Chances are that if you’re from Harlesden in North West London – more specifically an area called Church Road – you’ll be familiar with the name, Nines; “everyone there kinda knows me”, he says warmly. Born and bred in the Church Road estate to Jamaican and Somali parents, everything about Nines – one of the UK’s most fabled and important rappers of recent years – feels intrinsically linked to the streets he’s grown up in; every verse on every on track on every mixtape, CD, album he’s ever released is a product of his environment. And he never forgets when he came from.
