Church Road's finest, Nines, has returned with the sequel to his critically-acclaimed 2018 album with Crop Circle 2. His last album, Crabs In A Bucket, hit No. 1 back in 2020.

Nines' fourth studio album, executively produced by Show N Prove and Karlos, stands at 15 songs long and features an eclectic spread of the UK rap scene's new and more established heavy-hitters, including Wretch 32, Clavish, Tiggs Da Author, Skrapz, and Kojey Radical. He's also announced the sequel to his 26-minute directorial debut, the short film Crop Circle, which he premiered to a select few lucky guests last night. You can expect that on Sunday night (April 30).

With the rap game in a somewhat quiet spell, Nines' return couldn't be more welcome. He's been one of the scene's biggest figures for a long time now, but he's spent some time out of the limelight. And after his most recent hiatus in the last few years, fans will see his return as a victory in itself.

Crop Circle 2 is a resounding reminder of what we've been missing. Press play after the jump.
