The Voice Newspaper Interview Melanin 9
The Voice Newspaper is a well known publication in London which has run from 1982, and has been regularly voted "Britain's Best Black Newspaper" for their coverage on a range of issues specific to the community including sport, current affairs, education, lifestyle, faith, career opportunites and entertainment.
The papers's Hazel Ann Williams took a trip up to Islington recently to interview one of the hottest emerging figures in the UK hip hop scene, melanin 9, to discuss his new album Magna Carta, his early days of starting out as an artist and his views on hip hop generally today.

There has been a tremendous amount of media coverage on Magna Carta in the UK primarily, and also in Europe and the United States since the promotional campaign began in the autumn of 2012. Hip Hop specialists, general urban music online and physical magazines, and national physical publications such as Clash, MOJO and Q Magazine have all featured reviews and interviews.
We predicted this, his debut album, would be a landmark release for this highly talented lyricist, and the international online coverage of his freestyle for SBTV and official videos, including "White Russian" ft Roc Marciano, premiered by Nah Right - a first for such a UK artist - has proven this to be the case.
Included in Wordplay Magazine and Bonafide Magazine top hip hop albums of 2012, there's little doubt this has been one of the biggest UK releases of last year within the genre
It is available to buy now from iTunes, and a physical CD format version is also available to buy direct from http://m9ether.bandcamp.com
