Musicbagg: How did you start out as a rapper?
Aim9:Well I always loved music, playing around every time I visited my cousins we sang a lot but there was this 1 time I visited one of ma cousins in Abuja back in 2007, he had a studio, nd we record, wasn't really any good then but seeing the peops he was working with and how good he was inspired me, so I decided when I finally moved to dubai to take time to write a few lines while listening to a lot of dope artist , MA goons over there kept pushing me telling me I was really good nd I should continue, even introducing me to some of thier good acts over there so I guess that was part of how it all started.
Musicbagg:Aside doing music, what else would you have done
well?
Aim9:Well I love flying nd heights, am currently a student pilot working on becoming a pilot.
Musicbagg:How do you handle your female fans?

So I appreciate them and they know that, as a matter of fact I just did a new track dedicated to them, it's called dat way ,had to get the likes of 3zzy and Yung Millz to help me tell em I love em Dat way.

musicbagg:Less talk about something new, we saw on ur twitter that you about to drop a new song title BAD MAN?
Aim9:Oh yeah Badman, it's crazy, with sick punching hausa lyrics, it's gonna be Mad, just recieved it's crazy Artwork designed by non other than USB designs, can't wait to drop it, loads of peops been anticipating it's drop for a while now so I guess I just have to give them what they've been waiting on even though the drop date isn't out yet, I'mma say sorry for the wait but best believe it's gonna be worth every bit of the wait.
Musicbagg:Why did you write or
decide to play that
song?
Aim9:Well I figured my fans wud like to hear a different style from me apart from my normal urban pattern, the beat was crazy and made by YUNGZIL, had to just bounce on it, make every 1 know apart from the likes of classiq, morell, kheengz, dj Ab and b.o.c madaki another Badman is Around repping Arewa.

Cole, immortal technique, Sean Paul, Kanye West, 2 chains, snoop dogg and Bob Marley , while home based I'mma go with M. I, jesse jagz,sarkodie, mode 9, reminisce, Wizkid, tuface, ice prince, Yung 6, and mamman shata I pretty much learn and pickup a lot from almost every amazing artist out there.
Musicbagg:Which famous musicians do you admire? Why?
Aun9:Eminem, Lil Wayne,I mean they are just so good they took the whole rap game to an entire different level, u know, shit thier lyrics are litterally like the bomb nd in Nigeria il have to go with M.I cos his versatile with his flow and 1 of the best artist to me due to his hard hitting punchlines or rather Cyphers but the top of the top for me is eminememinem.
Musicbagg:Who is your mentor?
Aim9:Wow I feel like I am my own mentor cos I wanna stay real nd unique but if that's me being selfish then I guess there will be a few like Lil Wayne, Abiz da whiz , immortal technique, Nas, MI, mode 9 but to top the list it's g2 be Slim shady, only cos he put me in a position to really never give up, put in 100 nd not give a FUCK bout what people say or think.
Musicbagg:What is your take on people saying you sound like slim shady?
Aim9:Well I won't say I sound like slim shady, Id only hope with time I'd be half as good as that monster lol, tho I might sound like him hence a few peops on d streets say so, buh I'm trying to stick to making mine an original piece.
Musicbagg:Bad man is the talk on lipz now when are u dropping the song?
Aim9:Well very very soon,the management want it dropped early next month but am trying my best for the sake of the patient fans who have been on my neck waiting for quite a while now so hopefully this month, we will surely announce the drop date 9 days to the drop so they anticipate a lil more #3fsorry4Dwait.

Musicbagg:All your life you have based out side Nigerian, you grow up in Dubai and you spent a few years in the USA, what are the differences between out side music and Nigerian music?
Aim9:Wow, well with such improvements in the nigerian music industry nowadays I won't say there's much of a difference, even tho there are a few differences cos we are actually improving so fast, our sounds cud still use some improvements , mind u I'm not saying we ain't good, am just saying theres still room for better sounds compared to outside, also I feel we nigerians need to be open minded with our genres cos that's 1 major factor,because of how open minded outsiders are, they appreciate music from everywhere including Nigeria, we see it all the time they make vids singing our songs, dancing to it but as an artist in Nigeria if u decide to go for something new like rock for instance they not appreciated over here, it's pretty hard to make it far over here if u are not appreciated in ur country and u stick to those styles so to say we are improving but there's still quite a few difference.
Musicbagg: have you worked with any kaduna artist yet? If any how many?
Aim9:Wow quite a few, iv worked with 3zzy, skinny Boi, emmyli, Dj Ab,Adija, urban, Skimmy, reborn, lil fiz etc currently working with Teddybaggs, nd drizzle on something remarkable, soon to be dropping too #Anticipate.
Musicbagg:You have worked with classiq ,Which international artist will u love to work with again?
Aim9:Well I'd surely like to work with jesse Jags, Yung 6, and morell, been in talks with quite a few big names as of recent but the top 2 being worked on by my management are skales and Dej loaf tho it should not be expected until September when we will be disclosing further details.
Musicbagg: which producer do u love working with the most ?
Aim9:Wow that's a tough 1 cos as much as i love the beats produced by sukeez, sinima beats nd Joe casperson , the fun sections with Abiz da whiz,at the end of the day I'mma have to simply go with jessebeatz then at all if there's another spot on there it wud be dj steeve cos em 2 a beasts when it comes to production.
Musicbagg:What has been your challenges? So far?
Aim9:Well am speechless ,not because there's no challenges but cos they are all minor, only 1 I'd have to say is attending shows, due to having lots of other things going , tho my fans are understanding, i feel I should be making more appearances for thier support but i have lots of other stuffs to work on in order to be always on schedule to give them what they want,so I select shows I attend tho I promise with time I'd make it up to them with more appearances.
Musicbagg:What’s your advice for up-and-coming artistes?
Aim9:On a normal day I'd say things like stay focused,love what u do, believe in ur self, but that'd be cliche cos if u ain't in it with those then u shud just forget it , my only advice wud be to be smart nd never give up, listen to others u aspire to be like and working ur ass off giving it 100 until either ur better than them or u feel ur better than them (yes I used the term feel) cos having confidence, ego nd knowing ur worth can help u make a statement convincing every 1 that supports u, to know that u are d real deal, weather ur bad or good, u are what u sell , difference only lies in ur marketing ability to sell it off to their liking.
Musicbagg: we know you have lots of friends but say a shout to just 4 peez of yours.
Aim9:Wow just 4, why not 9?
Musicbagg:Lol I see u aim9 , go on make ur S/0 to 9 peops.
Aim9:Aiight cool now u talking, lol shout out to MA nigguhs 3zzy, Teddy baggs, lil fiz, Ay Bukar, Asmat Atiho, Ahmed Sabih, whole Raynation crew,#3f and MA fam, #Appreciate all the love & support.
