“Pakundangan” is a mesmerizing fusion of two reigning R&B-HipHop artists in the local scene, DEMI and Hev Abi. The title “Pakundangan”, translating to deep respect mixed with wonder, fear, and love, perfectly encapsulates the song’s theme – the delicate balance of affection and boundaries. DEMI and Hev Abi’s distinct personalities shine in this track, which borrows elements from their hit songs “Homebdy” and “Para Sa Streets.” Behind the track are two renowned producers in the local rap and R&B scene, zp3nd and NJ.

Industry, respected highly. In the streets, protected.

DĖMI (deh-mi) is an independent R&B Filipino artist based in Manila whose sounds are influenced by the likes of Kiana Lede, Kehlani, UMI, Jhéne Aiko, etc., which is an effect of her listening to international and local R&B artists & rappers growing up. Influenced by her environment as a teen, she was inclined with Filipino R&B / rap music. Thus, DĖMI’s sounds are described as a fusion of international and local music as she continues to produce Tagalog-English tracks.
