Mouth 3: Godfather of Ilonggo Rap
By Reynan G. Sularan
IT was 1991 and he was in the seminary.
He grew up with his uncle, a priest, so he was influenced with the teachings of God. All he really wanted was to be a servant of God.
But one unpredictable day, a rap concert was held in his school. Nobody from his class dared to join, so he volunteered.
It all started there. He held the mic and gave Francis M's "Mga Kababayan Ko" with a solemn twist, plus some gospel verses.
Friends, meet the simple Mouth 3.
His teenage life was an inspiration since that day he held the mic and impressed the crowd with his speed in rapping.
His first influence was Mastah Plan, known for their uncommon rhymes and speedy style.
In school, he met people who would think, talk, and act like him, so he found his homies. They shared the same ideas and interest. They would compose their own rap songs and they rapped like they didn't care.
Folks, meet a better Mouth 3.
And then in 2002, he went to Manila to try his luck. He met Philippine Triad Tough Group, who helped him enhance his craft. They backed him up in all hip hop matters.
In the Manila, where rappers abound from underground to techno floods, Mouth 3 met Hip hop icon Francis M.
The hopeful young rapper watched and waited for the original "The MOUTH", in all his gigs and shows.
And after all those times of waiting, the two hip hop minds met. And like a fan that met his idol in flesh, Mouth 3 was star struck. But he wasted no time and opportunity. He showed a sample demo CD containing his compositions and talent.
Of course, "the master rapper" was glad to meet rappers from Iloilo who have the guts, the courage and the talent to even it with the urban rappers. He was also acquainted with Gloc-9, who eventually became his buddy. So, he was like a rapper at work now.
People, meet a grown-up rapper, Mouth 3.
He went home to Iloilo loaded with more rhymes and armed with more speed. He found his crew, thus the birth of SOUTHSYD SOULJAZ.
Then, he put up his own studio. Now, he produces albums and discovers talent. And now people look up to him. He's like 'Dr. Dre of Iloilo".
Hiphop world, Homies, Ma Men, Iloilo, meet MOUTH 3, the Godfather of Ilonggo Rap.
ofcourse...
we are having rap war events all over panay...
watch out for "RAP WARS"!
ill pride...

PRODUCED by the Godfather of Ilonggo Rap, Mouth 3, the much-awaited album of the Southsyd Souljaz is finally out in the local market.
Titled as Boho, the group's debut album has 10 original tracks predominantly composed of Ilonggo rap artists. It has nine Ilonggo tracks and a Tagalog rap song.
Of course, songs in the album carry explicit content, so for those "batang isip" as stated on the cover of the album entitled "Bawal".
The group is composed of selected rap artists in the city mostly with underground influences screened and recruited by Mouth 3.
Ma men, my pleasure to introduce the soldiers from the south: Pointblank, Pox, Snypa, Vhouyengg, Sinco, M2, J-Fox, R-nic, V-king, Sayuke Clan, Phat Ryma, and Marl B.
Souljaz's first public appearance as a group was last August where they sang some of the rap songs in their album. The Eminent will never forget their "Rap It Up" concert. Attention y'all because this is worth mentioning. The concert led The Eminent to, at last, spot a precious gem, Mouth 3, a medium to unleash his rap skill. What a rap feast that was. It was a grand gathering of all hip hop-inclined individuals in Iloilo City including rap icon Mista Blaze. Just a teaser for their next album, The Eminent and Mouth 3 are doing rap collaboration. Plus, The Eminent is spitting nasty words in the All-Star Rap of the group.
Just a sneak preview of the album:
Inday-Inday (Mouth 3)
This tells a story of a girl who drives a boy crazy in love with her. The boy is so desperate that he even asked for weird courting styles from his midget friend.
Paasa (Pointblank, Pox, Snypa and Mouth 3)
The song is about politicians who make promises. In the long run, it turns out that the composer standing for the youth is pissed of waiting for these promises to be realized.
Sa Diin Kana? (Mouth 3 featuring Vhouyengg)
This is a question for a long lost love. Sa Diin Ka Na has a tear-jerky chorus. Someone who values someone could relate to this track.
Boho (Vhouyengg, Sinco and Mouth 3)
This cut has a double meaning. An immature listener would probably find Boho dirty. Although, some lines actually refer to the "real hole" when a line in the chorus goes "Tungod sa boho kita nagdamo" which is true anyway.
Cheese Miss (M2, Snypa, J-fox, Mouth 3 featuring Krizzy)
The fact that the composers diverted the title to a new double word, the song is still about gossips, chika, buzz, kucho-kucho, chismax, or whatever tsismis is called now. The song digs how these "Cheese Miss" could destroy the life of anyone.
Kabataan Subong (R-Nic, V-king, featuring Chezka)
An underground rap with an angry beat that adds to the youthful theme of the track. Our youth now is aggressive and controversial. The reasons? Just listen to the song.
Galupad Sa Air (Sayuke Clan)
This track is my favorite. This cut will be better if I wrote the lyrics (just kidding, men). It has a catchy and bouncy beat. Trivia: Sayuke's first verse rapper (I forgot his name) can do a Harlem and Creep moves while singing.
I'm Sorry Girl (Mouth 3 featuring Phat Ryma)
If we make mistakes, we know that saying sorry is the hardest thing to do. But if we do it with sincerity, we will be forgiven. When a guy apologizes sincerely, there is no way a girl will turn you down.
Mahal Kita (Snypa featuring Mouth 3 and Krizzy)
This is the only Tagalog track in the album. Krizzy gives an innocent twist in the chorus with her sweet and icy voice.
Palangga Guid Kita (Mouth 3 featuring Marl B.)
Of course, "Palangga ta gid ka" is the sweetest phrase someone can hear from people they love. Only Ilonggos do it the sweetest way (echos!).
The album is available at Soundworld, 2nd Floor of the Atrium Mall. You can get the copy at P150 only, a not-so-costly way to support our Ilonggo rap artists. Every peso you spend is worth the talent of these local young artists.
