FreeIsobel (ISM's author name) leaves Wattpad
November 15, 2020
Dear fellow readers,
I regret to inform anybody who knows me that my story-writing side and my Wattpad life ends here, so 'Sandaling 50/50' is as it is now. Of course I still keep on living, but with rap music that I realized is my completely preferred attribute and comfortable mode of expression. Being part of me, my hands will never stop writing, although it is now to be consistently applied in my music independently. I will never forget and lose interest with this capability that I have and my literary knowledge. To clarify, if ever, neither I am losing interest with less support nor I am being downed with certain current events. I have also come to this decision to make up more time for my priorities and my said chosen path. As much as I am capable of and love numerable things like being a reader, an author, speaker and more, I realized that I cannot pursue them altogether otherwise I would delay a lot of responsibilities and major goals. So, I will not remove anything from here to not waste my cherished novel-writing efforts. To officially put a period, I thank you all, family, friends or mutuals, who have known, supported, interacted with me, and introduced me to colorful adventures in the form of Wattpad stories. Though not everybody appreciates hip-hop, I hope for you to understand, try and cheer independent underground me and my rap on. Farewell, from FreeIsobel to ISM.
Sincerely,
FreeIsobel

2nd Single Album: Stones of Acknowledgements-ISM and 1st Production by Keens
December 17, 2020
ISM released her trilingual (Filipino, English Korean) 2nd single album 'Stones of Acknowledgements' today. The title track for this release is 'Spark at Home' with a music video, serving as her way of thanking the many influencers who noticed her in even the littlest ways online, the people (family and friends) who truly support her, and the toxic people who forced her beyond limits throughout this year 2020 which is affected by numerous bad news and an epidemic. This comeback also marks the production debut of Keens from South Africa, who is a close friend, fellow Korean Pop fan and big brother to ISM. He volunteered to produce instrumentals or beats (for all three tracks) when she chatted him for a collaboration, that she completely appreciates and praises.

Single: Mga Panira (Interruptions)-ISM
December 24, 2020
ISM suddenly released the Filipino single 'Mga Panira (Interruptions)' today. Accordingly, ISM has been motivated to write and produce this single by the recent bad news from her country Philippines that occurred almost in the middle of the holidays, increasing the negativity of this year, which she wishes and stands against to not resume anymore, alongside many others. 'Interruptions' figuratively concludes 2020's series of negativity from personal life to overall states, disasters mixed with unrighteous human acts. The underground rapper, instead of blaming, tells of human causes and effects and these people to "ease up or fall".

2nd Album: Ghostwritten Indigo-ISM and 2nd Production by Keens
January 10, 2021
ISM released her English second album 'Ghostwritten Indigo' with most tracks produced by Keens marking his second production and three being ISM's. Keens also gave and directed the main idea and scene for the music video of title track two 'Life Act 1', while the additional scenes and the music video of title track one 'Don't Me' are of ISM's part.
'Ghostwritten Indigo' is not literally ghostwritten, as ISM writes her own lyrics which can be seen throughout the making vlogs. She used the term "ghostwritten" that pertains the way she makes her music and lyrics silently, unpredictably and from somewhere hidden. Defining hidden, all tracks in the album have various messages and their receivers. Examples are God, bad influencers, society, a "goal" somebody and even herself.

Single: Strong Independent Female-ISM
February 15, 2021
ISM just came back with the self-produced single 'Strong Independent Female'. This track connotes her heavy but strong independence both as a rapper and a female.

Single: Acapella Expression-ISM
April 5, 2021
ISM's new single 'Acapella Expression' is of directly speaking up for herself, pertaining to 'Expression'. She even used her own voice as instrumental patterns (except the drum pattern), making up the 'Acapella' side. She has become straightforward with her point of view, emphasizing the way she remains natural and different and needing not to explain herself. The underground rapper further specifies through her bars the fact of being real and herself despite apparently not being paid attention to. Overall, the lyrics say it already, and to whoever, as ISM rapped, "you comprehend", "think better", and "do your part if you really care" with "peace".

1st Collaboration Single: Ijeoma (ft. ISM) (ISM remix)-Choosy G
April 17, 2021
Originally, 'Ijeoma' is a Nigerian afro-pop love song about a couple's expression of love for each other, by Nigerian singer Choosy G and Nigerian rapper Flomzy. ISM was virtually befriended by Choosy G mid-February, knowing each other through an indie social media group. Learning of each other's skills and identification, Choosy G suggested for ISM to remix 'Ijeoma' but with her own intro and rap verse as a producer's challenge, that ISM, who never collaborated with anybody yet, despite being a different genre, and despite romantic themes not being her style and interest, immediately accepted, thus being her first collaboration single in the form of a remix.

