Not for Nines the simple music video: in advance of his forthcoming album Crop Circle, the XL-signed rapper has written and directed a short feature film of the same name.
The film – which was premiered last night in London's Leicester Square – stars Nines alongside an all-star cast, including MIST, Mostack, Skrapz, Ghetts, Kurupt FM’s Grindah and Beats, and many more. Filmed in and around the North West London estates where Nines grew up, the film intersperses a gritty, moralistic narrative about street life with original Nines music from the upcoming record.
