S9
Originally hailing from Albania, this masked driller has made a niche for himself with his mind-bendingly impressive multilingual approach to rapping. His 2023 track ‘Internacional’ saw him turn plenty of heads, as he blended six different languages on one track, which has now clocked up millions of views on popular hip-hop platform GRM Daily’s YouTube channel. The Balkan barspitter spent 2024 steadily drip-feeding singles, closing out the year with a track dedicated to Albania’s national team captain, ‘Granit Xhaka’.
Hear: S9’s trademark ‘6 Language Freestyle’.
See: The video for ‘La Street’ on YouTube – which boasts nearly 11 million views.
