The fellas from DF along with Hydroponikz and Anika Hazel have teamed up for what they dub a “freemix” of B.o.B. and Bruno Mars’ huge hit “Nothin’ On You”. As you probably guessed, it’s a free DL. It’s a decent track but it doesn’t have the same charm as the original. It’s hard to top the ridiculously catchy original. It’s a fun attempt but they’ve all dropped nicer songs in the past.

Deep Foundation Interview w/ channelAPA
Here’s another interview from ChannelAPA’s East Coast tour. This time they talk with NY-based Deep Foundation, showing why their group name is truly applicable as their love Hip-Hop and their own ethnic Filipino heritage has really grounded them and runs deep in everything they do. They also mention what it was like to work with Choz Belen, Hydro, Bambu, and Legaci. Expect big things for the group!
Deep Foundation x Hydroponikz Release An Adam Carolla Diss Track
Earlier this month shock jock Adam Carolla made some incredibly stupid comments in the “name of humor” about Manny Pacquaio and the people of the Philippines in general. As you can imagine, a lot of people got heated to the point where they went after his sponsors. Under intense pressure Adam issued a somewhat ambiguous apology, whether or not is genuine has yet to be determined.
Among many of the people to publicly speak out against the radio host’s actions are Filipino hip-hop artists Deep Foundation and Hydroponikz who deliver this remix over the Jay-Z ‘Minority Report’ instrumental.
Early this month, Adam Carolla made disparaging comments about Manny Pacquiao, the Philippines and its people in his popular “The Adam Carolla Podcast.” For all those that say it was a joke and that we’re taking Carolla’s comments too seriously, we encourage you to actually listen to clip from the podcast. He was not joking when he made rants such as “All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex tours” and “Heres how you know when your country doesnt have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”
Initially, Carolla posted an “apology” on Twitter, but not only after thousands of Filipinos signed a petition demanding an apology did he post one on his site. We felt the need to respond to comments reducing our people as Manny Pacquiao worshipers and prostitutes. So we did.

Hydroponikz Features on re:plus Track – Time Goes By
Check out the new MV for the song ‘Time Goes By’ by re:plus featuring Hydroponikz on the verses and Anika Hazel on the hook. It’s a beautifully arranged track but it’s too bad none of the artists are in the video (that I can tell anyways).
The track is off re:plus’s album Everlasting Truth, available on iTunes (Japan?) 3/3/10. The song actually reminds me a lot of the recent collab of Kero One and Anan Ryoko. Gorgeous instrumentation paired with smooth, laid back rhymes. These international collabos are killing it!
