Talking about the themes behind Mapulz, rapper, songwriter Tony Sebastian aka Stony Psyko shares. “We always address our friend as a brother. The relation in between two Mapulz is more than that. Both the journey in our lives and music has been challenging and exciting to us. All the hard times only made us stronger. We wanted to share this experience with you thru our music. While searching for a good name for the Album we decided to go with the name Mapul as it defines our friendship, brotherhood, family, loyalty and respect for each other. We used to call each other Mapul since day one way before than Dopeadelicz was created. Dopeadelicz was established when these Mapulz decided to share their dreams and aimed for a single goal. Mapulz is not just a word to define friendship, But an emotion to express your love and respect for each other. To all my Mapulz, we will rise thru all the pain and make it rain.”