Single: Your Nightmarish Huntress (prod. Operation O)-ISM
April 20, 2021
"If I do not let this out, it would be a moment of expression and a stern idea wasted. This is a raw truth, therefore I am to not hesitate to speak up by firing bars, and these bars are to hit and pin down the great and domineering pretenders as much as they try to cause damage like fire. I sense such beings entirely, even endure their filthy manipulation, and they fail to downgrade me. Evicting them is almost never easy especially because they literally pretend to be goody two shoes with neighbors or strangers in huge contrast to their vile nature, that it would be as if hard to believe their true colors even if their mistreated enemy proves those facts. Nonetheless, as much as I sense them, I hunt them down but with bars instead. So beware. Coincidentally, one of familiar artists from SoundCloud released a new beat and informed us by asking "Who wants to spit on this?". Operation O is an experimental beat producer and his style is like that of mine, so I responded then he let me choose from his beats. 'The Condor', one of his dark experimental beats, sounded perfect for my theme and message, hence my pick. Credits to him." -ISM

シングル: 日本語の試験：いい加減にして（orig. 虹ーシャカゾンビ)ーアイースム
Single: Japanese Test: Cut It Out (orig. Rainbow-Shakkazombie)-ISM
２０２１年5月1日
短いシングルを２つ挑戦で作りました。アイースムさんの日本語の科目の冗談の挑戦及び個人で基本的な日本語の試験としてなっています。5つ年まえにもう少し知っても、アイースムさんは日本語を大学のコースで去年正式に勉強するの始めました。アイースムさんの基本的な日本語で否定性を全部消て積極的にラップしています。
作成のブイログをユツブで見て購読して、ミッドナイトブルーブースで音楽をダウンロードして、ユナイテッドマスタスへ行ってお願いします。
A short single made out of two challenges: One as a joking dare from her Japanese subject and the latter a personal basic Japanese test. Despite already having knowledge with a few words five years ago, ISM began to formally study the language last year as part of her college course. With her basic Japanese, she rapped in a positive note to cut out anything negative.

세번째 싱글 음반: 청록 학자-아이슴 및 킨스의 세번째 제작
3rd Single Album: Scribe of Teal-ISM and 3rd Production by Keens
2021년5월17일
아이슴이 신공개를 제 3 언어 중간의 한국어 통해 만들어졌다. 지하 래퍼이자 제작자가 킨스의 2개 남았고 쓰지 않았던 악기 연주 및 아이슴의 자기 만들어졌던 악기 연주를 세번째 싱글 음반을위하여 쓰고 있었다. 신공개는 또한 킨스의 세번째 제작입니다. '청록 학자'는 또다르고 진지한 표현 진실있고 욕하지 않은 말씀 그리고 자연스러움의 중요성에 대해 드러나다. 랩 외에는 래퍼가 테마를 또다른 예술 유형 춤으로도 표현할 수 있었고 음악 영상에서 스스로 춤춰졌다. 아이슴이 제 3 언어를 개선해내고 더 많이 쓸 때도 진실 표현 및 조언을 제 3 언어 통해 동시에 주고 있습니다.

ISM just used her third language or her intermediate Korean for this new release. The underground rapper-producer had Keens's two remaining and unused beats alongside her self-produced instrumental playing for her third single album. This new release also marks Keens's third production. 'Scribe of Teal' tells of another serious expression, true and profanity-free words and the importance of being natural. Aside from rap, the rapper was also able to express but through another form of art or her own dance, as seen on the music video. As ISM improves and uses her third language more, she simultaneously provides truth, expression and advice.

More Bars to Come: ISM is 20 Now
June 20, 2021
"I am now 20 this 20th of June, 2021. It's nobody's baby ISM and I choose to be nobody's baby—staying professionally and exclusively independent and strictly free of the negative, thus performing this track of that meaning, 'Abscond', within a screen for my day. But socially, I am quite the opposite—having dear best friends and family, even making this day the best with two of them who were free to be with me safely, genuinely and merrily. That I am extremely grateful for. Overall, I am grateful for the many personal greetings, wishes and presents from the said people, other good friends, familiar faces and a few fellow artists, especially to the Father who guided me throughout this great day and will always guide everybody like me. A strong 20th year and more bars to come for me. Without forgetting, happy blessed birthday to my birthday mutuals too."

Single: Chasing 'Woo-ISM
2021년7월17일
사랑하고 목표를 노력하는 지하 래퍼이자 제작자는 '우님을 쫓다'로 잘 표현해봤다. 신곡 통해 아이슴이 목표 같은 사람을 쫓아보기로 이기고 싶으라고 하다. "연애는 제 알러지입니다 닭살 같은 거고 애초에 매우 과평가되기 때문에요. 그래도 이런 알러지 테마로 신곡을 만들어졌어요. 제 꿈 사람을 가리키는데요 사실은 이 사람이 옛날부터 좋아하는 예술가이자 영감이거든요. 고백하는 것은 7월17일 이 사람의 생일날이고 이 곡 의 공개 날짜 이유거든요. 그래서 제 말입니다 이 사람을 쫓는 듯이 제가 꿈을 열심히 닿아뵙니다."고 지하 래퍼가 했습니다.

