Death Threat released several albums until one day Beware has to leave the group and asks 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 whose contact number of the group's leader Beware (Ronald Salonga) is 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 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 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.
