Copenhagen based rapper and cellist Blessing Tanson makes a many sided combination of beat-based rap with hidden depths. Music has been an irreplaceable part of his life from a young age; now he’s gone from youth choirs and a specialist music school to the wilderness of the internet music scene where he’s boldly creating a strong following

Many artists are familiar with the first spark of inspiration. The moment the universe began to make sense was ignited for Blessing when hearing American rapper YNW Melly. This kicked off a hunt for beats on YouTube which quickly spiralled into a DIY attitude and unique method of digging deep for emotions and atmosphere. 9nineglock is a rapper and a singer carving out a unique niche on the other side of the Atlantic from his inspirations- and standing apart with bilingual Danish-English lyrics and cello parts to bring out his particular brand of emotion.

Rhythmic and introspective, he includes lyrical flow, airy production, and half-sung, half-spoken RnB style vocals with a gentler sound than some of his influences- Lil Mosey, Lil Tecca, and YNW Melly. With a strong connection to the youth of Copenhagen, he sums up the emotional rollercoaster familiar to creatives with the effortless, experimental attitude of the online underground rap scene combined with his own spin from the city around him and his experiences as a cellist & rapper.
