They say greatness is not what you accomplish, its what you overcome. For 29 year old Patrick Joseph Mensah (Nyne Millirachi), that’s exactly what he’s had to do throughout his teen years. With a God given talent of putting words together and creating classic quotes and amazing stories; Street Life City President Nyne Millirachi has been able to illustrate a portrait in which the quality is so high, blu ray would need to update a version to capture the motion picture. Life wasnt always easy for Nyne Milli; although he’s endured a lot of hardships growing up. Born in the mean streets of Harlem (around the time the cracc epidemic was heavy), Nyne’s Father landed a high paying job as an electrician, bought a house and relocated lil Nyne and the entire family to Mount Vernon NY, when Nyne was only 7 years old, just to get away from the city life which he thought would distract Nyne Milli. But little did they know, Mount Vernon NY, was just as hood and gutter as any other urban community in NYC.
Nyne was caught up in the Street Life at a very early age, gangbanging and running around with the Crips, which in turn would later result in him going through group homes, juvenile detention centers, and eventually he graduated to the state pen. But somehow through the grace of God, Nyne was able to pull through and fight through the obstacles and roadbloccs that was put in front of him. Now with a college degree in Performing Arts under his belt, a certified record label, and a website, with loyal artists’ under his resume, Nyne Millirachi has moved bacc to Harlem to start his legacy the right way because now he finally understands’ the business of entertainment, and he is ready to take his Street Life City Empire to another level.
Street Life City 1- If you would’ve told the critics, ten years from now, you would be C.E.O. of a fast growing empire, they wouldve just looked at you and laughed and called you crazy. What do you say to the critics now.
Nyne Millircahi 1- I tell em all succ a dicc with shit, piss, blood, semen, saliva, and all kinds of nasty shit in it. Tell em die slow. Look at me now hater, ya laughed at me. Ya called me crazy, and whats funny about this whole situation, I was talking about SLC ten years ago, I told niggas I was the future. Nobody beleived me, nobody took me serious, they said Nyne Milli we dont beleive in your rap career, stop dreaming; only very few knew I had the dream and vision. Now everybody else, is siccer the a cancer patient. They didnt beleive I was educated enough, they literally thought I was a psycho. Now this becrazed lunatic ya all like to label me, has a number 1 record (Trapaholics) on the hood charts, I have the number 1 chat on whatsapp, facebook superstar of the year 2012, MVP of the year, 2009, Hot 97 Boost Mobile Summerjam Rap Battle Winner, lets not name the rappers I’ve bodied and put out of business, college graduate, whos fuccing with me right now. And the same niggas that said I was a bum, with no money, it’s funny how I’ve had more jobs and bitches then any nigga you know in the hood. God is good, God is great, and God is given. So with that said, all you haters can die slow a thousand deaths.
Street Life City 2- Some say youre very proud, and you like to throw your success and accomplishments in other people’s face to bring them down, care to speak on that.
Nyne Millirachi 2- I wouldnt say Im intentionally trying to bring them down. I do admit I brag and boast; you wanna know why? Because they didnt beleive. They said I wasnt good enough, they belittled me, they thought I was beneath them, they shitted on me, they left me out in the desert to dry, while they all drunk out of the fountain. So now I use the accomplishments as a way of retribution. It was the good grace of my Lord, that I was able to counter, defend, and overcome any obstacle that was thrown at me. I’ll admit sometimes trying to climb that mountain was hard; the rocks my foot touched wasnt an easy step; but I never looked down, because I had to challenge myself. I said to myself if I never reach that mountaintop, I will never amount to anything in this life. I used the mountaintop as my motivation of success. And step by step, climb after climb, in due time I’ve finally made it to the peak. Now my next step is the promised land. The bible says ask and you shall receive, knocc and it will be given to you, search and you shall find. Our good Lord never lets us down, he always delivers his promises on time, if it’s in his will at least.
Street Life City 3- You literally started Street Life City by yourself, you even launched the website from scratch, no corporate investors, no bank loans, nothing, just you, and you’ve helped it reach an incredible success level independently, what is your secrets to success.
