Gloc-9’s “Kakampi” Is For Those Who’ve Got Your Back


Life’s a rollercoaster, but when you’ve got the right person by your side, every twist and turn feels a little easier. That’s the vibe behind “Kakampi,” the latest track from Gloc-9, Abaddon, and Hero. The word “kakampi” means “ally,” and this song is all about being that ride-or-die partner who sticks with you through thick and thin.

Following Gloc-9’s previous release “Bonethugs,” which explored misunderstandings and quarrels in relationships, “Kakampi” serves as a reminder that at the end of the day, partners are allies who have each other’s backs: "Ramdam ko ang nasa loob, tandaan mo ang ikaw ay ako. Ang pangako'y pang-hawakan mo dahil sumpa ko yan sa'yo, ako'y kakampi mo."

The track is a tribute to the person you can always rely on and grow with, the chorus highlights that perfectly: “Malalampasan din natin ang lahat ng 'to. Walang hindi kaya, basta tayo'y mag-kasama. Pahinga lang saglit, huminga't pumikit. Tapos laban ulit, gano'n tayo kalupit. Mas madaling lumaban, mas matindi 'pag tayo ay mag-kakampi.”

“Kakampi” is out now on all major streaming platforms. Whether you’re in a relationship or you just want to remind someone special that you’ve got their back, this song is the perfect anthem for sticking together no matter what.

“Kakampi”

Gloc-9, Abaddon, Hero


Gloc-9 verse

Ramdam ko ang nasa loob, tandaan mo ang ikaw ay ako

Ang pangako'y pang-hawakan mo dahil sumpa ko yan sa'yo

(Ako'y kakampi mo)


Kapag ayaw ko nang tumaya, ikaw ang meron ko sa wala

Mahahanap kahit pumikit, mabulag man ay makakapa

Bingi ma'y ngalan mo lang ang tunog, laman ng pusong lumalagabog

Ikaw ang siyang tanging sumasagip, sa ganda mo ako'y lumulubog

Alam kong hindi madali, tanaw ko kung sa'n ka nang-gagaling

'Pag naligaw ay uuwi lagi sa pag-mamahalan natin


Chorus

Malalampasan din natin ang lahat ng 'to

Walang hindi kaya, basta tayo'y mag-kasama

Pahinga lang saglit, huminga't pumikit

Tapos laban ulit, gano'n tayo kalupit

Mas madaling lumaban

Mas matindi 'pag tayo ay mag-kakampi


Abaddon verse

Hindi mo maitatago sa'kin ang takot sa'yong mga mata

Ano ka ba? ramdam na ramdam kita

Pa'no kung 'to na yung dulo? kahit pa na mag-tulungan tayo

Alam kong duda ka din minsan


Ang dami mong tanong, na simple ang sagot

Walang bibitaw, yan ang usapan, 'lagi lang palag

Oh huwag kang kabahan, 'di ka pababayaan

Eh ano kung madapa, mahalaga ay mag-kasama


Kahit sa'n pa tayo dal'hin ng mga desisyon

Tama o mali man, ating panindigan

Ilang beses na tayong sinubukan

Kaya 'di para sukuan, tagusin nating sabay ang kabiguan


Chorus

Malalampasan din natin ang lahat ng 'to

Walang hindi kaya, basta tayo'y mag-kasama

Pahinga lang saglit, huminga't pumikit

Tapos laban ulit, gano'n tayo kalupit

Mas madaling lumaban

Mas matindi 'pag tayo ay mag-kakampi


Hero verse

Ilang beses na ba tayong sinubok ng tadhana?

Nabibigo, nalilito pero ang mahalaga nandito parin

Gano'n tayo katibay


Walang hindi kakayanin, lalo no'ng inalay ang buhay mo sa'kin

Walang ibang hangarin kung'di ang makabawi at tabihan ka sa

Mga oras na kinakailangan ng karamay sa kalungkutan


Nandito ako para malapitan, sa hirap o ginhawa asahan

Kasama mo 'ko sa kaduluduluhan, huwag kang mangangamba

Huwag kang mag-alinlangan

Hanggang sa magawa nating permanente ang panandalian na kaligayahan dahil


Chorus

Malalampasan din natin ang lahat ng 'to

Walang hindi kaya, basta tayo'y mag-kasama

Pahinga lang saglit, huminga't pumikit

Tapos laban ulit, gano'n tayo kalupit

Mas madaling lumaban

Mas matindi 'pag tayo ay mag-kakampi


Outro

Mas madali 'pag tayo ay mag-kakampi

Tayo'y mag-kakampi

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

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

Something
Julie Anne San Jose  

I

there’s something about the way
you look into my eyes
it gets me every time
can’t get you off my mind

you dont have to be alone
we can get away
lose your inhibitions
give me your attention

the more i resist the more i fall
i want you to stay
and even tho i try to walk away

i wouldn’t want it any other way
before i begin to let you in
i want to be sure
i dont know, but it feels so right

i just want you here
with me, with me
i just want you here
with me, with me
Baby, I just want you here

II

sabihin sa akin ibig mong ipahiwatig
bigyan ng halaga ang bawat salita
pano kung maging tiyak
mga baka sakali

Basta't linawin lang ang iyong nais
sa bawat oras ay ikaw lang ang hanap ko
kahit na piliting lumayo, iwasan na mahulog sa iyo
tuwing ang puso’y napapagal ika’y nariyan
pagmamahal mo ay pagbibigyan

dito ka saking tabi
lagi, lagi
dito ka sakin tabi
lagi, lagi


III

wag lisanin ang tabi
yakapin natin bawat sandali
Di na kailangan pang pigilan
ating nararamdaman

IV

sa bawat oras ay ikaw lang ang hanap ko
kahit na piliting lumayo, iwasan na mahulog sa iyo
before i begin to let you in
i want to be sure
i dont know, but it feels so right

i just want you here
with me, with me
i just want you here
with me, with me

dito ka saking tabi
Dito ka mamalagi

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.

Julie Anne San Jose And Gary Valenciano Take Their Collaboration To New Heights In New Song “Di Ka Akin


The Asia's Limitless Star and Mr. Pure Energy are joining forces for a collaboration.

That’s right, Julie Anne San Jose and Gary Valenciano have a new melodic single called “Di Ka Akin” released under Universal Records.

Celebrated as two of UR’s most sought-after artists for many years, this collaboration surely is a treat to their long-time fans. The track features a hypnotic mellow vibe, giving listeners an opportunity to really just let out their emotions during the times that they feel like they can’t move on from a lost love.

“Di Ka Akin” also marks as the first release after Universal Records Philippines announced its official partnership with Singapore-based music label Cross Ratio Entertainment. The partnership aims to strengthen and promote Southeast Asian music around the globe and bridge the gap between artists and audiences in neighboring countries, bringing them closer to new and existing fans in the SEA region.


The gorgeous pop ballad with Julie Anne’s writing and vocals on full display easily impressed Gary V., a reason why he said Yes to this collaboration in a heartbeat. For the OPM icon, an excellent artist like JAPS does not come very often and you really don’t want to miss an opportunity like this. And if you ask Julie Anne who wrote this song last year, she still finds the whole experience about this collaboration a dream come true.

“Di Ka Akin” is part of the New Music Friday Philippines playlist on Spotify this week.
