Gloc-9 Unveils Heart-Wrenching Tale of Cherished Memories in New Single “Ala”



The ever-prolific songwriter Gloc-9 has a new song out and it’s called “Ala.” The fresh single is something deeply emotional and it masterfully weaves together themes of love, family, and the fragility of memory.

The title "Ala" is a playful yet effective wordplay of the Filipino word "alaala," meaning memories, which serves as the heart of this storytelling narrative.

In "Ala," Gloc-9 takes listeners on a journey through the life of a man who reflects on the cherished memories of his love story, from meeting his partner, building a family, to growing old together. The song begins with a celebration of life’s milestones, capturing the joy of marriage and the blessing of children. As the years pass, the couple's bond remains strong, even as their children move away, leaving them with only each other.

The narrative takes a heart-wrenching turn as the man begins to experience symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, a condition that slowly erodes his memories. Gloc-9's lyrics vividly depict the fear and confusion that come with the diagnosis, as well as the heartbreak of forgetting the very people and moments that once defined his life. The verses are filled with raw emotion, portraying the man's struggle to hold onto the memories that are slipping away, and the pain of his family as they watch him fade.

The rap song effectively depicts the inevitability of time and the importance of treasuring every moment with loved ones. The track serves as a reminder of the beauty and sorrow that memories hold, making "Ala" a standout piece in Gloc-9's growing discography.

The song is part of the latest New Music Friday Philippines and Bago sa Kalye playlists on Spotify.

LYRICS

Ala by Gloc-9

Hook:

Puwede ko pa bang balikan
Lahat ng mga ala ala
Nong kapiling ka at wala nang ibang nais makasama

I

Nag kakilala tayo
Sinabi sa sarili na malayo
Man ay palagi kong ilalapit sayo
Ang puso na ikaw lang ang syang tanging minahal

At kinasal nga tayo
Nagsama ng matiwasa’y at lalong
Tumibay ang pag ibig sa isa’t isa
Hiling ko na mabibiyayaan tayo ng anak
Panganay si rujelio tapos ay nasundan criselda pancho lito
Aabot pa ng ilan
Karen at Joselito Susan Leslie at Levan walang di matatandaan

Puwede ko pa bang balikan
Lahat ng mga ala ala
Nong kapiling ka at wala nang ibang nais makasama
Makayakap lang
habang dumadaan
Panahong na aking binabalikan
mga alalala

II

Nung tumanda na tayo
Lahat sila ay nandun sa malayo
Ang meron lamang tayo ay isat isa
Ramdam ko na
Tila may di tama sa daan

Rap

Nahilo ako at tila tutumba
Kita ko sa mata mo ang pag aalala
Agad sinabi mo sakin bukas mag patingin ka na
Malakas naman ako kaya nag tataka

Sinamahan mo ako pagod lang wala to
Tapos ay pinatawag tayo dok sa kwarto
Ano pong resulta di ba delikado
Di pa nya masabi nung una parang barado

alzheimer's ano yun kainan?
May taning na ba ‘ko sabihin mo kung kailan
Di kaya itong gamot baka dapat na palitan
Wala akong bisyo ano ang pwedeng dahilan
Hindi ka pa mamamatay kaso lang ano
Maraming mga bagay ang malilimutan mo
Dahan dahan yan di agad agad ito
Sinasabi ko sayo para mapag handaan mo
Nag patuloy tayo na parang di naganap yun
Ang pigilang mahalin kita hindi sapat yun
Sinulit ang lahat ng dumaang okasyon
Susundo ako sayo teka anong oras yun?
Anong araw ngayon kaarawan ko ba?
Nasaan ako teka sino ka?
Bakit ka naka yakap sakin umiiyak ka pa
Bitawan mo ako kilala ba kita?

Tay ako po si rojelio
Panganay nyong anak
Criselda pacho lito
Na iyak lang ng iyak
Karen at joselito Susan Leslie Levan
Sanay iyong matandaan..

Puwede ko pa bang balikan
Lahat ng mga ala ala
Nong kapiling ka at wala nang ibang nais makasama
Makayakap lang
habang dumadaan
Panahong na aking binabalikan
mga alalala

Gloc-9’s "Subok Lang" Is a Testament to Perseverance and Determination


Throughout his journey in the music industry, Gloc-9 has faced tons of struggles and challenges. His new song is called "Subok Lang," suggests an attitude of perseverance and determination despite obstacles.

