The album NI was released on Friday June 30, 2023.
Composed of 16 tracks, Ninho’s fourth album titled IN revealed itself with a real international dimension. The 27-year-old rapper invited Nigerians Omar Lay and Ayra Starr. The British Central Cee is also there as well as the American Lil Baby. The Jefe even revealed the circumstances under which the collaboration with Baby was carried out.
Nest to invest
On the sidelines of the album’s release, Ninho gave an interview to Mehdi Maïzi on the show The code. Far from the usual setting of the Apple Music show, the two men exchanged in 77, the area where it all started for Ninho.
About the collaboration with Lil Baby, Ninho explains from the 18th minute that it’s just a proposal from beatmaker Shayaa. ” The Lil Baby for example is Shayaa. He sends me this and he says, “sounds Lil Baby huh, anyway huh. Imagine we call it? Call him brother” »
It is this last order of Shayaa which will have designed this collaboration. Ninho embarks on the process. “I thought it was like outside. I call a guy and he will help me. It’s a bit more complicated. Already, he is in Atlanta. So how are you going to find people who are in Atlanta who are going to tell him about me? We go through networks. »
Ninho therefore announces that he is activating the networks and then he comes across a friend of his, Nico who lived in Atlanta. “I call him, “Hey Nico, you told me you had connections in Atlanta. Find Month Lil Baby”“, said the NI. His friend is ready to help him, but against a large sum, part of which should go to Lil Baby. The amount has not been revealed but French says it cost “Cher”.
Connections are made with Warner, which also intervenes to facilitate collaboration. Ninho indicates that he used Shayaa’s proposed instrumental and made his submission. Behind the scenes, the approaches were made a few weeks before Paris Fashion Week and the main argument was the similarity in personality between the Frenchman and the American.
The talent of the NI also seems to have convinced Lil Baby who completed his verse in 24 hours.« Il [Lil Baby] said: “if it’s good, in 24 hours, I’ll send you back my verse”», said Ninho «I send him the sound and 24 hours later, I receive the sound in my bed. I’m listening, it’s crazy. »
For the record, Ninho just wanted Lil Baby to put 8 verses, but the latter, very inspired, gave the Frenchman a long verse. “I told him: “Just put an 8, I’ll bust your balls”“Ninho confessed about his expectation of the American rapper. “Il [Lil Baby] said: no I am a 40 or a 30 ”. And he went to his room, he wrote and sent it back to me the same evening.»
The two rappers connected on the title Blue Story.
