About this Song
The Rizal province port town of Binangonan, located along the shores of Laguna de Bay just outside Manila’s dense urban core, nurtured Aristotle Pollisco, the trailblazer known professionally as Gloc-9, whose work sits at the intersection of the Philippines’ iconic Pinoy hip-hop legacy and the cross-pollinated pop landscape that carries his music to audiences across generations. Quinta, the pop recording rooted in this rich Filipino artistic lineage, draws from decades of deliberate evolution that have shaped Gloc-9’s approach to merging sharp, distinctive vocal craft with cross-genre flourishes that have won him equal parts underground credibility and mainstream acclaim throughout his decades-long career. Pollisco first cut his teeth in Manila’s burgeoning underground hip-hop scene, honing his skills as a member of the gangsta rap collective Death Threat, where he developed the technical precision that would become his signature for every subsequent project.
