NINES – ONE FOOT OUT

For those not familiar with the most authentic name in London’s exploding underground hip-hop scene, Nines hails from the Church Road East in North West London. In 2011 Nines made his infamous debut with his “JD Sports Shutdown” and “Turkey Shutdown” videos (the former featured on Worldstarhiphop.com), which saw the rapper taking kids from his neighborhood to JD Sports to buy them new trainers, as well as providing Christmas turkeys to the whole of his Church Road Estate. Without the approval of the industry, Nines went on to amass millions of views on his music videos (over 40 million), self-released four mixtapes and a single “Yay” which went on to sell over 30,000 copies – all staggering milestones that fully justify the hysteria surrounding Nines’ rap pedigree and which reinforce that this is no false dawn, but a genuine star in the making.
