British rap artist Nines has announced plans for his final album, titled Quit While You're Ahead, scheduled to release on September 27th. This announcement marks a significant milestone in the artist's career, as he prepares to conclude his time in the music industry. Nines revealed his album during a dramatic drone display at London’s O2 Arena, which took place at Magazine London. The spectacle highlighted his dedication to engaging with his audience even as he gears up for his exit.
In conjunction with the album release, Nines will host a farewell headline show on November 27th at the O2 Arena, a venue that holds particular significance in his career. Tickets for the performance will be available starting September 19th at 10 am BST through Livenation.co.uk.
The lead single, 'Tony Soprano 3,' produced by RQ1of1 x J3C, embodies Nines’ evolution as an artist and cements his reputation within the British rap scene. His first album, One Foot In, released in 2017, peaked at #4 on the UK Albums Chart, and was followed by Crop Circle in 2018, which featured his inaugural UK Top 40 hit, 'I See You Shining.'
Nines has garnered widespread acclaim, particularly for his pandemic-inspired project, Crabs In A Bucket, which topped the UK Albums Chart. His remarkable accolades include multiple wins at the 2020 MOBO Awards, including Album of the Year, alongside his impressive milestone of over 100 million global streams. His recent effort, Crop Circle 2, became the most-streamed British album within its release week, further solidifying his legacy.
For fans looking for a preview of what his last project will offer, the video for 'Tony Soprano 3' is available, directed by Nines himself. His contributions to the British rap landscape have left a lasting impact, making both the upcoming album and his farewell performance events that are highly anticipated in the music community.