Nyne Millirachi 3- You have to be disciplined, determined, and dedicated. If you’re not, then you’re in the wrong business. The thing about me is my creativity and vision is outta this world. I read mad books, and I’m always on the internet. Even when I lay down at bed at night, I’m always thinking. I hear stories about how Ross made MMG global, how 50 put G-unit on the map, Cam bought all his Harlem niggas with him. Im fascinated with shit like that; because you think to yourself, these niggas were just regular niggas hanging on the blocc with a million dollar dream. I’m quite sure they didn’t think they was gonna reach that penacle of success; but they still put in that ground work with no days off until the window of oppurtunity was open for them, and they were able to capitlilize and build an empire. Look at Worldstarhiphop; I’m quite sure he didnt think he was gonna be that successful. His net worth is 70 million dollars, off of uploading videos alone, that’s fuccing insane, Come on you cant tell me this digital shit ain’t real. We’re at a point, niggas is getting rich and famous off of youtube viral views. So I said to myself fucc this shit, I want a piece of that digital bread. I can always rap, that ain’t going anywhere, but as of right now, I wanna focus on the website and generate a significant amount of revenue; cause trust and beleive when I drop that album, America is gonna wake up from the dead.
Streetlife City 4- When its all said and done, you will go down in history as one of the greatest lyricists to ever do it. Do you feel like you’ve gotten the respect you’ve deserve lyrically.
Nyne Millirachi 4- From the streets stand point, most definately, but in the music industry probably not. It’s because I’m not as well known as I want to be. But my goal isn’t to be the greatest lyricists; because one thing about music critics they are very ficcle and niggas find new rappers to succ off every year. I mean Gotdamn, at least be consistent with the dicriding. Lets say I was the best rapper alive, niggas will still succ off Jay, Nas, Pac, Biggie, etc, which is respectable, they all were great in their own way. But at this point of my career, Im almost 30, this rap shit is a young nigga’s game; I dont wanna prove Im the best lyrically. I’d rather shit on you with who got the most bread, who got the bigger and better crib, whip, gear, jewels, etc. As great as Lebron is, if he wouldve went his entire career without a chip, his contributions to the game of basketball wouldve meant as much as a Kobe Bryant or Micheal Jordan per say, and Im quite sure it wouldve ate him alive throughout his living days on earth. So ya niggas wanna be the best battle rapper, lyricists, be my guess, Im aiming to be the most successful one. Pdiddy doesn’t even write his own raps, hes not even taken serious as a rapper, but guess what, he’s number 1 on that forbez list, Dr. Dre is the first rap billionaire, and he hasnt put out an album since 1999. I doubt any regular rap nigga is ever gonna surpass him. It’s not what you do, its how you do it.
Street Life City 5- But wouldn’t that disappoint your rap fans, when you say you’re not trying to be the best rapper.
Nyne Millirachi 5- My intentions is not to disappoint them at all; but they have to understand, I’m talented in other areas. Why nobody ever bring me up in discussion when it comes to comedy, fashion, bitches, acting, story writing, making beats, deejaying, party promoting, etc. Im just as good in those areas, as I am with rap music. I just use rap as a way to get my foot in the door with other entities. If I had to choose, I’d rather do acting, cause that’s what I went to school for, besides it’s less competitive, and its longer jeopardy. Plus the pay rate is 20 times greater. Lets look at all the rappers turned actors, thats multimillionaires: Will Smith, Ice Cube, Ice T, LL Cool J, etc; and besides, my image is too hood, so in other words, the hood is only gonna fucc with my raps, and hood niggas dont buy albums. So Im a focus on this acting shit, write a couple novels and scripts; and be good from there. Plus only 5 percent of rappers receive royalty checcs, rappers make there money off tours, and with the day and age of the digital system, where downloading has increased dramatically within the last 5-7 years, nobody is buying albums anymore. Labels are hestitant to sign new acts and break them, the money aint flowing as it once was and the deals aint as lucrative as they once were. The only way an artist will see real finances in the music industry, is owning, publishing, his masters, and his very own record label.
