Gloc-9, Ramdiss, Hero release new Spotify single ‘Umaga’

Clipboard

Manila flow masters Gloc-9, Ramdiss, and Hero recently joined forces for their latest Spotify Singles track, “Umaga,” which was released last October 28 on the music streaming app. Their latest single is part of KALYE X––an initiative of Spotify that highlights Pinoy hip-hop through meaningful collaborations with artists and various communities.

The song has already had more than 25,000 thousand plays in less than three days.

The song is the final track of the three first-ever original Filipino hip-hop Spotify Singles––alongside “Wa Na Wa” and “Kendeng.” The final track packs a punch with its unapologetic message on embracing one’s individuality.

Apart from the powerful beats and lyrics, “Umaga” is a raw and fearless anthem that encourages its listeners to break free from the various expectations of society. Though the three artists have different backgrounds, they came together to create art in the form of the latest track.

“I love writing songs about real stories and struggles of people, and being able to capture what we go through every day. As an artist, I want my music to resonate with everyone, hip-hop fan or not. That is why I take pride in creating songs that tell people’s stories like what we did here for our Spotify Single, ‘Umaga,’” Gloc-9 shared.

“I take pride in the lessons I've learned from those who laid the foundation for rap music in the Philippines. At tulad ng dati, ay patuloy akong magiging alagad ng rap at habambuhay akong makikibaka para sa kapakanan ng lirisismo at sining,” Ramdiss added.

Meanwhile, Hero expressed how grateful he is for Spotify as they let him inspire others through music the way he was able to get inspired when he was younger.

“I also love seeing people get inspired by my songs. I'm grateful that Spotify helps artists like us reach a wider audience, enable collaborations with great talents, and open new doors. Wala akong hinangad kundi gumawa nang gumawa ng awitin at hindi ko naman inaasahan na dito ako dadalhin ng bagay na minahal kong gawin.” he shared.

Gloc-9, Ramdiss, and Hero recently performed “Umaga” live for the first time ever during the KALYE X Manila which was held at the Circuit Events Ground in Makati City last October 28.
