At dalawampung taon na ang kantang ito ni Kiko. Mula sa album na Happy Battle noong 1996. Ni-release ito ng BMG Records Pilipinas at Greater East Asia Music.

I’m not saying this to kiss ass or to ride bandwagon (say, I just wonder: is anyone talking about him in the first place, aside from the people whom were closely related to him, and the music community?). In fact, I admit that I’m not even an avid fan. But I admire this guy a lot; I even remember he’s one of the persons I want to meet as a youngster (unfortunately, it didn’t happen).

Who exactly is Francis Durango Magalona?

Perhaps, a lot of people around the music industry -- regardless of any genre -- would mourn on the loss of a great music icon here in the Philippines. Because he also was one of the pillars of rap music here in the country, enough reason to tell that he's not called as "the pinoy king of rap" or "master rapper" for nothing.