The lyrics also touch on the challenges and risks involved in pursuing a career in music, such as uncertainty and criticism. Gloc-9 mentions the need to remain steadfast and resilient, especially when faced with danger or opposition.

"Subok Lang" is a testament to Gloc-9's resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to keep pushing forward, no matter the challenges they may encounter, and to believe in their own abilities to overcome the hassles.

This latest offering by Gloc-9 is part of the New Music Friday Philippines playlist on Spotify.

Just days ago, our paboritong Makata also dropped the official performance video of “Walang Pumapalakpak” along with the one and only Gary Valenciano. It easily became a trending video under music on YouTube and has almost 500,000 views as of this writing. (WATCH HERE)

The said song is part of his ‘Pilak’ album which marks his 25th year in the music industry. The veteran rapper was also part of "PAGTATAG!" finale concert by SB19 held at the Araneta Coliseum.

Subok Lang by Gloc-9

Laban pa ba subukan natin
na kamadahin
Ang mga letra na sinulat ko
Tunog na aking inihain
Di pa madami
Ang syang dumudura ng ganito
Ngayon ay nandyan na sila
Nakakatuwa
Tila nag bungang mga tanim na punla
Kaya pa kaya na aking magawa
Kahit isang subok lang

I
Hindi mo naisip na makakagawa pa ako ng kanta na halos hindi ka na makahinga
Tuwing nadidinig mo ang mga sinasabi palaging madaming dala dala mula sa kabila
Bata na dumayo galing ng malayo
Hindi man nanaloy garantisado
Na Tatabo sa huli
Baradong lababo
Sino ang ganado
Kapag delikadoy di alanganin di nag aatubiling
Na lumapag kapag rumekta
Mga salitang lumalatay pag kumunekta
Sa mikroponoy may kakaiba ka na pwesra
Kahit di nakasanayan ang salitang get high
Lumipad kasi sinipagan ang pagaspas
Nilabanan pinakamalalas na lagaslas
Nagpakilala hanggang sa pangalay nagasgas
Makatang mahilig na pumaspas
Tubong binangonan napunta sa qc
Matinis na boses tila sumigaw na bruce lee
Dilang madulas parang may wd40
Kumusta ka na sabi ko palaging mabuti
Kasi ang galing
Napapraning
Sabay iling
Pag ako na ang tumalak
Parang di ka nagkakamali
Tumatahi
Ginagapi
Kataga na lumalagapak
Sa tagal ng panahon na dumaan
Di ko na binilang ang sugat na tinalupan ng langib
Kahit na subukan nating balikan
Pipigilan ang sarili ko na sa akin ay bumilib
Mawalang galang na sa mga walang
Tiwala maniwala ka wala akong hindi itataya
Pagkat wala namang laman ang bulsa ko nung umpisa nito
baon koy higit pa sa isang salita
Walang dapat ikahiya

Laban pa ba subukan natin
Na kamadahin
Ang mga letra na sinulat ko
Tunog na aking inihain
Di pa madami
Ang syang dumudura ng ganito
Ngayon ay nandyan na sila
Nakakatuwa
Tila nag bungang mga tanim na punla
Kaya pa kaya na aking magawa
Kahit isang subok lang
Ngayon ay nandyan na sila
Nakakatuwa
Tila nag bungang mga tanim na punla
Kaya pa kaya na aking magawa
Kahit isang subok lang

Gloc-9 Has A New Propelling Single “Di Umiinom” Featuring Hero

Our Paboritong Makata moves along his lyrical journey with what will be his Pilak album, a musical celebration to mark his 25 illustrious years in the Philippine music industry.
Before the month of August ends, Gloc-9 unveils "Di Umiinom", the 5th single for this upcoming anniversary album and this time around, he shares limelight with Hero, another young buck in the Asintada Management's stable of talents.

Sometimes when someone gets badly hurt and reaches their breaking point, they tend to perform deeds that they don’t usually do, or haven’t done before. Perhaps that act is a coping mechanism to escape all the pain and sadness that they feel. That’s how the song “Di Umiinom” was formulated by the veteran rapper.

In this special track, he taps the rising hip-hop star Hero to further elevate the overall vibe with his technical bars and carefully honed rhymes. Their tandem’s verses are captivating, intoxicating, infused with gloom as they address the sad and painful story with utmost conviction. Truly, the theme of this song is something fresh and something that the one and only Makata Sa Pinas haven’t attempted in the past, a reason he is very much excited for this release. Moreover, Thyro Alfaro once again delivered the goods and provided awesome mixing and arrangement.

