9LIVES SHARES NEW SINGLE "UP FREESTYLE" (W/ ODETARI) 

Fresh off his run performing alongside Kanii on the European leg of the #BLUE Tour, 20-year-old New Zealand artist/producer 9lives has joined forces with Odetari for his new single "UP FREESTYLE" — out now via PULSE Records. Born from a session in Odetari's hometown of Houston, "UP FREESTYLE" is a high-octane anthem that marks an experimental sonic leap for 9lives, blending gargantuan synths and danceable drums with glitchy, energetic melodies. The track follows previous collaborations between the pair on smash hits like the RIAA Gold-certified“I LOVE YOU HOE"(500M+ Streams) as well as "MULTIMILLIONAIRE" alongside Trippie Redd.

"'UP FREESTYLE' feels like a combination of my world with Odetari’s,"9lives says of the track. "The synths and leads are huge, and I also added four-on-the-floor drums in sections which were Odetari-inspired. He did his thing and brought those fire melody lines."

Stamping his first outing of 2025, the song arrives on the heels of a monster 2024 year for 9lives that saw the prolific artist drop collaborations with Lil Nas X, Trippie Redd, Rico Nasty, skaiwater, LAZER DIM 700, Anycia, and Lancey Foux. Fusing elements of trap, cloud rap, hyperpop, and electronic music into his own supernatural sound, 9lives has accumulated over 800 million streams through monstrous collabs like the aforementioned “I LOVE YOU HOE" with Odetari and the RIAA Gold-certified"Go (Xtayalive 2)" (300M+ Streams) with Kanii. Now with "UP FREESTYLE" (w/ Odetari), 9lives is continuing to serve up an avant-garde soundtrack that pushes the boundaries of what hip-hop can sound like — and cementing his name as one of the most in-demand producers of his generation in the process.

Ninelives (2015, SmokyMonkeyS)

A cool MMO with a sorta Morrowind-ish vibe to it. I'd never even heard of the game until my friend discovered it about two weeks ago.

It's sadly dead and hasn't had any content updates since 2018, but the servers are still up (for now) and all of the monetization was disabled so you can play it entirely for free.

It's definitely worth checking out for free, plus who knows how long they'll keep the servers up. Hopefully at some point they share server tools or convert it into a single-player/P2P experience. I could see this game gaining a cult following.

I am only surprised that stilla was so high on that list. Everyone else was expected.

I thought odetari or allday would be in my top 5 instead of stilla.

I am happy that I did get two kiwi artists in my top 5, asteria and 9lives

9LIVES SHARES NEW SINGLE "MAN OF THE YEAR" (W/  PRETTIFUN) 

20-year-old New Zealand artist/producer 9lives has just shared his new single"Man of the Year" (w/ Prettifun)––out now via PULSE Records. The video arrives on the heels of the Rico Nasty and Kanii-assisted "my way" and follows a profusion of collaborations this year including Trippie Redd, Lil Nas X, LAZER DIM 700, Anycia, Lancey Foux, and Odetari. After linking with 9lives via Discord this summer, Prettifun’s hyper-glitchy sound, which he’s since elevated this year by adding vocals to match, has led to critical acclaim––dropping two-full length projects in the last 6 months, Pretti, and Funhouse, the latter receiving a 7.4 fromPitchfork. "Man of the Year" hits with a trunk-rattling bass drop and laser style synthesizers as Prettifun'smelting vocals play compliment to 9lives massive glitch-filled production. About the song 9lives says: "Man of the Year is the type of song to play just before New Year's ticks over, such that the drop comes in as the clock strikes midnight to set your year off right. This is for the people who are proud of themselves and want to celebrate the wins they’ve achieved along the way." "Man of the Year" is a confetti drop of ascendancy for 9lives who will be a special guest on Kanii's upcoming #BLUE tour, which kicks off in Hamburg, Germany, on November 30th (get tickets here). He also recently collaborated with skaiwater and Lil Nas X on the remix of the former's "light!" (7M Streams),Lancey Foux on "ABU DHABI", and Kanii and Anycia on "I DID IT" — earning his stripes as one of the most in-demand producers of his generation.

Fusing elements of trap, cloud rap, hyperpop, and electronic music into his own supernatural sound, 9lives has accumulated over 800 Million Streams through monstrous collabs like “I LOVE YOU HOE“ with Odetari (400M+ Streams) and "Go (Xtayalive 2)" (250M+ Streams). With dark aesthetics that harken back to his gaming and anime influences, 9lives cultivates a sonic world in which bass-boosted 808s and distorted synths are mashed together into an explosive sound that has already caught the attention of Trippie Redd — producing “Popular” off his latest LP. Out now, "Man of the Year" (w/ Prettifun) showcases the futuristic sound that 9lives is pioneering, serving as an avant-garde soundtrack for the next generation.
