The group has been in existence since 2008 in Olongapo but although the fabled home of folk and Pinoy rock has now switched its allegiance to hip-hop, it has been and still is a difficult life for the members of Hood 047. But they’re finally getting noticed in a big way, thanks to the hit single Wasted 
 For one, they all have to hold day jobs to support themselves and their families. Then, they need to keep the rap juices flowing by being together at the studio and recording what could be a big hit or more important, how they feel and what they believe in. Because of that, there are problems with wives, girlfriends, parents, etc., who are unable to understand why hip-hop is the life for Hood 047. Despite that, they just keep rapping. The problems, after all, are what makes rapping their feelings more meaningful. 
 This is the first time that they are getting noticed in a big way. This is thanks to co-rappers Soulstice of Ivana fame who hooked them up with Viva for better deals and exposure. Wasted was followed by a kindred tune about getting wasted, Alak Pa, which became the predecessor of Alak Pass, where Hood 047 warns against the evils of would you believe, alcohol, maybe also of being wasted. Well, this must be how these guys are feeling this moment.