Street Life City 6- What’s the benefits of owning a record label, and would you go Major or Indie
Nyne Millirachi 6- The benefits of owning a label, is you get much more of the proceeds, when your album sells, so if I put out Sman right now, and he sells “50,000” the album is 10 dollars per copy, if you do the math, thats 500 raccs in income. I pay uncle sam their 200,000 in taxes, maybe less since I own a tax id number, so I’ll find loopholes around the IRS, but lets say I only pay 200,000 in taxes. Thats 300,000 thousand split between me and Sman which is a 150,000 a peice. Not bad off a selling 50,000 independently. And thats not including show money, and merchandise money, that’s not including, publishing, thats not including the money I get from ads, off the traffic this website generates. Im fuccing rich as hell, I aint gon disclose my bank statement, for a nigga who’s not a worldwide name, my shit cray. So I would definately go Indie and cut all the middle man niggas out the way.
Street Life City 7- Speaking of Sman, he’s had a very successful interveiw earlier this year, and from what I got out of that interveiw is he’s loyal, focused and he’s down for the SLC movement. It’s to the point he’s ready to die for this Street Life City shit
Nyne Millirachi 7- Niggas fail to realize Sman is really a goon nigga. He live that Streetlife shit for real. That nigga come from the jungle, everybody around him is hitters. Sman just beat two hammers charges. His team is really in the feild getting busy with them Llamas. That’s my young boy, we grew up together. Every time I had beef, him, Des, and Big Bill and C-gunna was ready to ride with them hammers cocced bacc and they was gon terminate on sight. It aint a game over here with me, Im not for the talking; niggas I run with is squeeze first ask questions last type of niggas. Niggas dont know what beef is; I’ve seen niggas get mirked right in front of me; I’ve seen the toughest nigga turned bitch as soon as he went behind them walls, shit is real in the battlefeild; and if niggas aint bout that action, they need to keep they keep their mouth shut. Cause Im not the nigga to play around with, I’ll get you hit up something serious. I got the money to go to war with whoever, so niggas better not play around with me, cause it’s gon be an ugly summer if I get on my bullshit. As for Sman, he’s good no matter what, he dont really need to rap, it’s just a hobby to him; Sman could be a hit away his whole career, but as long as Im alive he’s a millionaire. But I guarantee you Im gonna put his name on the map, and Im gonna bring him to that Superstar level. One thing about me with this entertainment shit is I can take a regular nigga or a chicc and I can turn them into an overnight celebrity. I’ve studied the game for 15 years, I know what people like, I follow the trends, I pay attention to the celebrity gossip, I keep my ears to the streets, and Im certainly in touch with my Mensaholics; so I know what I have to do to get Sman out there. And if it’s gonna take Hard Beats and Fire Hooks to build his buzz up then so be it. Shit I’ll even pay certain rappers with a decent industry buzz to get on the tracc with him, to get his name out there. But trust and beleive me when I tell you Sman is gonna have the number 1 album of the year, when Im finished with him. A-1 Murder is on the way, please beleive that. Look out for it.
Street Life City 8- You starred in a Broadway Play called “Women Who Love Too Much”, the act did extremely well and sold out locally, but after that you cut ties with the director, care to speak on that.
Nyne Millirachi 8- It goes bacc to what I said with the Independent route. I made that nigga 50,000 off that play alone. The bitches came to see me, Im hood famous, so niggas was gonna come regardless to the show, plus there was bitches, blunts, and bottles present, so I was gon do those numbers regardless. It was just my popularity bought more of a crowd. Nobody knew that who that Producer was, until I endorced the play. And after the play was over, he had the nerve to offer me a bullshit 1000 dollar contract, I looked at this nigga like fucc outta here, for I smack the shit outta you. Fucc’s a 1000 dollars, I make that on the blocc. It’s just a lot of behind the scenes corporate politics and speculation that the general public doesnt know about. A lot of your favorite rappers, actors, etc, is getting jerked for there publishing. Thats why I tell niggas, dont be so quicc to sign those papers and get in this industry without proper consultation from legal experts. Because you gon sign some shit thats gon leave you in Bankruptcy for the rest of your life. They make shit look glamorous, and glittery to portray a fasaud to the general public, but niggas is going through depression in this industry. Trust me I know. But as far as the acting thing, unless I get into a Union with great benefits, or a film company is willing to cut me millions of dollars to display my talent. Im a stay independent and do the shit myself. Cause in all reality, I can just buy my a High Definition Camera, and an Apple Mac Pro, with a Movie Editor, hire a professional to put the peices togethor and convert it into dvd, and there you have it, I have my very own Street Life City Film, produced by Nyne Millirachi.
