MANILA -- Acclaimed rapper Gloc-9 on Wednesday launched his newest album "Sukli," which also marks his return to Star Music.

"Lahat ng bagay na ginagawa natin sa buhay natin, we get something in return," he told reporters at a press conference. "Ang tawag doon ay sukli. Kaya po ang lahat ng mga kanta dito ay tungkol sa kwento din ng mga kababayan natin."

The album carrier single "Hoy!" talks about the Filipino spirit and resilience despite trying times.

Also included in the album are collaborations with KZ Tandingan ("Industriya"), Mayonaisse frontman Monty Macalino ("Sagwan") and Ebe Dancel ("Ang Probinsyano" for the hit primetime series of the same name).

"BiMalaking-malaking tulong po sa isang artist 'yon kaya ako ay very thankful na nabigyan ako ng pagkakataon to write a song for them," he said of Dreamscape. "Maraming-maraming salamat din dahil pinagkatiwalaan nila ang kanta na yon para makasama sa programa."

"Sukli" will have its grand launch on June 5 at Market! Market! in Taguig.
