Background
After the release of Matrikula in 2009, Gloc-9 made plans for his next album while studying for his nursing licensure exam. He met up with Jonathan Ong, who had worked with him on an earlier single, to produce his next album. The album blends socio-political commentaries with rap, pop, heavy rock, soul, and reggae, but is more upbeat than his previous album Diploma.[1] The Philippine Daily Inquirer called it "a rebuttal to the incisive, social realism of his previous album, Matrikula”.[2]
Talumpati was released on February 23, 2011, at the Eastwood Central Plaza.[3] With it being released in 2011, it kept up Gloc-9's streak of releasing an album every two years.[4]
Single
"Walang Natira" is the lead single on this album. It is about the plight of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and his struggles as a rapper. The song features Pinoy Dream Academy season 2 alumna, Sheng Belmonte.[1][3]
