Nine-Comes from Galatians 5:22-26, the 9 fruits of the spirit. "UP" Stands for Unify People At the beginning of the new century, Clinton” Nine Up” Hopkins joined Teddy "Nobody" Brooks to form the seminal L.A. gospel rap group C.L. Ryderz (a.k.a. Christ Life Ryderz). They quickly signed to ChristSyde Records and, in January 2004, made history by being the first Christian rap group to perform on the nationally televised show “Soul Train”. Their success continued to build, culminating in three successful albums and a progression of television/radio appearances including TBN, BET and The Word Network (which currently has their video “Do You Know” in rotation, as well as all of the major radio stations throughout Southern California). They have also seen a great deal of editorial coverage in publications like Source Magazine, the quintessential source for all things rap. After the success of C.L. Ryderz, Nine Up took some time off from music to focus on his own community by taking Jesus back to the streets where he came from and seeing God move in the lives of the youth in Moreno Valley, CA. He is now set to release his first nationwide solo album entitled “Christ Life Or Nothin'." The foundation of the album is built upon John 14:6 – Jesus’ proclamation that "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". The album deals with a wide array of worldly issues – from women in bad relationships (“Want To Be Free”) to issues arising from imprisonment (“Westside Streets”), as well as spiritual issues – from the relationship between God and man (“I Know You Hear Me”) to what the future holds for all Christians (“When He Returns” and “Kaotic”). With a huge fan base across the nation, Nine Up is set to begin his solo ministry by taking back the streets for Christ. Christ Life or Nothin’. Who’s with it?
