Gloc-9, or “Aristotle/Aries” in real life is a rap artist with R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y.

While many rap and hip-hop artists attain fame by shouting out the latest obscenities, Gloc-9 makes it his mission to bring a more positive message to his audience. Whether in the native Filipino language or English, his music speaks of experiences that can be learned from. Gloc9’s lyrics are as real as you can get, yet dishes out a bit of wisdom for those who care to listen closer. His music is life education wrapped in a package that is dynamic and conversational, making him what he is as an artist – 2005 and 2006’s Philippine Hiphop Awards Rap Artist of The Year.

Catch his tracks from his CD-lite “Limang Kanta Lang”. Compositions include “Ano Sa Tingin Mo” and “Excuse Me Po”. Gloc9’s shout-out to the youth can be summed up by one track entitled “Ako Ay Ikaw Rin” – He believes that what he’s achieved as an artist is no different from what others can achieve if given the same circumstances.

Watch out for his album to be released in March 2007 with the carrier single “Lando”, under Sony BMG Records.
