K NINE HAS 11,511 FRIENDSABOUT K NINE I believe some of these cats are really flushed out and flossin’ hard, but most of them aren’t whales. They’re still small fish, wishing they were sky ballin‘. Another thing, I know a few other homies doing it, so it’s not just me, but I’m really trying to come up with our own words out here. Vegmade, I got that from my boy Booskee. (laughs) I use that a lot. I say flush, got that from Dee-1. Lyt City, got that from Trajik n Infared-Desert Mobb; RIP. and Redlight Runner. That’s my shit, I came up with that. TN: Anything you want to add? K Nine: Everyone wants to make it, not many want to work together, please, for real, push those egos to the left, stop acting Hollywood and let’s unify to build a Vegas empire. Stop hating, look past your ignorance, and see intelligence. I promise we’ll blow faster if we make moves together. It’s a struggle for us as “Vegas artists” to get into the game and be taken seriously, it’s really like a war. How many so called “Vegas artists” have made it, and never gave back to the town?? We’re all soldiers fightin’ the same battle, but at no time in history was any war won by one single soldier. There were always thousands more to back that one soldier up! We can all be generals, legends and leaders in our own time, but for now, let’s make moves as one before it’s too late! TN: It seems that everyone shares you feelings on that. What to shout anyone out? K Nine: Shot outs to you, TN of Vivid N Urban Magazine for taking time to get to know a Pinoy. Pro Dash for always reaching out, Dee-1 (one of my aces) Booskee, Synyster D, Low Green, Desert Mobb, Doomsday, Murderous Click, 420, Click One, Johnny Boy, Lady Synful, Lady Lust, Lady B, Lady Heat, DJ Supajames, Docwell, Trigga, Mr. Nano (Free Nano) Campfire, Young G-no. That’s only a small few of the artists out here. We’re thick as hell out here, all grindin’ and makin’ moves. If we come together and move together we’ll make it happen! One more thing I gotta add. Look out for the album Forever Twizted. I produced about 8 tracks on there. Show support for the artists, buy their albums, support their shows, spread their music out there. R.I.P. to my boy Pierre John Uniza aka Unkle P. He passed June 1st, 2008. He was one of the realist Filipinos in the game, we love you mayne! LV2RENO: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RAPPING? KNINE: BOUT 12 YEARS LV2RENO: HOW DID YOU START? KNINE: STARTED WRITING POETRY WHEN I WAS 13, AROUND THAT TIME STARTED FREESTYLIN WITH ONE OF MY DOGGZ THAT'S DOING A BID RIGHT NOW IN ELY, RAY (DUKELIFE) LV2RENO: IF YOU WEREN'T RAPPING WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? KNINE: PROBABLY TRYIN TO FOCUS ON ANOTHER CAREER, AS OPPOSED TO PURSUING MY MUSIC CAREER. MAYBE BUSINESS. LV2RENO: WHAT SIDE OF LV DID YOU GROW UP ON? KNINE: FEW PLACES. FROM NORTHTOWN (LAS VEGAS BLVD N PECOS, CIVIC CENTER N OWENS, THAT'S WHERE MY HEART'S AT) LIVED IN THA PROJECTS ON 28TH STREET WHEN I WAS YOUNG, MOVED AROUND TO THA NORTHWEST AFTER A WHILE. LV2RENO: HAS RAPPIN CHANGED YOU AS A PERSON? KNINE: NOT NECESSARILY. I MEAN, IT HAS GIVEN ME A CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITY, I'VE GOT TO PUT MORE THOUGHT INTO WHAT I WRITE AND TALK ABOUT, I'VE GOT YOUNGSTERS THAT BUMP MY MUSIC, AND I DON'T WANT TO MISLEAD THEM, OR PUSH 'EM IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. LV2RENO: GOT ANY PROJECTS COMING UP? KNINE: HALFWAY FINISHED WITH MY SOLO ALBUM, "FOREVER TWIZTED." HAD TO PUT IT ON PAUSE RIGHT NOW, BUT I'VE GOT MY "DEMO" I'M PUSHIN FOR $10 BUCKS IN THA STREETS, GOT ABOUT 12-13 TRACKS ON THERE.

