Up-and-coming rapper Neeyong lays bare his story in “Personal Inventory,” a debut extended play (EP) shaped by his process of healing from substance abuse and rediscovering his identity.
“Dumaan ako sa buhay na magulo, buhay na puro bisyo, yung buhay na walang pakialam sa mga tao sa paligid ko. Noong ipinasok ako ng daddy ko sa rehab, doon ko na-realize ang lahat at nakipag-reflect ako nang maayos para baguhin ko yung sarili ko. Habang nandoon ako, ibinuhos ko yung mga pinagdaanan ko sa mga sinulat kong kanta,” shared Neeyong.
“Personal Inventory” features five tracks “Yellow Corner,” “Programa,” “Recuperation,” “9/21,” and “Neon,” which were all written by Neeyong and produced by Michael Cursebox under the supervision of StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos.
“9/21” serves as the EP’s key track, which focuses on his perspective on the country’s harsh realities.
Neeyong made his music debut in 2024 with the empowering single “Agos ng Tubig,” a song about rising above negativity. The 15-year-old rapper has since shared his talent through school performances and concert guestings, drawing inspiration from artists like Gloc 9, Shanti Dope, Flow G, Hellmerry, Eminem, Tupac, Michael Jackson, and Snoop Dogg.
