00:00 Hi guys, it's your girl Mimi
00:03 *weird noises*
00:05 What did Mimi do?
00:08 It became a medicine for all Filipinos
00:11 It's funny what she did
00:14 How to... How to be a Filipino
00:19 *music*
00:36 *music*
00:44 *music*
00:54 It was formed way back in 2018
00:58 It's a local music in the Philippines
01:02 It's a community rap, if you call it local
01:05 We're all single artists, we make our own music
01:10 It's a channel on YouTube
01:13 There are so many artists there, even producers
01:17 Even if we don't know each other, we'll still be there
01:21 Actually, I don't know Jom, Kraki, and Russell
01:25 One time, we were doing a collab
01:28 I asked, "Who can collab with you?"
01:31 Jom replied to me
01:34 I met Kraki first
01:37 Then Russell and Klein introduced me to them
01:40 We were in the same class in college
01:45 I was working at the time
01:48 I made "Dalaga"
01:50 *music*
01:58 That's when we started collaborating
02:01 I told Russell that I'm making a new vibe
02:07 Because I'm not doing what I used to do
02:10 We always make songs that are more on trap
02:14 More on reality topics
02:17 More on what's happening in society
02:20 *music*
02:29 I tested a love song
02:31 I asked him if it was okay because it sounded baduy
02:35 I told him it wasn't baduy, it was catchy
02:38 I suggested that since we're in a group chat with local artists
02:45 And local producers
02:48 Why not find a Filipino rapper
02:51 Who can collab with us
02:54 Who can represent Filipinos in other countries
02:58 He said, "Okay, I know Jom"
03:02 He told me it was Klein
03:04 Because I saw his first single
03:07 On Spotify's Pinoy Rap Playlist
03:10 And it was in the top 1
03:12 *music*
03:14 I saw him in the group chat
03:17 We PMed him and he was included in the song
03:20 They PMed me, I remember
03:23 We were happy, they agreed
03:25 I already had a group in Italy
03:28 We were artists, underrated
03:31 I was surprised that we were in the same group
03:34 They both chatted with me
03:37 "Bro, can we collab?"
03:39 It was my first time collaborating
03:42 Because I usually make my own music
03:46 I have my own producer
03:49 We talked about how we would set the song
03:52 Because we're solo artists
03:54 We said, "We're solo artists, let's just make a group"
03:59 We decided to make a group
04:03 Klein came up with the name "Almost"
04:07 We said, "This is okay, no one can use it"
04:11 When we were thinking of the group's name
04:14 We couldn't think of anything
04:16 Because if we were to name our four members
04:19 All of them, me, Eddie, and I
04:21 It would be too long
04:23 That's why it's double L
04:25 For me, it's for all genres
04:28 All of the voices' ranges
04:31 The dollar sign
04:34 We're just attracted
04:37 It's a law of attraction
04:39 Because of our music, we can earn
04:43 We can also surpass the international market
04:46 Because of the dollars
04:48 A Filipino girl, yeah
04:50 A Filipino girl
04:52 A Filipino girl, yeah
04:54 A Filipino girl
04:56 I made "Dalaga"
04:58 I wrote it on paper
05:00 Then I put it on a notepad
05:02 When I was revising the beat
05:04 Mr. E.P. gave it to me
05:06 Our producer
05:08 The beat of "Dalaga"
05:17 I thought of the word "Dalaga"
05:20 I said, "It's like no one does this in Hip Hop"
05:26 A Filipino girl, yeah
05:28 A Filipino girl
05:30 You're mixing the song with a girl
05:35 Because it's normal in music
05:38 You love people
05:40 You can't hear that topic about a girl
05:44 Because usually, it's about love
05:48 About courting
05:50 Then Kraki thought of
05:52 To make the image of a Filipino girl
05:56 Woah, baby
05:58 I wanted to see
06:00 The real Filipino
06:02 I met her on social media
06:05 If you say "the real Filipino"
06:08 She's the one who can stand out
06:12 Hi guys, it's your girl, Mimi
06:16 When Mimi did that
06:20 I watched it
06:22 Her video wasn't that popular yet
06:26 She wasn't doing a challenge yet
06:30 But I was really happy
06:32 Because what she did was really funny
06:36 Baby, don't be so desperate
06:40 You know that you're really in need
06:43 She didn't age
06:46 She made it funny
06:48 And that funny thing
06:50 Became a medicine for all Filipinos
06:53 On TV, we see it
06:55 Our song is being played
06:57 Artists are doing it
06:59 See you
07:01 Mimi did a good job
07:19 Making people laugh
07:23 Because the song was brought by people
07:25 That's how they expressed it
07:27 I want to see you
07:29 I want to see you
07:31 The real Filipino
07:33 Our group was formed
07:35 Because of our song "Dalaga"
07:37 The real Filipino
07:39 The real Filipino
07:41 The real Filipino
07:43 The real Filipino
