The hip-hop and rap artist Hero has come up with a new single, Asa Ka, described by his team as a bold and empowering anthem. It also marks his being an independent Original Pilipino Music (OPM) talent.

Asa Ka is ‘an electrifying blend of catchy beats and honest lyrics that will resonate with anyone,’ says his team.
He recalled that the young Hero loved to sing and join singing contests. Such an interest was complemented by his liking to memorize rap songs. Part of his early creative ventures was to take on the #44 Bars Challenge of Gloc-9 where the latter uploads the beat and the lyrics on his Facebook page and YouTube channel, and encourages artists to use the same beat and make their own words set to it. The activity invites artistic curiosity and creativity among talents.
As for Asa Ka’s source of inspiration, narrative- and music-wise, Hero said, “I think there are people who experience it, while the vibe of the song is like a Mexican rap, kaya natuwa ako at inisipan ko lang ng tema .” As a tunesmith, Hero begins the song composition process with, as he put it, “beat first and then I write the chorus kasi duon ako magbabase ng buong song, yun po yung magiging tema ko at duon po iikot yung pinakalaman ng kanta .”“Perhaps, it took me two to three days to finish the lyrics because I first worked on the hook. With mixing, I also had two days,” said Hero, who also collaborated with producers in charge of the beat. “Nag-se-send lang ako ng mga reference ng mga gusto kong tunog .
