Pette
Music
Thriving upon incongruity, Pette's flows frolic ‘twixt collisions of incongrelicious registers and the prodigious possibilities of language when liberated from respectability. Verses from the Quezon City rapper and DJ careen between Filipino and English, an aural feast of vernacular invective and delectable wordplay that produces a linguistic tumult, whose rich insolence conceals a keen instinct for satirical deflation. Her work exists as a form of social realism refracted through personal experience, integrity and curiosity reigning supreme. She has a particular gift for transforming the minutiae of contemporary Filipino existence into ammo for more expansive cultural critiques, puncturing machismo and pretension and all the other suffocating absurdities of conventional respectability with charming irreverence.
