Filipino rapper Gloc-9, whose real name is Aristotle Pollisco, was honored with the MYX Magna Award at the MYX Music Awards 2024 on November 21. 

Gloc-9 was surprised by the recognition as he was initially announced as one of the award presenters.

“With the career spanning over 25 years, our Magna awardee has not been afraid to tackle social injustice, poverty and patriotism. In his songs, he has become the voice of the voiceless,” said singer and actress Regine Velasquez who presented the award to the rapper.

Gloc-9 then expressed his gratitude, saying: “Maraming salamat. I always say na hanapin mo lagi kung ano yung mahal mo. Kapag nakita mo, pilitin mo hanapin agad. Hanapin mo ng maaga para pwede mo siyang ipaglaban ng matagal, ingatan ng matagal at mahalin ng matagal hanggang sa dumating yung panahon na mamahalin ka niya. Maraming salamat, MYX! Thank you so much.”

During the ceremony, MYX held a special tribute for Gloc-9, featuring performances of his iconic songs such as “Upuan,” “Sirena,” “Sumayaw Ka,” and “Lando” by artists including Ice Seguerra, Arthur Nery, Sassa Dagdag, and rappers Loonie, Smugglaz, Flow G, and Hero.

Several OPM icons also shared heartfelt video messages, highlighting Gloc-9’s lasting impact on both music and Filipino society including Yeng Constantino, KZ Tandingan, and Erik Santos.

Gloc-9’s fellow Magna awardees, Gary Valenciano (2008) and Bamboo (2019), also congratulated him. 

“He uses a native language that for me if you want to put a message across in a hip-hop kind of way, you gonna do it like Gloc-9,” Gary said.