The loving and goal-centered underground rapper-producer has expressed well in 'Chasing 'Woo'. ISM, through her new track, has said of still running after a certain person or her goal. "I am allergic to romance as I feel cringey and because of how really overrated it is in the first place. Though I made the track with this allergic theme. I am referring to my goals as this person and actually, he is my long-time favorite artist and inspiration. Confessing it, July 17 is his birthday, which is why the track is released today. So there, I am trying hard to reach my goal as if chasing somebody." says the underground rapper.

ISM sa Pagboboses Para sa Vlog ni PG Basketball
ISM on the Voice-over for PG Basketball's Vlog
Agosto 10, 2021
Dahil sa hiling ng kanyang kaibigan at kapwa tagahanga ng Koryanong pop na si PG Basketball na kilala rin bilang P Ten na siyang may akda ng ideya at liriko ng 'The Darkest World' mula sa 'Lapis Reaper', nagsilbing tinig si ISM para sa bago niyang bidyong 'Best Starting 5 of TNT TROPANG GIGA'. Kusang nagbigay-boses ang rapper na tagagawa sa iskrip ng bidyo ng kanyang kaibigan. Malaya itong mapapanood sa tsanel ni PG Basketball (tignan ang link sa ibaba).
As requested by her friend and fellow Korean pop fan PG Basketball, also known as the idea owner and lyricist of 'The Darkest World' from 'Lapis Reaper' P Ten, ISM participated in the voice-over for his new video 'Best Starting 5 of TNT TROPANG GIGA'. The rapper-producer willingly lent her voice for the script of her friend's video, which can be viewed on PG Basketball's channel (see link below).
3rd Album: Admiral vs. Society-ISM (ft. Mizz Frankie J Beatz)
November 11, 2021
"Obvious it is in my album title, though as I always want to be in detail, I shall be regarding this release. Truth be told, I, the admiral in 'Admiral vs. Society', am against a certain society. Because of how filthy, greedy, corrupted, insolent, mean, manipulative, unjust and blind it is, I fired my feelings with deep rage and might that the tracklist is this odd, dark and tough. Both music videos also signify the presence of negativity in whole regardless of time period, and in either I never let it pass nor especially triumph. I fight like what others ought to do rather than being foolishly passive then regretting every thing lost. In detail, the title tracks' music videos reveal more of this society and how a person acts or responds against it, one being a stealthy and unforeseeable presentation of action as an example and reenactment of reality whereas the latter is the bold and aggressive version that I had to hand-sew an attire in accordance with the theme fiercely inspired by a historical saga. The thirteen tracks are those that represent the various factors for this battling spirit—the society's internal and external offenses. Many they are, but negativity never wins, as always ensured by the warriors of character such as what I personify, alongside Mizz Frankie J Beatz featured in track 6."

Single: A Darkened Age-ISM
December 2, 2021
"I do consider this as a single or summarized version of my third album 'Admiral vs. Society'. This particularizes of the society's wrongs existing since the past, with the Dark Ages or Middle Ages as an old example, being the theme for the music video. There is nothing new with filth, though the fact that it continues up to the present is of course unnatural and intolerable, being the motivation for this release."

2nd Collaboration: 'Dodge Fall (prod. Vhinrous) (ft. ISM)-The Illusionist' from his 3rd Album: 'The G.O.A.T. 3'
March 18, 2022
In April last year, ISM found a collaboration forum by American underground rapper The Illusionist via Indie Amplify, who she decided to privately message regarding so after, adding in a few of her tracks as examples and as required. He accepted her entry the following day, then provided a beat, produced by Vhinrous, and the time stamps for her parts the month after. Noting that the track's theme would be up to her, she thought of 'Dodge Fall'. "I came up with the title 'Dodgefall', based on dodgeball, and it circles on how I or others can dodge or avoid the fall, problems or bad chances, especially when we seldom experience utmost happiness, such joyful moments tending to be replaced by the total opposite at times, which I or we despise." ISM wrote upon passing her recording and lyrics to The Illusionist who received it a day later with a praise of dopeness. Supposed to be part of a mixtape, The Illusionist put 'Dodge Fall' with fourteen others together instead for his third album 'The G.O.A.T. 3', setting it as the eleventh track, released almost a year after the collaboration process, 18th of March 2022.
Buy 'The G.O.A.T. 3' on Bandcamp. See album link provided below.
Single: I Don't Wanna Smile Anymore (prod. blade901)-ISM
May 24, 2022
"I have allowed my emo side to express straightly here. All my life, I have been firm and calm despite all the countless moments of various forms of abuse and trauma. I still am, unfortunately my system is as if blackened now. Everyone wants to be alright, I was optimistic by default until I thought of self-checking and ever since, I became neutral. Not that I am letting this take over me but it is the fact that every time I am on the verge of full recharge or euphoria, it so happens that something of the contrary immediately crushes it. As you all can see, I have a naturally resting bee face (RBF), which reflects my calmness or rather my whole personality. One reason for this is to not waste my energy in smiling, frowning or simply expressing, especially when I am supposed to be happy for the first time in forever but then bad news arrive or vice versa—in short, emotional readiness by neutralization, as I name it. It honestly sucks if you are otherwise and it can be quite personally humiliating too, if you get me." -ISM

