Filipino rap icon Gloc-9 is back with a brand new album, “Sari-Sari Story,” produced by the illustrious pillar of OPM, Raymund Marasigan. This remarkable album, recorded in just over six weeks before Gloc-9 embarked on an Australia concert tour, is proof of the rapper’s unparalleled talent and dedication to his craft of creating songs that will touch lives.
“Sari-Sari Story” is a collection of ten tracks, each one a narrative gem that showcases Gloc-9’s masterful storytelling. The album’s release strategy was as dynamic as its content, with three tracks dropping during the first week of June and another three following in the subsequent week. This staggered release allowed fans to savor each story, building anticipation and excitement for the full album which dropped this June 21st on all digital streaming platforms.
Gloc-9, whose real name is Aristotle Pollisco, shared that the inspiration for “Sari-Sari Story” came from the multitude of stories he has heard over the years and his own playful imagination. He was able to write so many songs in the past, but this album felt special. It’s like a patchwork of different tales and characters that he came across or imagined.
