For this session, we welcome back Bayani, a powerhouse emcee whose pen hits as hard as his lyrics— he is a Filipino rapper representing New York City with pride and purpose. He blends sharp lyricism, gritty boom-bap sensibilities, and an unapologetically honest voice in today’s hip hop scene.

But his creativity doesn’t stop with music—he’s also the mind behind his own comic book superhero, inspired by his roots and the concept of everyday heroism. His character captures the heart of the word “Bayani,” meaning hero in Filipino—someone who stands up for the people, fights for what’s right, and carries culture on his back. Tap in to catch up with all the amazing things that he’s up to today. IG @bayani.nyc @forecastedpodcast @memphreigns
