Nine High

Snatching the name from their local underage alcohol vendor, Nine High are made up of three UK MC's - Fraksha, Scotty Hinds & Felony.



From back alley rapping to releasing critically acclaimed mix tapes (First Take & Take 2), Nine High represent the UK to the fullest - with an Australian twist



With both Fraksha & Scotty Hinds now living permanently in Australia (since 2007) and Felony residing in the UK, Nine High have already made a massive impact on the Australian scene.



Touring alongside Bliss N Eso & Phrase, collaborating with Australian artists such as Reason, M-Phazes, Mantra, Autism & Ciecmate, Nine High have been etching their name into the halls of Aussie Hip-Hop.



Written & recorded both in the UK and Australia, Nine High's self titled debut album is 15 tracks of UK Hip-Hop in it's purest form.



Kick starting the album into high gear is the thumping M-Phazes produced "Fugs Needs Hugs" which sets the scene for these 3 rhyme artists to do what they do best.



With a blatant lack of filler tracks, the highlights from the album come in the form of "Jokers"; their brutally honest exposé of fake rappers and "What Bothers Me"; which sees each MC bringing their take on society's downfalls.



But a Hip-Hop album without a braggadocio track or two thrown in just wouldn’t be a Hip-Hop album now would it? Nine High blow holes through your speakers on the heavily grime influenced “Driff Banger” and their impressive wordplay on “Roll With A Crew” are simply world class.



Production on the album comes courtesy of M-Phazes (Royce Da 5’9”, CL Smooth, Heltah Skeltah), Ghost Town (Jehst, Foreign Beggars), Jase (Pegz, Phrase), Drif (Mikey T, Lumes) & Lewis One.



With each MC bringing their own unique style to the table over an impressive array of world class production, Nine High’s debut album is set to be one of the stand out releases of 2009.