Street Life City 9- Your Album “Welcome To Street Life City” Is Scheduled For A Summer release, will it be released on an indie or major.
Nyne Millirachi 9- To be honest with you, me as a solo artist, I’d rather go the Major Label route, because they have the big funding I need to hit areas, such as London, Hong Kong, Nigeria, and The Carribean. Yeah you can do these things digitally yourself, but its nothing like when your face is on Billboards worldwide, it’s nothing like when a machine like Def Jam, Atlantic, Interscope, etc, gets behind your project and really put you out there. I already know, once I touch a Major Label, Im going to take off. There’s no denying the presence of Nyne Millirachi, I have an image, charisma, swag, I think better then the average nigga, the bitches love me, the hood fucc with me, I can really rap, got a mean flow, hit records out the ass, plus Im marketable, lets be honest with ourselves here, whos fuccing with me. As far as Street Life City, I’d run that independently so I dont have to beg the labels to sign Sman, so I dont have to try to convince Lior, or Jimmy that Dotcom is the next biggest thing in Jersey, or Brook Holiday is one of the greatest rmb singer of our generation. I’m not succing no nigga dicc and I’m not kissing no corporate ass to get put on. Fucc it, if I have to get on my Papoose shit and start taking over shows, and bumrushing stages, to get heard, aight then fucc it. Im a Harlem nigga that grew up in the grimey parts of Mount Vernon NY, I’ve been around thug ass NY niggas that like to take what they feel is theres. Im use to niggas that be thugging the shit out of the bouncers and club owners, until we get our way in the venue. So dont make me get on my hood shit. But I’d rather just tell the label fucc you, Im spending my own money, Im a put them niggas out myself, triple the prophet independently and make millions off of mininum sales.
Street Life City 10- It was rumored that you was going to sign a 1.5 million dollar deal with Def Jam, whatever happened with that.
Nyne Millirachi 10- The rumor was very true, I had the biggest single out on college radio; the name of the song was Terrorist it featured Brook Holiday. All the college parties was jamming to it, and I won the Summerjam contest, so it put me on the map, which caught the eye of an ANR. But they tried to offer me a 360 deal, and I said nah Im not with it. I own my own label, I write my own music, make my own beats, record in my own studio, I market and promote myself, and make my own videos. Shiiiiiitt I own my own website, so why should they get a percentage of my cut. All I really wanted was distribution, they wasnt tryna hear that, so I told them no, fucc outta here, go find another succer to pimp. So the deal never fell through, they end up replacing me by signing Trinidad James to 2 million dollars that same year with that bullshit ass All Gold Single. Trinidad flopped, the ANR got fired, lmfao it’s funny how the ties turn.
Street Life City 11- Some say your 2000 dollar prices, for a beat, a feature or an Appearane is very harsh, what’s your defense.
Nyne Millirachi 11- There’s nothing to defend. You have to pay for quality. The problem with niggas is they wanna acheive success without paying dues, niggas wanna shortcut and take the easy way out. Niggas always tryna get over, its like a feen always tryna cop credit from a nigga, knowing damn well he aint gon pay him bacc. Niggas is so thirsty for a hit record, they’ll sell you any kind of dream, if you buy into it at least. Try to get beat from Swizz, Dre, Timbo, Kanye, or one of them niggas and you see if my 2000 dollar beat fee is harsh then. Try to get Jay-z, Puff, or 50 cent to feature on a song and see if my price is outrageos then. Try to get Two Chainz, Ricc Ross, or French Montanna to host your party, try to get Flex, Clue, or Drama to Dee Jay your gig, and when they tell you there numbers, come bacc to me then. And sometimes, niggas beats is plain, sometimes rappers dont really say shit in their features, and some of these DJ’s play the same bullshit rotation of music, some of these artist you pay wild bread to show up at your venue, is only there for 10 minutes, then they on to the next one; and ya wanna talk about harsh, you niggas have nerve. At least you know youre gonna get quality out of me. At least you know Im gonna host and Dee Jay a good show, at least you know youre gonna get a sicc verse on any feature I do. I try to maintain the highest quality ever, cause once your product is top notch, and you satisfy the consumer, you will always be in demand. In other words, money will always follow you like 5-0.
