XO ICY, a word Rooted From bling blings, shiny things and fresh thangs. It just represents our group for being influenced mostly by new school hip-hop. And of course our rap group stands out from all tha rappers in the P.I. that has the usual hardcore raps and diss raps. We express hip-hop the south side style! It’s the general hip-hop!

Yea, in De Lasalle, Paco Catholic School & Ermita Catholic School, Yea, We Like It, it’s all competition and mostly special appearances. Special moments? Hmm.. maybe when we started rapping most of the audience applaud to us! Especially girls! Hahaha!!

How? The internet is the best and the most affordable way for you to be discovered in the music industry. In just one click, your sample songs are on the web and anyone who accessed it can listen to it. So we think internet really changed the way artist are discovered! Not like the usual way, the radio plays and payolas.. And of course mp3 is the most reliable and file type of audio file!

Yea! It’s an opportunity to get signed! It’s every artist dream! But we are clever artist! So haters, get outta the way!
