It was my first time as a blogger and after 8 years to attend an MTV event. This time, it was held at the historic Quirino Grandstand as they had MTV Music Evolution Manila 2015.
For that night happened a few days ago, they gathered the best local and international hip-hop artists. The actual show started at around 7 pm but there's already a DJ-based Hip Hop set at around 5 pm. I was lucky that some of the people right there allowed me to go into the moshpit area. I got some free tickets but I'm not in this event as media.
The event was hosted by some of MTV Asia VJs and MTV Pinoy VJs Schneider and Yassi Pressman.
I was able to watch the first 3 acts of the night including Gloc 9, Abra and Apl.De.Ap . All of the 3 artists had 6 tracks. 2 of last Gloc's songs were from the late great Francis M. Abra has joined with his other project LDP, Ron Henley and Loonie. Apl was joined by Jessica Velasco, Jamir and Lean of Slapshock, Abra and Loonie
I am actually waited for the 90s hip hip group Naughty by Nature but as I had a blog coverage at the following day (morning) so I had to leave early. You can check out the videos at www.mtvmusicevolution.com
I hope that MTV will have this one again soon this time for rock/alternative stage.
