K nine9z: Hot Artist Alert
New England based up and coming artist K nine9z Definitely has a different sound of his own. Freestyling, songwriting, and singing that boy talented. K nine9z also self promotes all his work, He self promotes all his shows, singles, features, radio interviews, and of course social media. (Everything I do is Organic) most of these new artist buy likes and followers on there social media. Some even buy streams trying to cheat there way in the industry.
K nine9z does all his work himself organically. Not only do you get to keep the overhead cost of the majority of the profit you make. It also defines the person, the hustler, and the true artist you really are. Before i started this journey I cooked for 12 years. I started rapping and writing lyrics at the age of ten. Im 31 years old now, and I never stopped hip hop has been a part of me all my life Im a true MC.
My biggest acomplishments in my career as an independant artist are. Being a part of the coast to coast mixtapes in Brooklyn, being a part of the AC3 festival in ATL. Im on a 30 day rotation at REAL 1100am, Capitol Records artist Big Jigg plugged me with. Im a part of Cassidy’s who got bars mixtape, Which is out now on topmixtapes.com. Im also a part of Vado’s who got next mixtape that is getting ready to drop june 28th. You can also find it on topmixtapes, and datpiff.
I believe in real hip hop. I grew up listening to Nas, Biggie, 2pac, Jadakiss, Styles P, Big Pun, and Big L. These are the legends that inspired me to become an MC. Bars, Metaphors, and story telling drive me to make my music. I want the people listening to my music to feel my pain, and understand the real life situations I have delt with.
What alot of people dont understand. It takes alot of time, and dedication to be an artist. That requires a lot of late nights, traveling, risk taking , and a lot of brainstorming and strategizing on how to generate different incomes. Another thing a lot of people dont know, or forget about is the music industry is 90 percent business and 10 percent music. Which means you need to spend money in order to make it.
My goals five years from now. Is to be on all the music channels, and radio stations in the country, gain millions of fans loving, and supporting my music, and save enough money to start my own label. I have two kids i need to support. I wake up and get to work at the crack of dawn everyday, because i dont want my kids to struggle like i did. My family is my motivation and there the reason why i go so hard im hungry.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Just Swept The Emmys
Bad Bunny is officially an Emmy winner — and not just once. At Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show swept every single category it was nominated in, all seven of them, making it the most-decorated nominee of the night.
The headline win was Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a category the show became only the third halftime show ever to claim. From there it just kept going: music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction and camerawork, and directing all went home with the Puerto Rican star’s team. There’s technically an eighth trophy with his name attached, too, though it won’t land in his hands — the “Saturday Night Live” episode he hosted last season separately won Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program.
The sweep is good news for Jay-Z as well. As an executive producer on the halftime show, he now has two Emmys to his name, having previously won for producing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance in 2025 — the show that, until Saturday, held the record for most Emmys won by a Super Bowl performance.
Bad Bunny wasn’t the only one having a night. Sabrina Carpenter picked up her first Emmy as a performer and executive producer on “The Muppet Show,” edging out Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour | The Final Show” for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). The Billy Joel HBO miniseries “And So It Goes” won for sound mixing on a nonfiction program, and 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” took home picture editing honors. A big weekend for live spectacle, all around.

Rod Wave Hints at NBA YoungBoy Stadium Tour as Fans Dream of Joint Run
Rod Wave has got hip hop fans excited after seemingly teasing a massive stadium tour with NBA YoungBoy. The idea came after DJ Akademiks said on Twitter that he wanted to see the two rappers work together on a tour or maybe even a collab project. NBA YoungBoy is overseas right now, but fans haven’t stopped wondering what a joint run between the two would look like.
Akademiks suggested the two should collaborate on an album or EP and called for a YB & Rod Wave tour. Rod Wave responded with a brief message that he’d already spoken with YoungBoy about taking the tour to stadiums. The response immediately sparked excitement about the two artists performing together. Over the years, Rod Wave and NBA YoungBoy have developed chemistry, with both artists building passionate, loyal fan bases in their corners of hip hop.
But a joint stadium tour would be logistically difficult. YoungBoy has left the United States, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of the country for good, and he could still be away long enough for a major concert run. The prospect is especially tantalizing for fans, as major headlining artists rarely join forces for extensive joint tours. So if the plans do go through, a big run with Rod Wave and YoungBoy might be a moment for their audiences.

Such an endeavor could also be notable for Rod Wave with his experience with concert promotion. It’s said that his Mainstay Touring company booked his own shows and Ye’s SoFi Stadium concerts earlier this year. Another big opportunity for the company would be a longer concert series with YoungBoy.
YoungBoy’s recent “MASA” tour and accompanying documentary also show his ability to draw strong fan engagement and attention around a live project. But the potential stadium tour remains hypothetical. Rod Wave’s comment gives fans something to look forward to, but it doesn’t mention a formal joint tour announcement.
