In 1997, Death Threat released their 3rd album "Kings Of Da Undaground," but it only features Hi-Jakkk and Gloc-9.
Death Threat released several albums until one day Beware had to leave the group and asked Gloc-9 to be the leader of the group together with Hi-Jakk (which Gloc-9 describes as a "rapper who does not know how to rap" in his song Talumpati). A number of options were suggested: MAGNUM45 and KALIBRE28 were rejected outright, but he decided that Glock 9, minus the “k,” sounded catchy. His stage name "Gloc-9" came into rise when Beware told him that he must have a rap name in order to become a rapper.
After a phone call with Beware, he joined the group in which he began to make a name for himself in the local underground hip hop scene. After the show, a member of Death Threat came in to him then gave a paper on which the contact number of the group's leader Beware (Ronald Salanga) was written. In his song Talumpati, Gloc-9 states that he joined a drive-by show by Andrew E. Gloc-9 is notably one of the few artists in the Philippine music scene who has won an award in every album he created. He began his musical career with the gangsta rap group Death Threat. His songs mostly tackle social issues such as social injustices, poverty and patriotism. He has collaborated on almost a dozen songs with other OPM artists “Lando” with the late Francis M, “ Upuan” with Jaezelle, “Bagsakan” with Parokya ni Edgar, “Baon” with Gab Chee Kee of Parokya ni Edgar and Francis M, and “Sari-Saring Kwento” with Noel Cabangon and Champ Lui Pio. He was described by fellow Filipino rapper Francis Magalona as "a blacksmith of words and letters, and a true Filipino poet." His fast-flowing vocal style has made him one of the most successful hip-hop artists in the Philippines. Aristotle Pollisco (born 18 October 1977), known by his stage name Gloc-9, is an Awit Award-winning Filipino rapper.
