Gloc 9 Releases Highly Anticipated Debut Album
Dubbed as the fastest rapper in the country, GLOC 9 has recently released his self-titled debut album under recording giant Star Records. It is no secret to GLOC 9 aficionados that this guy can easily rap up to 200 words per minute. So fast yet so clear, that one can easily understand and relate to the words he is expressing.
For GLOC 9 (or Aries Pollisco in real life), rap is an expression -- an expression of both his thoughts and emotions. A story of what he went through or is still going through now, especially of what he dreams of becoming in the not so distant future. So come along, join the journey and listen to the numerous cuts in the album, to know what this artist has inside of him.
"The name Gloc 9 was given to me by a friend, Ronald Solanga of Death Threat," according to the artist himself. "It was probably associated to me because of the way I rap -- the speed, the clarity of the words," he added. Gloc 9 went on to share that, "It was when I heard the song Cold Summer Nights of Master Rapper Francis M., that I got inspired and decided to get into rapping."
The debut album of GLOC 9 contains 11 cuts, plus one bonus track. All the songs in the album were either written or co-written, arranged and produced by GLOC 9 himself. These include Sikat Na Si Pepe; Sayang; Simpleng Tao; Si Raul; Hinahanap Ng Puso, Ako Si… and the duet Bakit, which he performed with Cookie Chua for the 2002 Himig Handog Love Songs Competition.
Also included in the album are the songs GLOC 9 wrote and performed for movies - Jologs and Masama Yan from the Jologs soundtrack; Laklak (with Dong Abay) from Videoke King and Ayoko Na and Isang Araw from the soundtrack of the youth-oriented film TRIP. Isang Araw received an award for the BEST RAP RECORDING from Katha and Awit Awards.
Now with his debut album, he hopes to cement his reputation as one of the country's finest and fastest rappers. The carrier single Hinahanap ang Puso has already penetrated most of the top FM stations and is fast climbing up the charts. . The album is already out in the market and is distributed nationwide by STAR RECORDS in CDs and cassettes. |
