Young Blood Neet opens up about his latest mixtape, his creative process, and why he believes the future of Pinoy hip-hop lies in authenticity, collaboration, and big dreams.
Rising hip-hop artist Young Blood Neet (YB Neet) continues to carve his name in the local music scene as he recently brought together fellow artists and industry players for an intimate yet energetic listening party of his latest project, “Pablo: Flood the Streets Mixtape.”
Joining him at the event were Believe executives along with artists Kiyo, CK VG, Realest Cram, and Aze Sorrento, creating a space where hip-hop enthusiasts could connect and celebrate the genre.

The mixtape features tracks such as “100,” “My Game,” “Still Nasa Trap,” “‘Di Bale,” “Malakas,” and “Swerte,” among others, each reflecting Neet’s evolving sound and personal journey.
For the young rapper, the project is more than just a collection of songs; it represents growth, patience, and collaboration.
“This mixtape demonstrates that you need to have faith in the process and be willing to work with others in order to create quality music,” he shared.
Neet also recently took his music to the stage, performing in front of a large crowd in Quezon City. Dressed in streetwear and sporting a signature thick chain, he fully embraced the essence of hip-hop culture as he delivered his new tracks live.
“Performing live is always a positive experience. The audience gives you their energy and instant feedback. Seeing the community’s support is already an achievement in itself, even if I know I still have more to do. And of course, Believe Music continues to show their support,” he said.
As conversations about the “King of Pinoy Rap” continue to circulate online a title long associated with the late Francis Magalona fans remain divided, with some rooting for Gloc-9 while others stand by Andrew E.
But for Neet, the focus should go beyond titles and recognition.
“Wala pa ako sa posisyon para magsabi kung sino ang king of hip-hop. Pero lahat naman ng hip-hop artists ay magagaling. Each of them has a unique style. Ang mahalaga lang naman ay mabigyan ng attention ang hip-hop katulad n’ong ibinibigay na attention sa ibang genres,” he explained.
With over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify and hit tracks like “ILY,” “Need Ya,” and “Dem Dayz” with Flow G, Neet is steadily building his own legacy. And while he shows respect for his peers, he is not afraid to dream big.
Defining the future of P-hop
“Gusto kong maging king. I know my music. I understand hip-hop. I know how hardworking I am. Siyempre dapat mag-dream ka nang malaki. Maa-achieve naman natin sigurado ‘yan,” he said confidently.
His music, he emphasized, is deeply rooted in personal experience from his past work in a multi-level company to his time in theater and now his journey as a recording artist.
“Wala akong formula sa pagsusulat. Kapag nasa studio, habang nagre-record, bigla-bigla ko na lang maiisip ‘yong words. On the spot, magpi-freestyle ako. Kapag maganda ang music, madadala ka at masasabi mo ‘yong gusto mo,” he shared.
For Neet, authenticity remains at the core of hip-hop.
“Dapat totoo ka lang sa mga sinasabi mo. Dapat maramdaman ng mga tao ‘yong mensahe. Ang hip-hop music ay expression,” he added.
As the genre continues to evolve in the Philippines, artists like Young Blood Neet are not only contributing to its growth, they are helping redefine its future, one track at a time.
Wala akong formula sa pagsusulat. Kapag nasa studio, habang nagre-record, bigla-bigla ko na lang maiisip ‘yong words. On the spot, magpi-freestyle ako. Kapag maganda ang music, madadala ka at masasabi mo ‘yong gusto mo.
