Treyvion Deronta Echols (born July 12, 2002), professionally known as Nine Vicious, is an American recording artist from Athens, Georgia.

In an mini interview with 8 God, Nine grew up in Atlanta, where he used to play basketball during his childhood years. He also explained how he got his stage name and what it meant:

Nine meaning completion and Vicious from like Sid Vicious, but also my favorite Izaya Tiji song is called “Nine,” and like that’s my goat.

The earliest known music from Nine Vicious dates back to 2019, where he released his debut EP, SLIME BROTHERS, to which it has since been deleted.

During the end of 2024, Nine Vicious released his debut mixtape, Studio Addict, which became a minor success. However in early 2025, the album started to gain more attention, with songs such as “F&N,” “Tokyo,” and “Studio Addict” gaining attention through social media. His earlier single “U Fancy” would also share the same success, going as far as getting co-signed by Atlanta’s own Young Thug.

Nine Vicious is also known for taking huge inspirations from other artists such as Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, the previously mentioned Young Thug and Prince to name a few, from similar and/or replicating artworks to the overall sound of Nine’s music with sampled beats.

Throughout the span of January and February 2025, Nine Vicious released a slew of promotional EP’s to gear up the release of his sophomore mixtape, Tumblr Music. On March 1, 2025, it was announced by Lil Gotit that Nine Vicious is signed to Young Stoner Life Records, the label ran by Thugger. Tumblr Music, the sophomore mixtape from Nine Vicious, would then see a release on March 31, 2025.

From there, Nine would continue to release a slew of singles and EP’s, leading up to his next big release, For Nothing, which released on July 4, 2025. In September 2025, Nine confirmed through the song “Baguettes,” as well as through private messages on Instagram that he had left Young Stoner Life Records, despite having zero releases from the label.

Nine is now expected to release two projects: EMOTIONS and SEDITION, sometime before the end of the year, as well as a collaboration tape with ApolloRed1.
