Barq turns grind into power on the heavy-hitting ‘TUMATAK’ — watch

Barq is back with a heavy-hitting new anthem.

The rising rapper, born Arkin Magalona, has dropped ‘TUMATAK’ via Sony Music Entertainment — a thunderous track that doubles as a manifesto on risk, resilience, and building a legacy that lasts.

Anchored by booming production and razor-sharp lyricism, ‘TUMATAK’ sees Barq reflect on his journey as a young artist navigating pressure and expectation. “It’s all about leaving your mark on the world,” he shares, adding that impact goes beyond fame — it’s about creating something worth remembering .

Recorded at Doppla Studio and produced by longtime collaborator Denz A.K.A D. Vaughn, the track blends commanding beats with textured samples, even incorporating a vocal element from his previous collab ‘Career High’ featuring Migswell.'

Inspired in part by the energy of ‘Gold On My Teeth’ by ClicKlak and Isaiah Falls, the single marks what Barq calls “the same Barq, but a different bite.”
