Courtney Freckleton, known by most as Nines or Nina wid da Nina, is a British rapper hailing from the North-West London Church Road housing estate of Church End in Harlesden. He is a member of Church Road Soldiers, Crime Scene Boyz and Ice City Boyz alongside Skrapz, Fundz, MIG, longtime friend Likkle T, Fatz and more. Nines made his debut into the scene with his mixtape From Church Road To Hollywood in 2011 under the promotion of Link Up TV.
It was with this mixtape that Nines amassed a reputation as one of UK’s most promising rappers. However, his association with Link Up TV ended when they tried to mug him off and thus began his relationship with SBTV, Jamal Edwards’ channel, began.
Before the release of his second mixtape though, he got arrested (sometime in July of 2013) for “possession of cannabis with intent to supply” and was sentenced to 18 months in jail; this is why the mixtape was titled Gone Till November. During his time in jail he encouraged his fans to write him to keep his head up.
