The third time’s the charm, but in Filipino rapper Because’s case, he had already hit a home run years ago on his debut album HEARTBREAK SZN and the hit single ‘Marlboro Black.’ So he’s back for a threepeat on ‘Marlboro Black 3’ that’s fresh off his new record HEARTBREAK SZN 3.

‘Marlboro Black 3’ sets the tone for HEARTBREAK SZN 3 with its melancholic blend of minor key melodies, synths, and piano. The track dives into the all-too-familiar feelings of despair and frustration resulting from a particularly devastating breakup. It delves into moments when his pain feels so overwhelming that all he can do is reach for a cigarette, which is an act of solace amid emotional chaos.

This latest chapter in the Marlboro Black series underscores Because's ability to connect with listeners on a deeply emotional level. His raw, honest lyrics and signature sound continue to win fans over, and he has become a voice for those navigating the rough waters of young love and heartbreak.

Since making his mark on the Pinoy rap scene with his breakout hit ‘Marlboro Black’ in 2017, Because has consistently delivered music that resonates with fans who have faced the sting of broken relationships. Now in his early 20s, Because continues to explore the complexities of heartache with maturity and depth. With four full albums under his belt, including the acclaimed Rowena released in 2019, the rapper shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to refine his craft.
