We are very proud to work with a great Filipino talent like Gloc-9 for this special collection. We believe that he is best to represent our brand, knowing that he’s making a name for himself, not just here but also internationally. He embodies everything that is great with Filipino artistry and we know that New Era fans are excited about this partnership and would love this collection. We released this collection in time for our 120th Independence Day because these designs celebrate the undeniable creative talent of Filipinos. This is just the beginning of interesting partnerships with local artists in the Philippines, and we’re excited for more.

Check out the New Era and Gloc-9’s collection below:

This collection builds on this relationship between the Filipino hip-hop icon and New Era. In this new Filipino-themed collection, New Era and Gloc-9 worked on the design together taking inspiration from the artist’s simplicity and style. It also banners the highlights of the rapper’s career, and his invaluable contributions to the local music scene. Known for his powerful, influential, and socially relevant music, Gloc-9’s reputation as a profound lyricist is featured in this collection. The Gloc-9 LIMITED EDITION Collectible caps include a snapback 9FIFTY silhouette cap that has an embroided “Makata sa Pinas” gold text on the front of the crown. The design includes a stanza which says “Kaya sa gabi ako’y palaging nakatingala, kasi pwede palang maging sigurado ang baka” stitched on the right side of the crown.

The lyrics came from his song “Alalay ng Hari” from the album MKNM: Mga Kwento ng Makata which cited his experience growing as an artist under his mentor, Francis Magalona.