Street Life City 12- What can we expect from this album and who can we expect on it
Nyne Millirachi 12- Trust and beleive me when I tell you me album is gonna be a super classic. I’m taking my time with it. I originally was suppose to get a heavy all star team, I was gon holla at French, Loaded Lux, Jadakiss, Nipsey, but that wouldve costed me some crazy bread. I got the money, but why waist it, when I can create my own all star line up, and give these new niggas a chance to shine. There’s a lot of talent around me, and you gon see them work their magic on my album. I got Xpress on the album, Sman, Brose, Cal Blue, Battman, Dotcom, Joel Jungle, Brook Holiday, Og Rev, and many more. This is an album you do not want to miss. The hype is crazy and when it drops, I guarantee you it’s gonna supersceed any expectation.
Street Life City 13- So why is it, so many rappers complain about labels jerking them, or not paying them any money, or you see your favorite artist who was hot bacc then, now working at Walmart.
Nyne Millirachi 13- Usually that be the artist fault. Niggas do typical nigger shit, lets say the label give you a Half A Million dollar advance. That money is suppose to be used for promotion, marketing, recording, and anything else that relates to your album. An advance money is a survival method, to prep you until your album comes out. Remember, Royalty checcs come only twice a year. And nobody is selling records like that anymore, so the label is always recouping, thats why you have to spend your budget wisely, until you start touring, and even then the label has made these devilish 360 deals where they got their hands on everything, they want a peice of your tours, yours merchandise, your endorcements. And its only gonna get worse within years to come. The record labels, is damn near extinct. They have another 10 years, before they are completely wiped off the map. Shit is simple like mathemathics. Niggas are just dumb and not business savy at all, thats why niggas is broke in the rap game. It aint the label fault, it’s the dumb nigga fault. Aint nobody told your stupid ass to spend your advance money on fancy jewels, cars, strippers, mollies and all the other typical nigger shit most of these dumb niggas do in the hip hop industry. What you shouldve did with that money was invest in small businesses, such as a barber shop, a deli, a little pizza store, laundrymat, etc, shit buy some cracc and powder and flood the strip. I be damned if I take my hard earned money and make it rain on some skank bitch, with artificial body parts, fucc outta here, I’d rather chew glass.
Street Life City 14- Where do you see SLC ten years from now.
Nyne Millirachi 14- At the top of the foodchain as I envision, this label, the music, and this website is gonna open doors for me in so many ways. Soon Im gonna open up a couple restaurants, “Street Life City Kitchen” I’m a open up a few Barbershops And Hair Salons “Street Life City Beautician” and even start my own Street Life City Bus Company. This way I can create jobs and give the blacc community an oppurtunity. I might even open up a business school, but all that is gon be when im in my late 30s. Fuccing with me, youre gonna get money and youre gonna be able to provide for your family. That’s how I play over here. Im not one of these Hollywood niggas, that get rich and forget where I come from. I bless those as, God always bless me. If Jesus can feed 5000 men with only two loaves of bread and two peices of fish, then you cant tell me Nyne Milli cant make changes in the hood to improve someone’s else’s lifestyle.
Street Life City 15- Nyne thank you for this wonderful interveiw, and we hope to hear from you again.
Nyne Millirachi 15- The pleasure is all mine, look out for Sman’s “A-1 Murder”, Joel Jungle’s “City That Never Sleeps”, and Nyne Milli’s “Welcome To Street Life City” Album all coming soon. Streetlife Is The Movement, Fucc With Us Or Fucc You.
