The OPM rap icon performed the song live for the first time at the official launch in Taguig
VIA GRAPHIC PLUS | TAGUIG CITY— OPM rap icon Gloc-9 and online gaming platform GameZone premiered the official music video of “Tara G!” today at The Blue Leaf Events Pavilion in McKinley Hill.
Gloc-9 also performed the song live before members of the press, GameZone business partners and invited content creators. Fellow rappers Hero and Ramdiss of Asintada opened the program.
The music video brings to life the spirit of “Tara G!” through one of the most iconic symbols of Filipino culture: the jeepney. Inspired by the values of samahan and barkadahan, the story begins with a simple invitation that gradually brings more people together. As each friend joins the ride, the jeepney creatively grows longer and longer, symbolizing how a simple call can turn into a bigger gathering filled with friendship, connection, and shared moments.
Set against the familiar sights of Filipino neighborhoods, the music video celebrates the joy of coming together and the uniquely Filipino spirit of companionship. More than just a ride, the growing jeepney represents a community where everyone has a place and where the journey becomes more meaningful when shared.
The song “Tara G!” was released worldwide on October 30, 2026, across major audio streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and Deezer. It is the official campaign song of GameZone’s “Tara G! Sama Tayo!” campaign, celebrating the Filipino tradition of bringing family and friends together through card games.
“Kapag narinig mo ang ‘Tara G!,’ alam mo na agad. Kapag may tumawag, alam mong may lakad o may ganap ang barkada. Iyon ang gusto kong maramdaman ng manonood sa video — na talagang kasama ka sa barkada,” said Gloc-9.
GameZone spokesperson Ava Castillo said the music video lets the campaign live where Filipinos actually spend time together.
“‘Tara G! Sama Tayo.’ started as an invitation. With Gloc-9, it became a song people could sing along to, and now a story they can watch and share. We’re proud to stand behind a Filipino artist whose work has always been about real Filipino lives,” Castillo said.
Gloc-9 said one of his reasons for accepting the collaboration was the chance to speak up for responsible gaming.
“Ang totoo, isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit ako pumayag sa collab na ito ay para responsible gaming. Kaya kung may maririnig akong nag-‘Tara G!,’ gusto kong ang kasunod ay saya at samahan, hindi problema. Kaya iyon ang gusto kong dalhin ng kantang ito: maglaro nang tama, nang may limit, at kasama ang barkada,” Gloc-9 said.
The launch also showed how GameZone is building its brand through Filipino music and culture.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
