Two rugged styles built for repeat listens.

Moody 909 has always been one of my favorite emcees, and Eye’m honored to have rocked stages with him. Eye’ve long called Moody “the godfather of punk-hop” because he carries the energy of his punk-rock roots straight into hip-hop.

Northern California’s MC Wicks brings a golden-era flow, a powerful voice and undeniable mic presence. Together, the combination makes immediate sense.

Across ten tracks, Heavyweights pairs smooth beats with rugged styles, delivering standouts like “Lokz,” “MK Ultra” and “Cold World.” It is a no-skip album built for repeat listens; every return reveals a line that might have gone over your head the first time.

Here is my favorite jam from the project.

Independent sound moves through real connections.

“Machine King” by BIG SERB$ opens the 9T9D Sound Division archive. It represents the type of independent music this platform was built to document: records discovered through real relationships, shared experiences and repeated listens.

Broadcast 001 establishes the purpose of these transmissions. Every entry gives one song room to stand on its own while documenting the artist, the release and the reason the music belongs inside the 9T9D archive.

This is not an algorithm deciding what deserves attention. It is music moving directly from the artist to the listener, preserved as part of the culture that produced it.
