Poetic Ammo, the trailblazing rap ensemble hailing from Malaysia, has etched an indelible mark on the country’s music scene. Comprising members such as Yogi B, Point Blanc, and C.Loco, the group emerged in the late 1990s, fusing diverse influences to craft their distinctive sound. With lyrical prowess and a fusion of hip-hop, R&B, and local flavors, Poetic Ammo swiftly gained a dedicated following. Their debut album, “It’s a Nice Day to be Alive,” catapulted them to national acclaim, addressing societal issues with unapologetic verses and infectious beats. The band is on permanent hiatus at the moment but all went on to have successful individual endeavours.

This is my favourite song from the group. It is from their second album, The World Is Yours! It was nice to have a Malaysian English act sharing the airwaves with more popular western acts. I remember I was in college around this time as one of my collegemate has the album.

Well, I hope this brings some good memories to some or even introduce a new track to your playlist.
