Apekz has long been one of the sharpest voices in Filipino Hip Hop, and his recent live performance of ‘Siglo’ on the Wish 107.5 Bus is a testament to that. The track itself, released this past January, has been considered by fans an underrated gem in his catalog. In the transparent stage of the Wish Bus, ‘Siglo’ hit differently, and audiences noticed. Within just 24 hours of its YouTube release, the performance racked up 25,000 views, with fans all clamouring for more love to be shown for this song.

Part of what makes ‘Siglo’ so compelling is its structure. The song moves between two worlds–a soaring, love-struck chorus delivered by a female vocalist over a drill-inspired backdrop, and Apekz’s verses that ride on a high-energy Jersey Club beat. That push and pull mirrors the rush of falling in love at first sight. There are butterflies in your stomach, the dizzy excitement, and the sense that destiny itself might be at play.

The live mix highlights the bounce and brightness of the production, while Apekz’s delivery makes the story of fated love feel more immediate and real. For longtime listeners, ‘Siglo’ was always a highlight waiting to be rediscovered.
