**Siantar Rap Foundation** is a dynamic hip-hop collective hailing from Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra, known for blending gritty rap flows with cultural pride and social commentary. Rooted in their Batak heritage, the group often infuses traditional elements like *gondang* rhythms or Toba Batak language into their tracks, creating a sound that’s both locally resonant and universally relatable. Over the years, they’ve become go-to collaborators for Indonesian filmmakers, crafting original soundtracks for movies like *Anak Medan*, *Sang Penggali Kubur*, and *Negeri Para Ketua*—their music adding raw, narrative-driven energy to these films.
Tracks like *Terus Berjalan* and *Hey Kawan* showcase their knack for anthemic, community-focused hooks, while releases such as *Sapata* and *15.23* dive deeper into introspective storytelling. Whether they’re tackling societal issues or celebrating their roots, Siantar Rap Foundation keeps their lyrics sharp and their beats bold, cementing their role as grassroots ambassadors of Sumatran hip-hop.
