Over the past few years, 9lives has become a central player in the global digicore scene, minting hits like “I LOVE YOU HOE" with Odetari and "Go (Xtayalive 2)" with Kanii — two songs that compel you towards the swirling furnace of the mosh pit while still being, somehow, ethereally atmospheric. He's applied that dual sensibility to work on an uncanny list of stars like Lil Nas X, Trippie Redd, Rico Nasty, skaiwater, LAZER DIM 700, and Lucy Bedroque — who he recently opened for on tour.
For his FADER Mix, 9lives assembled a smooth flow through a variety of tones and tempos, from glacial drain gang rhythms to the digi-rage of Prettifun, to a 2017 cali throwback via D Savage.
