After the release ofMatrikula 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 withrap,pop,heavy rock,soul, andreggae, but is more upbeat than his previous albumDiploma.[1] ThePhilippine 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]
"Walang Natira" is the lead single on this album. It is about the plight ofOverseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and his struggles as a rapper. The song featuresPinoy Dream Academy season 2 alumna, Sheng Belmonte.[1][3]
GMA News praised the album, in regards to its production and storytelling.[5]
