I’m mean but I’m so nice – 9DM You’ll Never Be Famous, a powerful collaborative album from the likes of two of the Northwest hip hop’s finest. 9DM, an MC native to Vancouver Washington with a machine gun flow adds his rhymes to the dramatic rock inspired thunderous beats of seasoned producer, Lawz Spoken. You’ll Never Be Famous is the second collaboration between 9DM and Lawz Spoken, after recording an EP in 2007 that was shelved and later released as Ferrari Rap Volume 1. You’ll Never Be Famous reflects the considerable growth both producer and MC have made in the last 4 years and is the perfect follow up to Lawz Spoken’s recently released CHRON album with fellow Portland artist, OnlyOne (of SandPeople) which was received with overwhelming positive regard. The song, “Miss Me with All That” marked the completion of CHRON and the beginning of the creation of You’ll Never Be Famous. The track features both 9DM and OnlyOne along with P.C. Platinum, a long time friend of 9DM. The album also features two time World Rap Champion, Illmaculate (also a member of SandPeople) on the song “Red & Blue Lights.” 9DM has proved to be a ferocious competitor in the battle rap world. In a two year span, 9DM has over 13 battles against some of the world’s toughest competition in the world’s biggest battling league, Grind Time Now. His battles average over 35,000 views each on YouTube. 9DM’s latest battle against long time partner in rhyme, Illmaculate, is sure to see over 100,000 views alone and is arguably his best battle to date. Songs from You’ll Never Be Famous have already been spun by Portland DJs and received radio play on 107.5 Wild FM. You’ll Never Be Famous balances the aggressive nature of both of the artist’s styles with personal reflection on the part of 9DM. It’s clearly his strongest and most complete effort to date. Lawz Spoken provides lush backdrops with his ever refining style. You’ll Never Be Famous is filled with dynamic crashing beats crisply mixed by DJ Flip Flop (DJ for CunninLynguists). - Verbz
