From the start, rising OPM artist Robledo Timido set out with a vision—to break into the mainstream and establish his place in Pinoy rap. 2024 saw him achieve exactly that. His relentless dedication to authenticity has earned him both critical and commercial success, proving he belongs in the ever-evolving landscape of OPM.
His viral hit "Gusto Ko Sakin Ka Lang" is proof of his rise. In just a year, the track has racked up over 60 million streams, turning Timido into one of the most exciting new voices in the scene. His debut album, "Salbahe," has only fueled the momentum, packed with raw lyricism and fearless energy.
Reflecting on his whirlwind year, Timido expressed gratitude and growth: “This year has been a wild ride, mannn. A mix of triumphs and setbacks, higher highs and humbling lows. It’s been a rollercoaster, real shit… Pero sa lahat ng ‘yon, mas madami lang rin akong natutunan ngayong taon. I’m proud of the person/artist I’m becoming, and I’m really grateful sa naging takbo ng taong ‘to para sakin at para sa career ko.”
But Timido isn’t slowing down anytime soon. As he gears up for 2025, his drive remains unwavering, saying, “I’ve held onto my vision, pinangako ko sa sarili kong tatagos ako sa tenga ng karamihan at sa Pinoy rap ngayong taon, and I’m more determined to see it through next year, 2025.”
Acknowledging the people behind his success, he shared a message of gratitude: "To my family, friends, and syempre sa REALWRLD fam, kay Aaron Meneses, direk Kevin Benitez, at Mc Magistrado—thank you for opening doors for me, providing invaluable guidance, wisdom, and support. Sa mga producers, creatives, at artists na nakatrabaho ko this year, maraming salamat!"
With an ever-growing fanbase and an unyielding hunger for success, Robledo Timido is just getting started. As he confidently puts it, "Madami pa talaga. Warm-up pa lang ‘tong taong ‘to."
