Last December 3, 2025, Billboard Philippines brought together the biggest names in OPM for Off The Charts: The Top Artists of 2025, a celebratory night honoring the chart-topping artists and bands who defined the Filipino music landscape this year. The event recognized groundbreaking contributions across genres, with one of the night’s standout moments being Shanti Dope’s recognition as Billboard’s No. 4 Artist of 2025—a testament to his undeniable impact and influence on the local scene.
A cornerstone of Filipino hip-hop and rap, Shanti Dope continues to push the culture forward through consistency, authenticity, and creative drive. Throughout 2025, he maintained an impressive streak of monthly releases, delivering tracks such as “YG Gang,” “No Snitches,” “No Sleep,” “Tunay,” “Kukuhanin Ko,” “Pusher,” “Rehab,” “Industriya,” “8000,” and “Kwintas.” Each release reinforced his reputation as an artist who speaks directly to his generation while elevating the sound and storytelling of OPM rap.
This milestone-filled year was further marked by a series of Spotify achievements. Shanti Dope landed at No. 7 on Spotify’s Most Streamed Filipino Artists of 2025, secured the No. 17 spot on Spotify Top Artists of 2025 Philippines, and saw his track “City Girl” rank No. 27 on Spotify Top Tracks of 2025 Philippines—solidifying his position among the country’s most-streamed and most-celebrated artists.
As Shanti Dope continues to raise the bar for Filipino hip-hop, fans are encouraged to keep supporting the rap phenom by streaming his latest releases, now available on all major music platforms.
