9ine's "never give up" attitude is not simply the fuel that feeds his artistic fire. It's also the reason this New Orleans native is poised to benefit from an expansion in the hip hop universe that mirrors rock music in the 1970's. The current structure of rap not only fosters contemporaneous innovation, but has cemented a foundation atop 40 years of maturation. Emboldened by artists such as 2 Chainz and Benny The Butcher, 9ine understands that time is no longer his enemy.
9ine's education in music started early, learning to play trumpet and baritone in elementary school. At 12, he found himself transcribing, memorizing and performing all of his favorite rap songs, as if he were running his own boot camp for future superstars. Inspired by the production of Cash Money's Mannie Fresh, and his authentic New Orleans sound, 9ine found the voice that he's been projecting ever since.
