Following their hit “8000WABAD,” Delinquent Society returns with the new single “Certified,” an anthem celebrating pride, roots, and rising success in Davao and beyond.
From the streets of Davao City to international stages, Delinquent Society continues to rise—this time with a powerful new statement. “Certified” arrives as the unapologetic follow-up to their breakout hit “8000WABAD,” reinforcing exactly who they are and where they come from.
Rooted in “8000,” the postal code that defines their hometown and identity, Delinquent Society wears their origins with pride. For them, it is more than a number. It is proof, a loyalty—a lived experience. With “Certified,” the group makes it clear: recognition is not requested—it is earned.
Written in a seamless fusion of Bisaya, Tagalog, and English, “Certified” reflects the authentic voice of the streets. The single refuses to dilute itself for trends or international packaging. Instead, it embraces the raw, multilingual reality of their environment. The result is unfiltered, confident, and direct.
“The title isn’t just a flex. It’s a declaration of credibility. If you’re really from here, you don’t need to explain yourself—you’re already certified,” the group shared. Yet despite their increasing visibility, the group remains grounded in their core message: authenticity above all. “Certified isn’t just about Davao,” they explain.
It’s for anyone who reps where they’re from with pride. Hood to hood, city to city—if your presence is real, it doesn’t need validation.
Rising Local Talent, Going Global
The release follows the growing momentum of “8000WABAD,” which has amassed nearly 700,000 streams on Spotify. Beyond streaming numbers, Delinquent Society also expanded their reach with a performance at Bangkok Music City in Thailand, introducing their sound to new international audiences. These milestones mark a steady climb, both locally and globally.
Looking ahead, Delinquent Society is preparing to drop the official music video for “Certified.” Described as chaotic, humorous, and unpredictable, the visual promises to mirror the track’s high-energy spirit. It blurs the line between flex and fever dream—foreign, disorienting, and wild—while keeping their identity intact.
No matter the stage or the spotlight, Delinquent Society carries “8000” with them. Wherever they go, they remain exactly what they claim to be—“Certified.”
