INTERVIEW WITH "9DM"

WHATS POPPIN WIT U 9 DIZZLE?

Shiiiit, about to hit this bbq down the street. Happy Birthday my dude.

HOW YOU BEEN HOMIE?
Good, got this 'It's All About Respect' album in motion finally.


HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LIVE DOWN THE STREET FROM THE BG? LOL

The shrimp alone makes it the

place to be, don't get me started on the ribs.

NAW BUT REALLY I KNOW U BE ON UR GRIND NON STOP WHAT YOU WORKIN ON THESE DAYS?

I'm working on my 'debut' album mostly. It's not really my debut album though. I have had probably like 4-5 albums i did when i was younger and shit, you know what i'm talkin' about. But this album is the first project where i have everything i need to get it done right. So in the words of pac "Expect me...Expect me like you expect the return of jesus...Im comin!" haha.


SO EVERYONE KNOWS UR A BEAST ON THIS BATTLE SHIT! WHAT YOU THINK BOUT GRINDTIME?

It's a good outlet. There's a lot of really talented emcee's through out the divisions. It doesn't seem like much since Illmaculate can grab over 100.000 views on one battle but since I started I have over 300,000 views on youtube. That's not including worldstar and I've had like 5 battles on there. So as far as exposure that I wouldn't have had at this point, it's great. Sometimes you get caught up in wanting to be paid/have the biggest battle and forget about where we'd be with out it. I wouldn't have that many views, I can tell you that much. And all that did was put me in touch with the right people and a way to promote. And kill entire families.

SO YOU JUST BATTLED REAL DEAL WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT BATTLE?

I can't wait to see the footage. Real Deal is a beast. I took a different approach on this one. I was already planning on doing it but with all the feedback I got about "shock factor rap", it just solidified the decision. There will be plenty of baby bashing, mother raping and family tragedies in the future.


CAN YOU NAME YOU TOP 5 BATTLE RAPPERS?

No because I want to battle them all and could use this against me.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR TOP 5 ALL TIME RAPPERS?

I'll tell you like I told Crooked-I (Just in passing, not on some super star shit haha) 3 way tie for 1st place. Crooked I, Jay Z and Pac. All for different reasons. Jay Z has made it as far as any rapper ever will and his albums are ridiculous. Changed the game. Pac is just raw emotion. I don't think I need to explain. Changed the game. Crooked I isn't as successful as jay z, he's not a legend like pac, but he's exactly what I want to hear when I listen to a song. Basically Jay/Pac combined with new age lyrics.

Dudes a beast. Em is making his way back into my top 5. Not sure about that number 5 slot.

WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKIN MEAN?

Haha, i didn't start out with the intention of making 'shock' battle raps. I just noticed what lines were hitting and capitalized off of it. I forgot to say 'smash her life alert' in my battle with Reverse Live when I was talking about stomping his grandma out lol.

IF YOU COULD PICK ONE PERSON IN THE GAME TO WORK WITH WHO WOULD IT BE? AND WHY?

I got to go with Jay Z or Eminem, I know that's not one person but who gives a fuck, i'm just trying to get on the record that will be heard. Rappers that big can make artists. That's why I'm glad the whole slaughter house/shady shits goin' down. They deserve that exposure and Em has nothing to lose by doing it.

I KNOW YOU BE REPPIN NORTHWEST TO THE FULLEST!! WHAT U THINK BOUT THE TALENT OUT HERE?

Diverse. Every type of rapper/musician. From gangster rap to R and B we have artists that can do it. I think we're putting in the ground work to be the leaders' of hip hop in our region when our og's pass the torch.

WHEN I SAY U.T.A.G.M WHAT COMES TO MIND?

We Bag Em'

YOU ALWAYS RAP/FREESTYLE ARE YOU FREESTYLING RIGHT NOW AS YOU TYPE THESE ANSWERS?

It's been a minute since I have actually lol. I've just been relaxing/working on this album. Shit is going to be crazy, I can tell you that much.

THATS WHATS UP PIMP.... ANY LAST WORDS FOR THE VIEWERS?

Cancers not funny. But you crying like a little bitch when I bring it up is. So fuck you if you don't like what I do. I battle to put myself in position to make music. It just so happens I get to take some aggression out at the same time.

I get standing ovations from Vietnam vets who are wheel chair bound, mother fucker. Blind people claim to have brief moments of vision when I walk past them, bitch. I've shot people from long distance just so I can be the one that saves their lives. I'm a hero. A patriot. Eat a dick.

Big shout out to 9DM for for comin threw lettin em know what time it is without a watch! UTAGM We Bag Em!
