Batas’ vinyl-loving fans are in for a treat.
The seasoned Filipino battle rapper took to social media to share that his first full-length album, Ginoong Rodriguez, will be available on vinyl in August.
Batas’s label, UPRISING, and Philippines-based Eikon Records will be spearheading the vinyl release.
According to Batas, the first pressing will yield 120 copies, and reservations are currently accepted. Ginoong Rodriguez was released in 2021 and is the FlipTop veteran’s first LP. It features fellow UPRISING and FlipTop artists such as Sayadd, Goriong Talas, and DJ Arthug who are also his fellow members in Illustrado and Teknika Brutal.
