Deep Foundation’s “A Place Called Home”
“A Place Called Home” uses a sample from Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak” (which means child). The rap group, with members from New York and New Jersey, rap about their perspectives on their Filipino heritage, bringing to light where this group’s true foundations lie.
To many hip hop laymen, they come across as another rag-tag assembly of long-winded pseudo-political emcees that border on hip hop and alt-rock. To those outside the hip hop circle, murmurs of identity crisis and terms like wanna-be surface in conversation. Those familiar with DF however, know that they are neither the former nor the latter.
