Prometheus Brown and Bambu are The Bar. They are on a West Coast tour. They have a new EP. Son of Barkada is a self-referential curio; an objet d’art for the Filipino community (and those desperately wanting to be down). Maybe, just maybe, if you’re on that Tyrese artwork, you too could be baptized in The Bar’s holy rap waters.
The Bar’s new record, auspiciously titled Barkada, is set to drop tomorrow on Beatrock Music. Here’s a little preview then: the video for the duo’s “Coming (To America)”, directed by the always reliable DJ Nphared; the track was produced by The Physics’ in-house beatmaker Justo.

And the Valentine’s Day drops keep coming. Don’t forget to acknowledge that special someone today. Girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, husbands. Hell, even jump-offs and F-buddies of all types. Everyone can get it!

DJ Nphared quietly produced the best SEA hip-hop song of 2010. The Physics’ “Coronas On Madrona” was a breezy soulful anthem that expertly captured the laid-back vibe of a typical Seattle summer.
