The Pick: Loonie versus Dizaster

(Author's note: Will update this post soon)

It was the very main event of that night. The dream was turned into a reality on that fateful night of April 9, 2013 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. One of the nation’s famous rap battling guy from Cebu was up against one of the most popular underground battle rappers in the world.

It was Loonie versus Dizaster, in all that of three one-minute rounds in that very final act of the night. And all I can say is that there’s no such thing as “home court advantage” there. Everyone who witnessed the Araneta Dreams may say that it was one hell of a battle. It was taped and recorded, too and already out at its YouTube channel sunuganpro.

I’d let you guys be the judge though.

When The Dream For The Philippine Hip-Hop Turned Real.

Who would have thought that a dream like this will turn into reality? Yes, perhaps a lot of people will not take this thing seriously unless it is already stated on the papers and works on the internet. Well, gues what? It was written, already.

I used to spot these words in Konektado’s Facebook page a few years back: “Araneta Dreams.” A bunch of hip-hop artists performing at the Big Dome (yes, it will be at the Araneta Coliseum). Impossible as it seems in the first place, eh?

Hey, it’s not anymore as tonight they will conquer the world, and it will be possible. Artists from the hip-hop and other genre will be performing on stage. Gloc-9, Greyhoundz, Freddie Aguilar, Abra, Q-York, Quest, Mike Swift, Urban Flow, Ron Henley, Loonie, Mike Kosa... you name them, and there’s a whole lot more.
