    TOPIC: Activism in Philippine HipHop Music

    Thesis Statement: Activism is a collective effort to liberate, transform, and empower a social change in
    the society. Given music as a form of universal language brings out the freedom of protest one can think
    of. Nowadays, Filipino hip hop artists such as Uprising and Stick Figgas have used this medium to protest
    against various social injustices. The killings of thousands under Duterte’s controversial war on drugs
    sparked the rise of hiphop music primarily focused on criticizing the administration.

    Artist Groups:

    1. Uprising

    Uprising is an independent music (hip hop) label and management company founded by Ryan “Jus Rye”
    Armamento and Anygma a.k.a. Alaric Yuson based in Manila, Philippines. Most of the guys involved in
    Uprising either work or are involved with FlipTop as well.
    According to Alfred Yuson, the songs from their 2013 album was very distinctive. “There is anger, there is
    the constant cry against social injustice, there is the revelatory cognizance of irony and assorted ills in the
    “Philippine condition.” The inherent power of some lines is downright remarkable, and may well lead to
    further enrichment of Filipino versification.”

    2. Stick Figgas

    Stick Figgas is made up of some of the biggest names in Pinoy pop music. Originally, these were rappers
    Loonie and Ron Henley who formed the group while they were high school students. The name Stick
    Figgas was inspired by their then “stick figures.”
