ONE MORE BEFORE THE ALBUM’S OUT: BAWAL CLAN AND OWFUCK DROP NEW TRACK “HEIST”

Words by Nic Angeles

It’s only a matter of days now before the full release of Ligtas, an exciting collaborative project between Bawal Clan and Owfuck. The seven-track album drops on May 8th, but we’ve heard much of it with previous releases “Pating Sa Kadiliman” and “Ligaw”.

Here’s one more before we’re able to hear the whole thing—“Heist”, which presents a story happening within the song itself.

Listen and see this narrative unfold with this lyric video:

“I wanted to create segments for rappers to highlight their verses at the same time to create the scenario and express the energy of being in the heist,” says Pope Fiction of the latest track to come out of Ligtas. Pope Fiction produced the beats for this track, which features Owfuck’s Astro, Lexus and Paul Cassimir, and Bawal Clan’s Ankhten Brown, Rjay Ty, and Lex Luthoor.

“Astro and Pope [Fiction] started off with the draft for this track with the idea of us walking into a bank, saying what [would] we want to [do] if we were in a heist situation,” shares Rjay Ty about the track’s narrative.

“When Astro put his initial verse, [it] pretty much took off from there,” Pope Fiction adds. “Yung Bawal added the final touches and Rjay’s hook generally made the track for me. It set the tone.”

“Pinapakita ko dito ang halimbawa ng taong madaling matukso, says Astro.

“I guess it’s all about getting what’s yours regardless of obstacles,” Lex Luthoor furthers. “[It’s being] willing to go the extreme to get what you think you deserve.”

Save the date—May 8th is when Ligtas drops. For now, enjoy the previous releases “Pating Sa Kadiliman” and “Ligaw”, along with the brand new track.
