It’s definitely not politics as usual with Morobeats on ‘ANAK KA NG PU!’

Sometimes the only thing left to do is fight the power

Politics has always been a shady business, and in the Philippines, that is truer than ever right now. The Morobeats crew had it up to here with corruption and stolen wealth, so they recorded and released ‘ANAK KA NG PU!’, an anthem for anyone who is sick of the arrogance of the one percent.

To start the song, the chanting starts with “YAMAN NG TAAS GALING LAHAT SA IBABA!” meaning “Wealth from above comes from below.” As soon as the beat by DJ Medmessiah drops, it’s a wrap. It feels as if ‘Ante Up’ by M.O.P. was about the government. Soon, all five MCs–JMara, Flackos, H20 Klann, Prophecee, and Naus–are spitting the realness about the justice that is not being served to the underprivileged in the Philippines.

With their shirts off and middle fingers high in the sky, the whole Morobeats crew is out on a construction site on a beautiful day for their one-take video of ‘ANAK KA NG PU!’. In contrast to the beautiful blue skies, the anger and energy of all the MCs has struck a nerve. The video has clocked more than half a million views in less than two weeks, and Morobeats has come with the political anthem of the year.
