Rising hip-hop artist/producer Blahza dives deep into romantic nostalgia on “Scared of Heights”

Tweet

Blahza pushes his breezy hip-hop sound to a more palatable direction on his latest track “Scared of Heights”—out today on all digital and streaming platforms worldwide.

Released under Umami Records, the song dives deep into themes of romantic nostalgia and pandemic anxiety to create something that matters in the broadest sense. “It’s not easy to admit when you don’t have courage, but it’s so relatable because we all fall short in some aspects, especially love—when the past year has made interactions very limited,” Blahza reveals.

Blahza puts into perspective how important the song meant to him, and for the most part, how its message could resonate to music fans of all stripes. “So many of us don’t take the opportunity to even say hi to someone we’re are crushing on for fear of rejection or making ourselves look dumb. This song is about finally saying hello and starting that dream relationship you want and can provide.”

The multi-talented rapper/producer also pointed out how “Scared of Heights” is a personal anecdote of him being infatuated with someone in his teenage years. “All the times growing up when I was really into a girl who was in my class and didn’t know how to tell her that I liked her,” he admits. “The countless memories imagining what I would say when I finally built up the courage.”

Tucked somewhere between Plain White T’s alternative pop leanings and Post Malone’s titanium-grade hooks, the rising hip-hop artist and songwriter embraces his more vulnerable side in songwriting, and drops memorable verses over moody but immaculate production.

With its icy breeziness and stripped-down appeal, “Scared of Heights” easily ranks as one of his most accessible yet earnestly compelling releases so far, firmly establishing himself as one of the formidable forces this side of Asian-American rap.

Blahza recorded, mixed and mastered Blueface’s record ‘Next Big Thing’ in 2018. In 2019, Blahza opened for Members Only at the first stop of their album tour, and released his EP ‘Bloom’. Blahza has been featured on major playlists including Spotify’s Beats & Rhymes, New Era: Asian Hip-Hop, Border Beats and 都会の空と音楽と.

Born and raised in Van Nuys, of Chinese and Puerto Rican parents, Blahza grew up surrounded by music and diversity. He fell in love with rap music and especially how it bridged different cultures.

Blahza is currently working on his full-length debut album ‘Sad Songs For Happy People’ slated for release later this year.

CANVAS donates children’s e-books to Globe eLibrary

Tweet

Children’s stories on culture and the arts were given by the Center for Art, New Ventures & Sustainable Development (CANVAS) to Globe eLibrary to address the learning needs of students affected by the pandemic.

The joint goal of Globe and CANVAS is to promote children's literacy, explore national identity, and help deepen the public’s appreciation for Philippine art, culture and the environment. As partners, they aim to populate Globe eLibrary with local e-books for children that may be used for teaching and learning.

CANVAS already provided 13 electronic book (eBook) titles to the Globe eLibrary such as Nadia and the Blue Stars by Francesca Nicole Chan Torres and artwork by Liv Vinluan, which talks about Nadia’s love for flowers and her struggle to care for them in the middle of a war, and Karapat-Dapat: Bata, Alamin ang Inyong mga Karapatan by Ang Ink, which delves into children’s rights.

The rest of the eBook titles are Inang Kalikasan by Recle Vibal, Aklatang Pusa by Eugene Evasco, Ang Batang Maraming Bawal by Fernando Rosal Gonzales, Tahan na Tahanan by Maria Isabel Alarilla-Arellano, Message in the Sand by Charmaine Aserappa, A Fish Tale, and The Rocking Horse by Becky Bravo, Si Pontang at ang Lihim ng Kuweba by Melvin B. Atole, Mga Munting Patak ng Ulan by Jessica Olmedo, Si Lupito at ang Barrio Sirkero by Rowald Almazar, and Ang Anghel ng Sta. Ana by Josephine de Dios.

“It would be most beneficial to students and teachers to gain access to as much relevant content as possible. This is why we continuously look for content partners for Globe eLibrary to give them a wide array of free resource materials online,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications.

“From one seed, an entire forest. From one story, a generation of readers. We cling to the hope and possibility that somewhere down the line, one of the books that we publish, one of the artworks that we show, or one of the ideas that we share, will trigger the imagination of one child who will then be moved to change the world for the better,” said Gigo Alampay, founder and executive director of CANVAS on the group’s website, www.canvas.ph.

CANVAS publishes children’s books through the Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition and donates books to underprivileged communities through the One Million Books for One Million Filipino Children Campaign. It also holds art exhibitions, arranges group shows through the Looking for Juan Program, and mounts other creative events and activities.

Meanwhile, Globe eLibrary is a website and mobile application that provides students and teachers with free access to hundreds of international and local e-books titles and e-Learner videos on various subjects to view online or download offline. It is one of the components of the Global Filipino Schools, a long-term educational initiative of Globe, which aims to transform public schools into centers of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) excellence and innovative teaching methods to set the stage for modern learning. Access to materials in Globe eLibrary is free to all Globe and TM customers.

This initiative by Globe underscores its support for the United Nations Sustainable Goal no. 4 on “Quality Education.” Globe is one with the UN in working for inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all.
