High-velocity Florida trap defined by a distinctive nasal flow and rapid-fire delivery. Aggressive, rhythmic, and built for heavy bass systems.

9lokknine brings a frantic, high-voltage energy that feels like a live wire sparking in a humid Florida night. His sound is dominated by a very specific, high-pitched nasal vocal tone that cuts through even the densest bass like a laser. It is music that refuses to sit still, characterized by staccato rhythms and a relentless forward momentum that demands your attention.
What truly sets him apart is the 'chopper' influence integrated into a modern trap framework. While many of his contemporaries lean into melodic mumble or moody atmospheres, 9lokknine doubles down on technical speed and percussive vocal placement. His flow often mimics the hi-hats of the beat, creating a synchronized, mechanical intensity that feels both disciplined and chaotic.
Start with '223's' for the mainstream hook that made him a household name, then dive into '10 Percent' to hear his raw, unadulterated speed. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments that require a sharp, aggressive edge and a high BPM to keep the adrenaline moving.
Jacquavius Dennard Smith (born May 1, 2000), known professionally as 9lokkNine (ɡlɑk-naɪn, formerly typeset as GlokkNine), is an American rapper. He is best known for his guest appearance on YNW Melly's 2019 single "223's", which peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. Prior, he garnered a regional following with the release of his 2018 singles "10 Percent" and "Crayola", and signed with Birdman's Cash Money Records, an imprint of Republic Records in August of that year. His 2019 single and major label debut, "Beef" (featuring NLE Choppa and Murda Beatz), preceded the release of his debut commercial mixtape, Mind of Destruction (2019), both of which failed to chart.
