Who Is Nine Vicious? The Young Thug-Endorsed Rapper Making Waves With ‘Slime Bidness’

Nine Vicious is a name that will increasingly be associated with Hip Hop over the coming months, assuming Young Thug’s latest endorsement of the artist behind “You Said” holds significance.

The track, boasting a little over a quarter-million views for its accompanying visual from last year, draws on Drake’s well-known early hit “Fancy”. The track, which now has a little over a quarter-million views on its visual treatment from last year, sampled Drake’s early classic “Fancy.”

“Nine vicious habits have been rapidly gaining momentum.”

Before releasing the mentioned track, Nine Vicious had already gained momentum with SoundCloud releases like “I Love You” and “I’ll Neva,” both of which possessed the characteristic bounce associated with contemporary Atlanta music. In 2024, he further intensified his efforts through his association with B4SA and the release of his inaugural mixtape, Studio Addict. The 13-track project featured standout songs such as “F&N,” “Tokyo,” and “Ye,” with the Athens native referencing Travis Scott and Diddy.

Following the release of January’s B4TM, Nine Vicious appears to be preparing more new music. He unveiled the cover art for Tumblr Music on March 4, a notable decision given that many of his fans are likely too young to have ever utilized the platform. The front cover is a remake of Tupac Shakur’s album All Eyez On Me, sparking some controversy. Early criticisms of Young Thug’s artistic approach ultimately proved misguided.

Oh u fancy huh?

Rumors Suggest That Nine Vicious May Have Already Inked A Deal with Young Thug’s YSL Records Imprint

During an interview with “Big Facts,” Lil Gotit might have inadvertently leaked that Young Thug had already signed Nine Vicious, a discussion that occurred while he was talking about his upcoming collaborative project with Lil Keed.

Keed and I have around 300 songs. I handed over around 20 of them to Young Thug. I feature Ty Dolla Sign, Tee Grizzley, and Nine Vicious, as well as the newly signed artist Slime on that track. The artist behind “Brotherly Love” described that person as extremely interesting. YSL Records, which already represents artists such as Gunna, Lil Duke, and Yak Gotti, may have found their next major success story with this newcomer, following the turmoil caused by the label boss’ RICO trial. Given that YSL Records is already home to Gunna, Lil Duke, Yak Gotti, and more, the newcomer may just be their next breakout star after the storm that came with the label boss’ RICO trial.