This special release comes alongside a vibrant music video directed and edited by Aaron Maagma. (WATCH HERE)

Since Gloc-9 embarked on a US tour for the OPM Summerfest events there along with other iconic local acts, he was no longer able to film his parts here in the Philippines. However, because of the sheer dedication to his craft, our Paboritong Makata found a way to deliver his parts for the music video, special thanks to Mark Escueta, who's band Rivermaya was in the concert series with him. They shot it during the New York leg of the tour using his trusty Samsung S22+ or in his own words “Para-paraan lang talaga.” On the other hand, Hero's parts were filmed at Tipsy Pig in Quezon City.

This is the third collaboration between the Gloc-9 and Hero, with the previous two garnering more than 1.2 million in YouTube viewership. "Di Umiinom" is now streaming on all digital platforms under Universal Records.

Gloc-9 Has A Confession To Make In His New Single “Kumpisal” Featuring Skusta Clee

The one and only Makata Sa Pinas Gloc-9 is releasing yet another single this May! This new song is called "Kumpisal", the Filipino rap icon’s third release for his Pilak album in celebration of his 25th anniversary in the Philippine music industry. Joining him in this string-fueled and vibrant collaboration is Skusta Clee, who’s undoubtedly one of the most popular rap artists on the OPM scene today.

Written and composed by Gloc-9 with musical arrangement, mixed, and mastered by Thyro Alfaro, "Kumpisal" looks into the dynamics of the Catholic sacrament of confession from the perspective of a confessee.

The lyrics? It’s classic Gloc-9 in his prime that you’ve always loved — bathed in cryptic wordplay and ethereally anthemic that even this mundane topic can transform into a poetic masterpiece. Gloc-9 said that he already wrote different songs on various topics, but releasing a song about religion and spirituality? Not yet. Thus, this song was carefully crafted and was made possible this year.

Joining the veteran hip-hop superstar in this latest endeavor is Skusta Clee and this the second time that these two rap idols have collaborated. Their first pairing was in Skusta Clee's single "Karma" wherein the Gloc-9 wrote the rap part. Its official music video released last November 2021 now has over 27 million views on YouTube and even reached #1 Trending For Music.

An official music video for “Kumpisal” is released alongside the single. The zany visual directed by Kirby Balagtas of YouMeUs MNL was shot inside a church with guest appearances by Shanti Dope, DJ Klumcee and Hellmerry. The exclusive premiere of the music video transpired during the intimate “Kumpisal” press conference inside a classy movie theater. (WATCH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE)

Prior to this release, Gloc-9 was able to drop singles “Paliwanag” with Yeng Constantino and the title “Pilak” as part of his 25th anniversary album. Check out "Kumpisal" on your favorite music streaming platforms.

Gloc-9 returns with "TULAy"!

GLOC-9 "TULAy" EP PUSHES THE OPM SCENE FURTHER



With years of hardwork and countless of hits under his belt, the name Gloc-9 has become synonymous to Rap Icon in the OPM Industry. This 2019, Gloc-9 returns with "TULAy" a new EP that brings new music from the rapper and pushes the OPM scene even further. 

As its name suggests, Gloc-9 brings two concepts together in "TULAy" — it is a play on the tagalog words "tula" (poem) and "tulay" (bridge), both terms signifying what the rapper wants to embody in this EP. For one, hip-hop is at the forefront as Gloc showcases his skills in writing hard-hitting and socially relevant verses, also experimenting with new styles and flows. 



But it does not stop there — while the beloved rap icon pushes his music forward, he also uses the EP as a platform to introduce young blood to the OPM scene. 





All five tracks bring forth a collaboration between Gloc-9 and one or more emerging OPM artists. Tracks featured include "Maleta", the first collab between him and singer-songwriter Julie Anne San Jose, "Lagi" featuring rising OPM act Al James, "Pamaypay" with Tawag ng Tanghalan-alum and R&B singer JKris, and "Sino" featuring Abaddon and Smugglaz. Rounding up the EP is "Totoo" featuring Zjay and Lirah Bermudez.




With his passion for writing and creating relevant hits, and his dedication to bring the OPM scene to the forefront, it's no wonder that Gloc-9 continues to stay on top of his game. 

TULAy EP is now available for streaming on iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, and Amazon Music under Universal Records.
