Learn more about the art of rapping, as Dcoy dished out his top four tips on how to become a great rapper.
 
1.  Study the history of rapping
 
“Nag-research ako talaga parang back to old school kung ano ‘yung roots ng hip-hop. So basically, pinag-aralan ko ‘yung kultura talaga.”
 
2.  Find your inspiration
 
“Dapat lagi silang mainspire sa music. Doon mangagaling ‘yun eh. Kailangan ma-inspire ka.”
 
3.  Love what you do
 
“Tsaka kailangan ilagay nila sa puso eh. Huwag nilang gawin dahil gusto nilang gawin. Huwag nilang gawin dahil gusto nilang magpasikat or something like that alam mo yun kailangan may puso eh”
 
4.  Be patient
 
“Kasi medyo hindi ganun kadali. Medyo competitive ['yung music industry]. Make sure na alam mo ‘yung direction na pupuntahan mo.”
 
5.  Write songs that people can relate
“Try to make a song na talagang mag-ma-marka and tingin ko para sa akin kasi dati mostly ginagawa kong song para sa akin. Tingin ko pag gumawa ka ng kanta, make sure ma-appreciate ng lahat. Do it for the people.”
