I'm not gonna let my blog not to havea post about Francis Magalona, the Philippines's King of Rap, Master Rapper, The Man from Manila, The Father of Pinoy Hip-Hop, MC The Mouth or simply known as KIKO. The only pinoy rapper that was awarded a posthumous Presidential Medal of Merit.
He started out as a breakdancer in the late 80's, also he was cast in BAGETS 2 movie. A good father and a provider to his 8 children, two of whom Kiko's stepchildren. A loving husband to his wife Pia Magalona, who's also playing as a background vocalist with his band Hardware Syndrome.
He was loved by many Filipino's for being nationalistic. He earns the respect that he deserved not just in Hip-Hop community but in all levels of genre specially with Pinoy rock. He is also an entrepreneur where he put up a clothing company which is Francis Magalona Clothing Company (Brown Like Wood, Flipino By Blood). The 3 Stars and a Sun logo symbolizes of him being nationalistic. (3 Stars and a Sun Stores)
His untimely death (March 6, 2009) is a big loss in Philippine's entertainment industry. He will be missed forever by his family, friends and fans who really know and love him. To all who love him please continue to support his music and live up his legacy. KIKO FOREVER!
