Filipino hip hop artists Lord Sid Valera (aka Audio Rebel) and Andrew Neri (aka B3werdna) will be putting out their split album on vinyl titled “B3AR B3 x Audio Rebel” this coming November.
That album, released by Digmador Records, will hold the distinction of being the first independently released hip hop album put out locally since the 1990s.
Side A features six chill out tracks from B3werdna, while Side B has five suave instrumentals from Audio Rebel. All the tracks are an amalgam of the music of their youth from hip hop, jazz, dub, alternative rock, and instrumental music.
“B3AR B3 x Audio Rebel” is literally a do-it-yourself album. Both artists funded the vinyl itself and commissioned the artwork based on their vision.
