TOP 5 SONGS

5. Cracker

“Cracker” begins with Nine Vicious proudly sharing a sequence of sexual accomplishments nobody asked him to disclose. First, it is a white woman. Then, it is a Black woman. Finally, it is a rapper. Weirdly enough, the track becomes more conventional once he starts discussing his chopper and saying bizarre things about women—which should tell you how wild its opening is.

None of this sounds like a convincing recommendation, yet the song still has a strange appeal. It is catchy and connected to the next track through a transition that feels genuinely creative. The experience resembles visiting a zoo and seeing an animal completely zooted, bouncing off the enclosure walls. It might be concerning, but this is the entertainment your admission money purchased.

4. Anytime

Nine Vicious opens the album like someone who woke up looking for problems. On “Anytime,” he raps over a gorgeous trap instrumental filled with angelic background vocals, creating a hilarious contrast between the heavenly production and his confrontational mindset. Nine invites his opps to put him anywhere, assuring them that he is always prepared to handle business. Just in case anyone was considering getting close to him, he also announces that he is not accepting new friends. The chorus is catchy, his energy is infectious, and he manages to bounce off every available wall without making the track feel completely disorganized. Somehow, the chaos stays on schedule.

3. Classy Girls

“Classy Girls” hides a genuinely good song beneath approximately 700 layers of foolishness. You must first make it past the gunshots, someone bouncing around like the studio walls are made of trampolines, and a Michael Jackson impression that probably should have remained private. Once you survive all of that, however, the track begins to reveal its charm. The production mixes a sharp, menacing edge with gentle undertones that give the record unexpected dimension. Nine Vicious rides the beat well, matching its chaotic personality without completely losing control. The hook also does its job, delivering enough catchiness to keep the song in rotation. Trust me, there is gold buried somewhere inside this madhouse.

2. To Be Continued

Nine Vicious could have ended the album quietly, but that clearly was never an option. “To Be Continued” begins with bluesy trap production and sorrowful violins that sound ready to escort somebody’s casket down the aisle. Against that gloomy backdrop, Nine remains unmistakably himself: unpredictable, emotionally exposed, and hornier than anyone attending a funeral has a right to be. Just when the song appears to have established its identity, the second portion arrives and injects even more chaos into the production. Nine reacts by going fully feral, sounding like a veterinarian just confirmed he has entered the final stage of rabies. It is bizarre, explosive, and strangely fitting. By highlighting both his vulnerable and completely untamed sides, Nine finds the perfect way to close the project.

1. Casino

“Casino” is the moment SEDITION stops playing around. The instrumentation is incredible: riveting, multilayered, imaginative, and backed by bass powerful enough to send your entire crew home on stretchers. I could not tell you what Nine Vicious was talking about, and honestly, I did not care. His Thugger-esque delivery moves with the speed and precision of a ninja, making every unpredictable vocal turn sound thrilling. The beat eventually transforms into something heavier and almost magical, giving Nine permission to become even more animated with his flow and disrespectful with his s**t-talking. By the time the track finishes, it feels like you have survived the final level of an arcade game. Walahi, this joint blew me away.

RGM RATING

Nine Vicious made SEDITION for anyone who has ever wondered what Atlanta trap might sound like during a demonic amusement-park ride. The album is noisy, unpredictable, occasionally beautiful, and never more than a few seconds away from complete chaos.

Arriving only months after Emotions, the project extends an extremely active stretch for the Atlanta rapper. Nine clearly has no interest in carefully pacing his career. He is keeping his foot firmly on the gas, even if that means driving through a wall and arguing with the building’s owner afterward.

That recklessness works because Nine possesses natural magnetism. He has “it,” although whatever “it” is may require medical supervision. His vocals can sound smooth, vulnerable, animalistic, incoherent, and violently excited—sometimes within the same verse. You may not catch every bar, but his performances are captivating enough to keep you listening.

The outstanding production strengthens that appeal. Many tracks carry the bass-heavy aggression associated with Atlanta’s current underground scene, but SEDITION also ventures into cinematic, bluesy, heavenly, and video-game-inspired territory. These imaginative soundscapes provide Nine with the perfect environment to unleash his many personalities.

His aggression also carries extra weight because of the album’s rollout. Nine spent that period attacking rappers connected to YSL, YVL, LAZER DIM 700, and practically anyone else within shouting distance. By presenting himself as rap’s Rambo before SEDITION arrived, he made the album’s threats feel like pieces of a larger campaign. Every insult plays like another scene from his one-man war.

However, that aggression does not always produce compelling music. “Stranger Things,” “Zone 3,” “F**k Flags,” and “U.O.E.N.O” feature promising production and energetic moments, but Nine’s restlessness prevents them from fully developing. At times, he sounds so excited by a beat that he tries five different vocal approaches instead of committing to the strongest one.

Still, Nine Vicious has charisma, imagination, and an exceptional ear for production. More importantly, he has built an identity that separates him from the crowd. If he can improve his song structure and quality control without sacrificing the insanity, his ceiling could be ridiculously high.
