MODE NINE IS BACK

Brainwavez mag is posting this one to alert you guys the mode is back for good>?>>>>> read through....









Veteran Nigeria rapper Segun Babatunde better known to the public as Mode9 has returned to the country after spending almost a year in the UK.
The rapper who left the shores of Nigeria in early July 2010 just after winning the award for ‘Lyricist on The Roll’ at the 5th edition of HipHopWorld Awards, travelled to the UK for the ‘Ikukulive Presents Bang The Hip-hop Takeover’ show which took place Saturday, July 24, 2010.
At the time, he had only just gotten his UK Passport (Born in England, Mode 9 has dual citizenship, but did not obtain the legal documents until last year) and it did not come as a shock when news emerged he was considering taking up permanent residence in the UK.

It was also rumoured that he had signed a management deal with Ikuku Records, a budding record label based in the UK but the news was never confirmed. In his time spent abroad, Mode 9 released a mixtape in October 2010 and a free album in January 2011. Even thought the six foot-plus size rapper was busy waxing songs, his absence was felt back at home.
Since his return, rumours have been flying that Mode9 has apparently signed with Serengeti Records, the same record label that houses rapper Godwon and producer/singer DJ Zeez. What’s not certain is whether he’s back here full time; or just back from a minute…
Mode9 who has released four albums so far in his career is gearing up to release his 5th studio album titled ‘Commercial Break’. He already gat some singles out titled "am back" and oga.
According to modenine he is gonna be dropin some thing for his hiphop head"John Boombastic" some time this year so no sellin out.......

" These boys invited me for a show and when I showed up to the venue, they tried to do me dirty, I and my entourage left the venue of the show immediately because i hate to be associated with controversies. He went further " right before we left, everyone that came for the show started running out, everywhere was soaked in confusion, my homeboy KP tried to find out what happened and he was told that a gay couple was caught in the act of homosexuality inside the bathroom of the club. We immediately drove off because of the unrest there. The next day, it is published on the news and what I hear is tat I am wanted by the police for slandering the boys who organized the show".

He in his explanation also told Us about the arrest of his sister and his 14 years old brother>

Can you imagine my brother is just 14 years old and you arrest him with a gun pointed to his head?Before i knew it, everyone starts to inbox my facebook, calling my fone and tweeting about me been arrested... lol. I can't believe this. Well everything has been halted and I'm walking this streets as a free man now"
