Taken from the new album “Magna Carta” which releases internationally on 3rd December 2012, this is the official video for the single “White Russian” by London’s Melanin 9 which also features Roc Marciano, produced by Anatomy

“Magna Carta” is Melanin 9’s debut album following renowned mixtapes High Fidelity and 144,000, and has received an exceptional media response, including magazines such as Clash, MOJO, Q Magazine, The Guestlist Network’s “Album of the Month” and many more from both sides of the Atlantic.

His recent “SkooledBy” performance for SBTV was featured by The Source in the United States, and he will be featured in France’s International Hip Hop Magazine shortly

His album launch night takes place Upstairs at The Vibe Bar, 91 Brick Lane, London E1 on Friday 23rd November 8pm – 1am (£5 entry, 18+). As well as performing tracks from his new album, he will be joined by Choice FM’s DJ 279, host Iron Braydz, and there will be further performances by Genesis Elijah, Rewd Adams, Cyrus Malachi, Logic, Phoenix da Icefire and Skriblah Dangogh

CD versions of the album can be pre ordered from http://m9ether.bandcamp.com

Anyone who is a fan of traditional hip hop from the Tru Skool / Golden Era will definitely be feeling this British emcee who has built up a reputation as one of the finest lyricists around today.
