1096 Gang member Guddhist Gunatita celebrates his birthday with a hopeful new single “GUDDS.”
The laidback track sees the Filipino rapper reflecting on the absurdity of making it through the worst in life. While Guddhist Gunatita’s work is often characterized by cautious optimism, “GUDDS” feels more liberated. For him, the feat of survival is all the more a cause of celebration, to be buoyed by humor and good-natured fun. “Naalala ko pa dati trahedyang malupit / Nakuha kong tawanan kahit na masakit,” (I remember when I went through the cruelest tragedies / I still found it in me to laugh even when it hurt), he raps.

Maraming salamat palagi sa hatid niyong pagmamahal at pagtitiwala, nawa’y magtugumpay tayong lahat sa kaniya kaniya nating lakbay sa buhay, proseso lang mga kapatid, marami akong nais na gawin sa musika, marami akong nais ipakitang bagay sa inyo sa musika, salamat dahil kayo rin ang may ambag kung nasan man ako ngayon!
