Nine Vicious has quickly become a polarizing figure in the underground in just a matter of months.
On one end, Nine is making some of the most polished and electric anthems of the current wave—stemming from his debut mixtape Studio Addict and his latest EP B4TM—all in anticipation of Tumblr Music. And on the other, murmurs of widespread promo purchases on X, beefs with fellow rappers like Izaya Tiji and rather… concerning allegations, have followed Nine on his rapid rise in the UG.
Amid this, the Atlanta rapper’s ties to Young Thug’s label Young Stoner Life were confirmed by YSL artist Lil Gotit on an episode of the Big Facts Podcast (March 1). Thugger officially co-signed Nine via X later that week.
Admittedly, it’s awkward timing, as Nine has yet to confirm nor deny the allegations set against him. Nevertheless, Tumblr Music looks to be the catalyst to rising star’s official tenure apart of YSL’s new regime, which also features Yung Kayo and 1300SAINT.
The 2025 OGM Artist To Watch is also set to headline the legendary S.O.B.’s in New York City later this month. As we wait for Tumblr Music, listen to Nine’s warm-up EP B4TM.
