Just like Rome, Nines’ legacy wasn’t built in a day. The Zino Records frontman and former XL Recordings signee has been peddling his discs through the streets of North-West London since the 2000s. Breaking out with a trilogy of revered tapes between 2012 and 2014 ( From Church Rd to Hollywood, Gone Till Novemberand Loyal to the Soil), Nines was able to master quantity, quality and musical dexterity. He hustled to try to outrun his surroundings, and started selling weed aged 13. “I just cared about financial freedom,” he says. “Everyone used to go party, and I stood on the corner and stayed trapping, because I was like: ‘Blud, I need to get out of this shit one day.’”One Foot Out entered and peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Nines' first chart entry. Nines became one of the few selective English rappers to receive a top 5 album in recent years, alongside the likes of Giggs and Krept and Konan. The album charted at number 1 on the UK R&B Chart and number 3 on the UK Independent Chart. To date, the album has sold over 35,000 copies. I ain’t cutting shapes, but half of my hood is right now. Half of Church Road’s jumped on this house thing, for real,” says Nines, smirking, when I ask — jokingly — if he goes raving for fun. After all, it’s not uncommon for fans to rub shoulders with the UK’s biggest rap and grime stars in house raves these days. He goes on to tell me he does like a good party but, as of this year, not “those ratchet ones in the city.”
