Death Threat (hip hop group)


Death Threat is a hip-hop group who pioneered the gangsta rap subgenre in the Philippines.

History

Their self-titled debut album Death Threat went gold and produced the hit "Gusto Kong Bumaet " which told tales of the daily lives of the young impoverished Filipino youth growing up in the city streets and slum areas.
Their second album, Death Threat: Wanted became even bigger, passing the double platinum mark and producing the hit single "Ilibing ng Buhay " with Pooch of Ghetto Doggs.
Beware left the Philippines after the release of the album, and the group became the duo of Hi-Jakkk and Gloc-9, and released the third album Kings of da Undaground in 1997. The album received 4x Platinum Certificate Award despite of having no mainstream promotion and by only word of mouth in the streets. Beware then returned to the Philippines in 1998 to release the album Death Threat: The Return that was recorded in Sactown, California.
Gerald "Genezide" Acelajado became a born-again pastor.
Lawrence "O-Dogg" Panganiban was an RTC employee. In 2014, he was shot dead in Muntinlupa.
