Aristotle Condenuevo Pollisco (born October 18, 1977), known professionally as Gloc-9, is a Filipino rapper, singer, and songwriter. Regarded as one of the best Filipino rappers of all time, his fast-flowing chopper vocal style has made him one of the best-selling and most successful hip-hop artists in the Philippines. He was described by fellow Filipino rapper Francis Magalona as "a blacksmith of words and letters, and a true Filipino poet." He is referred to as a trailblazer and the long-standing giant of the Pinoy Hip-Hop scene. In a career spanning 25 years, Gloc-9 has won over 60 awards including the prestigious 'Sudi National Music Award' by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. He is also a recipient of 2 FAMAS Awards, 21 Awit Awards, 18 Myx Music Awards and 9 PMPC Star Awards.
