  • Rising Rapper HERO Keeps Slaying with Song ‘Primera’

    Since becoming a part of the Universal Records artist roster, Hero is slowly but surely becoming a highly respected MC in the local hip-hop scene. And as someone who changes the rap game little by little, he’s also trying to use some detractors and doubters along the way as fuel to keep on slaying.

    Hero Primera 1

    With this, he brushes off negative criticisms rappers usually get and crafts a masterful track called “Primera” released under Universal Records. Staying true to his wonderful creativity, this single is another product of his teamwork with producer Russel “Goodson” Tiquia.

    The two-minute song is packed with bars that further prove that he’s such a talented wordsmith. It’s short but sweet & angsty at the same time. “Primera” is his brave take to turn those doubters to believers while keeping it real. It’s also a great tune to inspire people to shoot for the stars and let nothing hold you back.

    Hero Primera 6

    When asked further about the song Hero explains, “Para sa mga kapwa ko nangangarap, tuluy-tuloy lang sa arangkada, focus lang sa gustong marating at sabayan mo na rin ng pag-iingat sa paligid mo. Kasi sa panahon ngayon di maiiwasan ‘yung….. alam mo na yun.”

    The official music video of Hero’s “Primera” is just as striking; artistically filmed at a prominent boxing training gym directed by Aaron Maagma.

    It’s high time for you to have Hero on your radar this 2022. Stream “Primera” on your favorite digital platforms right away. The song is also part of New Music Friday Philippines Playlist on Spotify this week!

    Stream “Primera” on Spotify , Apple Music, and Audio Clip.
