From Davao Streets to Global Stages

Most artists spend their entire careers trying to “make it out.” Delinquent Society? They’re bringing the “out” back home. After the massive explosion of “8000WABAD”—which racked up nearly 700k streams on Spotify and took them all the way to Bangkok Music City—the boys are back.

But don’t expect a “radio-friendly” pivot. Their new track, “Certified,” is a raw, high-octane reminder that they don’t need a seat at the table when they’ve already built their own.

No Translation Needed: The Power of Trilingual Truth

One of the dopest things about “Certified” is how it refuses to compromise. The lyrics flow effortlessly between Bisaya, Tagalog, and English. It’s not a gimmick; it’s a reflection of how life actually sounds in Davao. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and it’s unapologetically local. They aren’t chasing “international appeal” by diluting their sound—they’re forcing the world to catch up to their dialect.

What Does it Mean to be “Certified”?

In their own words: “The title isn’t just a flex. It’s a declaration of credibility.” For Delinquent Society, the number 8000 isn’t just a postal code or a cool graphic for a t-shirt. It’s the dirt under their fingernails and the loyalty in their circle. To be “Certified” means your presence is felt before you even speak. It’s that quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly where you stand, whether you’re in a Davao alley or a neon-lit stage in Thailand.

A Fever Dream is Coming: The Music Video

If you think the track hits hard, wait until you see the visuals. Word on the street is the upcoming music video for “Certified” is a blend of chaos and humor—a “fever dream” that blurs the line between a victory lap and total unpredictability. It’s wild, it’s disorienting, and it’s 100% them.

The Verdict: Whether you’re repping the 8000 or holding it down in another city, “Certified” is the anthem for anyone who knows that real recognize real. No validation required.