WE ALL NEED TO END THA BEEF, AND KILL THA IGNORANCE, COME TOGETHER AND FIND UNIFICATION, SO WE ALL GET THA CHANCE TO BLOW UP!!! IT AINT ABOUT WHO BLOWS UP FIRST, AND WHO'S "RUNNING" VEGAS, IF ANYBODY'S "RUNNING" VEGAS, IT'S THA MOB HOMEY (THIS WASN'T DIRECTED TO MY HOMEBOY ESE LOCO, JUST RAPPERS IN GENERAL THAT ACT LIKE THEY'RE THA ONLY ONES IN VEGAS PUTTIN IT DOWN) . AS LONG AS ONE OF US OPENS THE DOORS, THEN WE ALL CAN WALK THROUGH. LV2RENO: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIP HOP NOWADAYS…IS IT REALLY DEAD? KNINE: IT'LL NEVER DIE, I DON'T THINK IT IS WHAT IT WAS, THE PIONEERS OF RAP/HIPHOP MUSIC, HAD A DIFFERENT MIND STATE, THAN A LOT OF THE ARTISTS OUT NOW. I RESPECT ANY AND EVERYBODY'S HUSTLE, BUT HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GONNA SPEAK THA SAME WORDS AS SOMEONE BEFORE YOU. 16 OUTTA 16 TRACKS ALL TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE, HOW HARD YOU ARE, HOW MANY FEMALES WANT YOU, COME ON MAN. RESPECT TO THA ONES WHO SPEAK THOSE WORDS WITH HONESTY, BUT STILL HOMEY, YOU'RE AN "ARTIST" CREATE SOMETHING NEW AND SPEAK OF A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOUR LIFESTYLE. LV2RENO: NOW DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR RAPPERS TRYING TO COME UP? KNINE: YEAH, DON'T HATE, DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE "BUSINESS SIDE" OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS, AND BE YOU. LV2RENO: IF THEY HAVENT GOTTEN THERE HANDS ON AN ABLUM HOW CAN THEY? KNINE: I'M WORKIN ON THAT RIGHT NOW, JUST GET IN CONTACT WITH ME THROUGH MYSPACE FOR NOW (MYSPACE.COM/KNINEMUZIC), I'M WORKING ON BEING ABLE TO SELL 'EM THROUGH THA INTERNET, AND AT A LOCAL SPOT HERE IN VEGAS.

KNINE: HARD TO SAY, IF I'M STILL ALIVE, AND NOT LOCKED UP, THEN POSSIBLY IN THA INDUSTRY, STABLE AND MAKING MOVES, DOIN WHAT I LOVE FOR A LIVING. LV2RENO:DO YOU THINK POLITICS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE RAP INDUSTRY? KNINE: NAH, NOT REALLY. IF THEY DID, THEN MY YOUNGER GENERATION WOULD BE MORE AWARE OF THE POLITICAL SITUATIONS THAT SURROUNDS OUR GENERATION. THEY KNOW HOW TO FLOSS, BUT DO THEY KNOW HOW TO VOTE???!!!

TEACH FROM WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED, AND LEARN FROM WHAT YOU'VE TAUGHT. LV2RENO: WHAT MADE YOU GET IN TO THE RAPPING GAME? KNINE: BASICALLY THE FACT THAT I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AND I WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR IT. MUSIC IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, WHY NOT HAVE EVERYONE SPEAKING IT.

BIO "What defines the pain inside our minds, and what defines the peace within our hearts? Only in this lifetime shall you appreciate your existence, if indeed you do truly exist. As for me, my existence is built from the pain of my past. This is who I am, and this is my life"... "FOREVER TWIZTED" These are the exact words from K NINE, Las Vegas born half Filipino mixed rap artist. This 26-year old storyteller is deeply opinionated and expresses his emotions and experiences of life through his music. His father abandoned him around the age of six, which left a hole in the heart of K NINE that was only filled with unanswered questions and pain. But yet, it is that same pain that inspires him not only to write his lyrics, but also to fight through life and be the best in anything and everything he touches. Perfection is a shadow I try to follow in every step I take, says K NINE. His influences consist of: the late Tupac Shakur, DMX, Techn9ne, Trae and Yukmouth. K NINE is currently working on his first album entitled, FOREVER TWIZTED. His demo is presently making its way through the streets in hopes to be felt by every heart filled with pain, and every face covered in tears. He has performed at HARRAHS CASINO, CLUB MADRID, COOLER LOUNGE, ICE HOUSE, CLUB ASIA, (Planet Hollywood) THE BOX OFFICE, AND DOWNTOWN (First Friday) just to name a few. Producing eight tracks on his album without any background in music proves that the impossible is always possible. His words reflect the reality of life, and the possibilities of death. His anthem song, "K NINE" has an up tempo club beat along with a catchy hook, while "PRAYIN FOR ANOTHER DAY" is a cry out for sanity when your life is FOREVER TWIZTED. K NINE is also featured on the FLUSH mix-tape vol.1 and vol. 2, Johnny Boys compilation, "GANGS OF LAS VEGAS PT2," Johnny Boy's album, "Mr. Las Vegas" as well as Booskee's "Thugties 2 compilation. "I have much to learn, yet I have much to give, all I need is a chance!" K NINE
