Kinetic 9 aka Berretta 9 is a member of the incredibly artistic group KILLARMY, an affiliation of the legendary group WU TANG CLAN. He is a gifted, talented MC originally from Steubenville Ohio. 4 Disciple, another Ohio native & the group producer of Wu Tang Clan introduced Kinetic to the group. Through hard work and determination, they became one of the earliest and successful groups that emerged out of the Wu Tang camp in the early 90’s. They went on to record three successful albums “Silent weapon, for Silent war” (1997), Dirty weapon for Dirty war (1999) and their last one, Fear, Love and War on the (2001).
Kinetic has worked closely with Wu Tang’s mastermind “RZA” to collaborate on some dynamic songs. He appeared on all three of RZA’s album. The second album “Digital Bullets” is where he exercised his valuable skills by appearing in many songs, i.e. the hit single ”LA RHUMBA”. Also, Kinetic and RZA fused their talents on the track called “TAKE YOUR SWORD which was featured on Afro Samurai’s soundtrack. “Part 1” is a true example of Wu Tang’s heat for their die hard fans and real hip hop lovers.

Kinetic’s international efforts included touring with RZA. He also paired off with Killarmy’s brother SHOGUN to be the headline of the successful European “Killa Bee” concerts, and paired with other Wu affiliates. With the warm greeting and support of the European fans, Kinetic plans on continuing and pursuing more overseas dates.

Not only is Kinetic a performer, he has expanded his creative talents into producing. Kinetic has finally started producing for brilliant artists such as Method man (4:20) and Wu affiliate Freemurda with the hopes of making sounds for other rap lyricists alike.

Kinetic is striving and ready to push his efforts towards a solo album. He recently dropped a mixtape “Kinetic Radio Vol 1” for his loyal fans, which is distributed and available at his shows. A re-mastered version will soon be available for order. And coming soon, Kinetic will drop another mixtape to keep his fan base enthused and satisfied. He is diligently working hard on his solo album for which he aims to highlight his individualism, but parallels the best sounds of his Killarmy and Wu Tang’s genre. Read more on Last.fm.
