The Stick Figgas were formed on 2001 by four junior high school
students who shared the same passion for hip-hop music.
The members back then were Loonie, Xplizit, Tuff and part-time member
Kannabis. These four aspiring emcees kept
themselves busy by making homemade recordings of themselves over looped
beats. Then they started performing at schools and
opened up for local acts like Apokalipsis and Legit Misfitz at various
bars in Malate.They faced major challenges and and a lot of rejection during the early
stages of their career. Then after joining a local
rap contest held at Sta. Lucia and losing to rap group 9mm, an Eat
Bulaga representative
took notice of their potential and asked them if they wanted to open up
the show's new rap contest entitled: "Rappublic of
the Philippines". The trio didn't hesitate and were on national
television 3 days after the Sta. Lucia contest.The Stick Figgas went on to make the Grand Finals but lost to rap group
Koponan ni Batute. After going home with 5k as their
consolation prize, the group decided to quit rap for good and
concentrate on their studies instead.A month after the contest, group member Loonie received a text message
from FrancisM's production assistant asking them
if they wanted to appear on FrancisM's upcoming compilations and
albums. Thinking it was just a prank from other Rappublic
finalists, the Sticks didn't believe the text message at first. But
after verifying the info from an inside contact at the
T.A.P.E. office, plans changed and new group member Xquisite was
introduced to the Sticks. The Stick Figgas continued their
career without Tuff and Kannabis as both had to concentrate on their
studies.They began recording professionally at the age of 16. Production for
Rappublic of the Philippines started on September 2002.
The compilation was released a year after. They toured different SM
Mall branches across Luzon, appeared on radio and
television to promote the Rappublic of the Philippines Vol. 1 and Vol.
