Still Kalihi
Rex Pedro™. Producer. Filipino-American out of Kalihi, building beats on a chill Sunday with the shed warm around him and Bob Marley watching from the wall.
Some artists chase the spotlight. Pelochino™ chases the loop. Sample-based hip-hop is the gospel he preaches — vinyl, hardware, the SP-404, the patience to let a sound breathe. He calls his studio the shed. He calls his work process. He calls his beats answers to whatever gatekeepers had to say.
Ghetto Gold™ is out now. The album is what it sounds like when you put everything together — heritage, faith, and a sample chopped just right.
