Delinquent Society’s “800WABAD” Proves They’ve Got The Sauce

The Davao hip-hop scene’s very own Delinquent Society, has officially signed with Diorama FM, marking a major milestone in their career. The trio — consisting of Aud, Contemplate, and Fusr — has released their latest single, "8000WABAD," a hard-hitting track that encapsulates the group's ethos and trailblazing spirit in the underground rap world.

The song's core message resonates deeply with Delinquent Society's journey, as they continue to dominate the underground rap scene. Boasting an impressive 1.7 million combined streams on Spotify and 1.5 million views on YouTube, the group has proven their appeal through genuine talent and consistent output. Their rise has not gone unnoticed, with features in respected publications like Rappler, Clavel, and Scout Magazine, highlighting how they're putting Davao artists on the map.

At its core, "8000WABAD" is a bold declaration of what Delinquent Society embodies: resilience, humility, and pride in their origins. Contemplate captures what the group stands for: “Number ko 8-0-0-0 tawag samin hero. Got the sauce that's a fact bruh ‘di mi hambugiro.” This part, as the group explains, symbolizes their approach to success: “These lines really represent the very essence of Delinquent Society as a group. We know we have the 'sauce' or what it takes to take it further, but we don't brag about it on social media, etc. We just show it through our product and consistently showing up whenever it matters the most. We're not like these other groups that talk a lot, thus, ‘di mi hambugiro.’ We just want to represent where we're from, and for that, the city looks at us like heroes.”

Building on their momentum, Delinquent Society recently collaborated on a successful event in Davao with Kartell’em last October 17, further cementing their influence in the community. Fans eager for more from this group should keep an eye out for upcoming events and releases. Make sure to follow Delinquent Society and Diorama FM across all major streaming platforms to stay in the loop.
