defined their musical identity but also introduced a new sound to the Philippine music scene, bridging gaps between cultures and generations.

Today, Brown Poetics stands as a beacon of innovation in the Philippine hip hop community. Their dedication to authenticity and their pioneering approach to music have inspired a new wave of artists across the nation. As they continue to explore and evolve, their music serves as a powerful reminder of hip hop’s ability to transcend boundaries, connect diverse cultures, and express the universal human experience.
