Recently, I attended a somewhat a talk with the rapper, John Rendez, he is a rap artist and a composer who finally back to the recording scene.

He finish his new rap album exactly one year, from conceptualizing the type and quality of its contents, to composing the new rap songs, to deciding on some "updates" to his previous compositions.

His album entitled "Metaldog".  A follow-up to the self-titled John did years ago, also bearing the "Metaldog" tag, with its carrier single "There Can Only Be One" (a new original composition), the album is decided mix of so called "high-end" rap and what may be regarded as "low end/pang-masa" hip-hop beat.

Eleven original compositions make up this new rap album by John Rendez, including: There Can Only Be One, No More Musik by the Suckers, Ratt9MM, Metaldog, Kembotan, Everybody Sayaw (relieving John's early years on Television, via ABS-CBN's "Ready Set Go!", in the early 90's). Under the Ground, Sowerzitat? Domination, Coming to a theater Near you and a semi novelty Tagalop rap, Plastik Pala.

The experience of doing the whole album was as fulfillling as John has envisioned.

No less than the bosses from PolyEast Records, Mr. Jesmon Chua and Mr. Chito Ilagan, the album distributor, would attest to the CD rap album's great potential to become a qualified hit.

John Rendez' Album Metaldog is now available nationwide distributed by PolyEast Records.
