Kwento Ni Toto is just lucky to be in the event where Abra and the Raymund Marasigan joins together in making new ways of getting close friends together and the tradition of that friendship in this era, and unlucky for not having a good camera for their shot and of course a shot with them as well.

"Wala Pang Titulo" or "No Title Yet" is a debut EP of Ron Henley.  So why don't we put a title to it?  Well it is the title already and according to Ron Henley himself when asked, he'll just instantly say "None Yet".  Title or not Kwento Ni Toto brings this EP to the public and to the readers and hopefully if Ron Henley will agree will get the readers to ask to what title they think would go with this EP.  It's quite a playful title to have for a music and for a blog post.

Ron Henley have this EP as his debut but he is no newbie in industry.  He started is rapping at the age of 14 and met fellow rapper Loonie who shared the same liking for Eminem's music but basically I hear an influence of the master rapper.  Ron and Loonie formed a group called Stick Figgas and joined the 'Rap-public of the Philippines' contest in the noontime show Eat Bulaga and where they met their idol none other than the Philippines' master rapper FrancisM.  The late rapper took them under his wings and made them a part of the contest's compilation album.   Ron and Loonie eventually explored going solo but still maintaining the group.  the first two sings he wrote were "Suicide Note" and "Nandito Lang Ako" in 2006 which was included in "Critical Condition" album followed by "Kwentong Barbero" in 2008 and "Biglang Liko" in 2010.  It was through the song "Biglang Liko," which has currently more than 11 million hits on YouTube, made the executives of multi-national label MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) take notice of this talented artist.

If anyone knows John Rendez then perhaps those who are in the 90's and don't ask how old is Toto of Kwento Ni toto.  Back into rap again as this rap artist and composer aims to share his music in the industry once more.  After returning August 2011, this 42 year old rapper, composer and actor planned his way through the music industry with his rap compositions and of course singing them for the listeners.

It took him exactly a year to finish the new all-rap album, from conceptualizing the type and quality of its contents, to composing the new rap songs, to deciding on some "updates" to his previous compositions.

Everything fell into place and on October 1 last year, John Rendez, together with Ms. Nora Aunor, his long-time friend and now business manager, has inked a distribution deal with PolyEast Records for the release of the new John Rendez CD album, titled "Metaldog"/"There Can Only Be One".

Very bad of me that I missed sharing this information about this two rap artists and take note this two are certified Rap Artists. This two are the most popular artists in the Fliptop scene. As MCA Music beefs up with its OPM label, Loonie and Ron Henley are good addition to their roster of top local acts. These includes Nyoy Volante, Urbandub, Sabrina, Pupil, Solenn Heussaff, Franco, Barbie Forteza, Chicosci, The Oktaves, Tanya Markova and Pedicab. Its international acts comprised of U2, Psy, Snow Patrol, Keane, Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, Paul McCartney, Lionel Richie, Gotye, Rihanna, Sting, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Jessie J among others.

Gloc-9's rapping style has won the ears of the masses and now with his newest album entitled Mga Kwento Ng Makata or MKNM he has won the respect of gay people with one of his song "Sirena". Last Sunday during the show of Vice Ganda, Gandang Gabi Vice, Gloc-9 was praised and thanked for coming up with a song like 'Sirena'. Yes, this was the first time that a song was created in a first person point of view. According to Gloc-9 himself “I think this is the first time that a song about a gay man is presented in a first person’s point of view,” “I worked very hard on this song for it not to be offending to anyone.”

During my teenage life I was really into raps. Thanks to Francis M. for the introduction of Philippine rap and later on with Andrew E. whom both I look onto with regards to that craft. I remember also that I did try to do some rap lyrics during my free time before. I think rap doesn't look into what age you are but how you love the style and the craft. So for now, since I really like different kind of music, I will take the chance of hearing a rap battle. Here's what it is all about...
