Following a creative evolution from his early days as a rapper to becoming a versatile melodic force, Port Harcourt’s own 9T9 releases his latest single, “Soul Food”. The track, now available on all major streaming platforms via ONErpm, finds the singer, songwriter, and producer leaning fully into a blend of Afro-fusion, alternative R&B, and neo-soul to deliver a heartfelt tribute to love.
Born Divine Odiegba, 9T9 has spent years refining a sound that balances the vibrant energy of Rivers State with a more grounded, emotional storytelling approach. In “Soul Food”, he uses this signature style to serenade a partner who serves as both a muse and a source of personal growth. The lyrics serve as a romantic celebration of unique beauty and shared connection, with 9T9 opening the track by reassuring his love interest: “Girl I Told You Time And Time And That Nobody Is Finer.”
The song explores the intersection of physical attraction and deep emotional attachment. 9T9’s delivery is relaxed yet intentional, perfectly capturing the comfort and ease found in a relationship that feels natural. By using the phrase “soul food,” he describes a bond that provides nourishment beyond the surface, suggesting a partner who is both sustaining and essential to his well-being.
The production of the single complements its romantic themes with warm melodies and a steady, rhythmic pulse that allows the vocals to remain the focal point. It is a record that speaks to the clarity of finding someone who truly stands out and the importance of expressing that admiration without reservation.
9T9’s journey from the Port Harcourt rap scene to his current melodic path has been defined by a commitment to rhythm and resonance. With “Soul Food”, he continues to establish himself as a thoughtful voice in the contemporary Afro-fusion landscape.
The single is out now and ready for global streaming.
