Multifaceted sonic innovator 9lives continues to lead the charge of the burgeoning sigilkore movement. The New Zealand native's latest release, 'CANADA', is a dynamic collaboration with jnhygs and marks a futuristic evolution of his signature sound. Combining trap, cloud rap, hyper-pop, and electronic influences, 9lives delivers an explosive experience that's already resonated deeply with the internet generation.
Since entering the scene less than two years ago, 9lives has rapidly built a dedicated following. This rapid rise is bolstered by massive collaborations like 'I LOVE YOU HOE' with Odetari and 'Go (Xtayalive 2)', which have over 200 million streams combined. Even mainstream giants like Lil Nas X have taken notice, with 9lives producing the 'light!' remix featuring skaiwater.
'CANADA' reunites 9lives with jnhygs after their wildly successful 'XTAYALIVE' became a staple on social media platforms. 9lives has emphasized the power of online collaboration, saying, "'CANADA' represents my generation of teen artists connecting through the power of the internet... We’ve been friends since this song had a viral moment, and fans have been heavily requesting for us to work together again all over our videos."
With its ethereal synths and infectious melody, 'CANADA' is a potent testament to 9lives' sonic ingenuity. His style weaves dark aesthetics inspired by video games and anime with booming 808s and distorted synths. This unique blend has captured the attention of industry heavyweights like Rico Nasty, JELEEL!, Kanii, Odetari, and Trippie Redd.
9lives' star is on an undeniable ascent. Recent appearances at high-profile events like New York Fashion Week and coveted studio sessions with CLIP, Zaytoven, BNYX, Bear1Boss, and Ski Mask the Slump God hint at a bold future. The producer is poised to break into the mainstream, all while elevating sigilkore alongside him.
9lives is a trailblazing figure in experimental music, pushing the boundaries of genre and solidifying his status as a rising artist to watch. With a growing catalog of dynamic collaborations and an undeniable creative drive, the young producer is on the cusp of a major breakthrough that'll bring sigilkore into the spotlight.