Pagiging tapat ang tema ng bagong solong album ni ISM, sa pamamagitan ng alaala, damdamin at pagpupunyagi. Una, binalikan niya ang mga alaala mula sa pagkabata hanggang sa pagkadalaga. Pangalawa, nang walang kasinungalingan, ipinahayag niya ang kanyang saloobin para sa isang taong naging una sa halos lahat sa kanya. Pangatlo, nang may inspirasyon mula sa bayaning si Gabriela Silang, ipinahiwatig niya ang kanyang buhay na tutok sa paglaban at kaligtasan sa halip na pamumuhay lamang. Nagsisilbing simbolo ang kanyang bidyong tugtog para sa 'Gabriela S.' sa mga katotohanang ito, sa pamamagitan din ng paggamit ng estilong nakaraan sa bidyo, tuwid na wika sa tugtog, sariling gawang katutubong kasuotan ng Pilipinas at armas na umaayon sa tema.

Truthfulness is the theme of ISM's new single album, in the form of memories, feelings and struggles. First, she went back through her moments from childhood to maturity. Second, without a single lie, she expressed her thoughts about someone who turned out to be her first for almost everything. Third, with inspiration taken from a local heroine Gabriela Silang, she lyrically depicted her life of fights and survival over living. Her 'Gabriela S.' music video serves as a symbol of these truths, also with the incorporation of past styles in the video, direct language in music, her self-made pre-colonial Philippine attire and a weapon correlated to the theme.

Official Name Change: Isbi Cror

"Isbi Cror of the underground, good day to you all. I am no longer ISM but Isbi Cror. I recently found out that there are a lot of artists across the world who share the stage name ISM aside from me. Also, there was this one incident wherein my Youtube channel accidentally autogenerated a release which is not mine but another artist called ISM, suggesting that I must alter my artist name already to prevent so from occurring again. This means that I would have to replace my logo, links, audio mark and profiles as well. I came up with Isbi Cror, taking a while. Isbi Cror is taken as the shortened form of 'Isobel, Crowned Warrior', a personal alias that signifies my right to my own crown and an army of myself formed by external factors. Making this official, all changes have been applied from my artist profile up to my character (in my coldest and strictest form), and my new links are available on my website Midnight Blue Booth. Thank you for your understanding and bless you all."

"Hesitant I often am in voicing this one point of life, until I snapped out of the darkness by now systematically applying the lessons from the manipulative, deceiving, disregarding and treacherous obstacles that tend to recall all their reoccurrences-turned-traumas. In under 29 minutes and 3 seconds, seemingly my average songwriting duration, I finally had the assertiveness in mainly writing about a first-for-almost-everything or almost-pair, which I preferred to not open up of to steer clear of potentially misguided issues. This is the same theme of the track 'Zero Lies' from 'The Arctic Truth' but more experience-centered than just psychological. Yes, I am aromantic, which is why I am disinterested in dating or having relationships, although I absolutely appreciate the gift of formal union, that this is my first and only moment of deeply mutual bloom. After everything that heavily passed, we would normally long for comfort, we would just want to be actually cared for and kept in opposition to what we had gone through, and that one did come closer, unexpectedly as if serving the self with love and compassionate abilities, until it did not age well and turned out to be another storm that eventually took my heart, trust, attachment and smile away. I also did not think that the blue tunes (like those of the Filipino alternative rock band December Avenue and the song titles featured in the last bars of the third verse), quotes, scenarios and places (like the "milk tea shack of his village") would be totally relatable for me now that I have already experienced something but just without a tag. Despite the events, I regret them not, otherwise I would not learn and improve sooner. Out of this short-lived psychological connection came the heedful, strict, neutral and naturally formal me, that fully took over the second I released the blackening weight out of me. With these countless challenges yearly in my way, fighting them is like a preparation "for Valhalla" and it felt best to be honorably slain amid it, but then I survived once again. " -Isbi Cror
