Toronto’s rap scene just felt the impact of a heavy hitter. N1N3 K9 is making it clear he’s not waiting for a seat at the table—he’s taking it. His latest release Ahead of the Game is exactly that: a track built for anyone who knows they’re steps ahead of the competition and isn’t afraid to show it.
The production, handled by N1N3 K9 himself, carries that perfect mix of 90s grit and modern energy. It’s the type of beat that hits you in the chest while the bars cut through with precision. Every line oozes confidence, making it impossible not to feel the hunger and drive behind the words.
Then there’s the music video—shot by Toronto’s Aaron Alter—that flips everything up a level. Inspired by The Matrix, N1N3 K9 steps into his own digital world, moving like Neo with the rap game in his sights. Dodging distractions and flexing his position, the visuals are clean, cinematic, and powerful. It’s not just a video—it’s a visual flex that puts the city on notice.
With Ahead of the Game, N1N3 K9 isn’t asking for respect—he’s demanding it. Toronto knows what’s up, and it won’t be long before everyone else catches on. Run up the video on YouTube, stream it heavy on Spotify, and stay locked in with N1N3 K9 on Instagram @n1n3k9.
