The name of the song is "F.A.L.L.I.N.", but you're sure to get up to this as Funkmaster Flex and Nine Double M make it funky. Enjoy an early release from the Bronx duo who deliver a moment of Golden Era Hip Hop comedy and distinction. This EP demonstrates pistol packin' neck snappin rap at it's finest backed by funky beats powered by the late great James Brown. The Nine goes pop in '91 and demonstrates a time when Hip Hop could be both dangerous and somewhat light-hearted at the same time.

"F.A.L.L.I.N. (And You Can't Get Up)" is out now on all streaming services for 2025. You can find the original vinyl release on Warlock Records here at Discogs or here at eBay.

"The 9 Commandments" displays the ruff vocal tone and uncut rawness of the ghetto which only NINE can bring. Reminisce on a time when being hardcore was trendy, the energy of Hip Hop was amped and sounds were very original between many acts.

This 2018 release has been reissued for the summer of 2023 by Smoke On Records. Get your copy of this limited vinyl LP here.

The grimy-voiced Nine and his partner Darc Mass represent lyrically live on-camera to promote their new single "Over Confident". Staten Island MC King Just promotes one of his best songs to date in the neck-snapping Easy Mo Bee-produced cut "No Flows On The Rodeo".
