Lost Tapes

Nines returns with Lost Tapes, a set of unreleased recordings made across his years as a full-time rapper, available now on streaming platforms. It captures a vital run in his catalogue and finally brings long-unheard material out into the open.

The collection draws from the era around Crabs in a Bucket, his UK Number 1 album, when Nines fully committed to rap. He recorded more than he could release, and much of it never reached fans. Two years into retirement, he’s decided the time is right.

He closed his rap career in 2024 with Quit While You're Ahead, his sixth and final album on Zino Records, alongside a sold-out O2 Arena show in London. Since then, Nines has moved into film and TV with Ice City and Crop Circle Farm.
