A new player has entered the rap game: Nomad releases debut track ‘Kalabaw’

The newest rapper to join the bustling world of Pinoy hip-hop is here, and his name is Nomad – Nomad Ambition. With the release of his first single titled “Kalabaw,” there is no doubt that Nomad is set to make waves in the local hip-hop scene this 2025.

“Kalabaw” is essentially a tribute to and a symbol of the hard-working Filipino – a fitting debut song from the rapper given his personal life story.

Nomad (also known as Nomad Ambition) is an up-and coming homegrown Filipino rapper, songwriter, and producer hailing from Odiongan in the province of Romblon. As a Pinoy rap artist, one can characterize his music as a blend of authentic lyrical storytelling fused with modern and old school hip-hop influences. Nomad draws inspiration from hip-hop legends such as Tupac, Eminem, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

As a lyricist, he expresses his thoughts through the eyes of a working-class Filipino, incorporating themes such as resilience, hard work, and ambition. As a chef by day and rapper by night, one could say that he is indeed always cooking up something special while serving as a living testament to his own vision.

On a related note, he is also the mind behind P-Pop boy group VXON’s latest single titled “Agila” which was released just weeks prior.

“Kalabaw” is composed by Nomad Ambition, produced by VIP International, and published and distributed by Cornerstone Music. The song’s beat is made by Karu Maru.

The official music video – which will be featuring cameos of well-known names in the music industry – will be dropping very soon on the Cornerstone Music YouTube channel.

“Kalabaw” is now available to stream on all major music streaming platforms worldwide. The official lyric video is now available to watch on the Cornerstone Music YouTube channel.
