Xcix (Ninety-Nine) Email and Phone Number

XCIX [pronounced "Ninety-Nine"] is the rebirth of a seasoned songwriter and performer. The newly branded emcee first got his big break writing for Markell Riley of the hit group Wreckx-n-Effect on their multi-platinum album Hard or Smooth. He went on to write for other hit artists like Will Smith, super producer Teddy Riley, and Hammer. Later, he was featured as an artist (performing under the name Nutta Butta ) with multi-platinum performers like BLACKSTREET , Janet Jackson , Queen Pen and Case . Spawning a solo career, Ninety-Nine also had a single and video released by Interscope Records for the platinum Bulworth movie soundtrack called "Freakout".Born in the Bronx, New York, Ninety-Nine was introduced to Hip-Hop in the very birthplace of the culture. He eventually found a home in Harlem, New York. His influences weren't limited to the city where dreams are made of… He briefly moved to his father's hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina, as well as to Virginia beach, Virginia, for about seven years before returning to Harlem where he is still based. The artist credits his Harlem roots as the strongest influence on his artistic style and swagger.With club-banging beats and radio-ready flows, Ninety-Nine's sound mixes in-your-face danceable style with street tinged storytelling. This is evident on the cautionary tale "Corna Boyz" where he rhymes, "Them corner boyz they be bout that bread/But one wrong move, corner boy you're dead." Ninety-Nine melds old school influences and the energy of yesterday's Hip-Hop with a sound that is relevant and ear-catching to a whole new generation. The rapper has certainly paid his dues, and with an upcoming LP entitled Street Intellect, he's prepared to make fans think as much as he makes them danceSpecialties: Live performer, recording artist, entrepreneur, and songwriter.
