Bronx, NY - “What do you think? If someone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go and search for the stray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over that sheep more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.” [Matthew 18:12-13]

We’ve all had our own experiences in life. Some of us have been sheltered and protected while others have been forced to survive among the wolves. Yet, despite our backgrounds, we are all sought out by the Shepherd. The grittiness of life simply adds an additional layer to our redemption story. We are all beautiful and made pure by the sacrifice of our Savior. We no longer have to compare ourselves to the Ninety Nine, our value is so much that He will leave the rest to bring us home.

Ayo Shamir has created more than another hip-hop album with his new project Ninety Nine, released on November 24, 2023.

Ninety Nine is an orchestra of gritty boom bap dripping with the hunger of the top lyrical spitters within the Christian rap space today. The album features the acclaimed singles “Head of Goliath,” “Bunk Beds,” and “All I Need.”

Fully produced and engineered by Ayo Shamir, the Bronx beatmaker has cemented himself as the premier creator of East Coast, boom-bap tracks among Christian hip hop. Ninety Nine simply adds an exclamation mark to the sentiment. Featured artists on the project include C4 Crotona, Rigz Carrington, Datin, Mickey Factz, Selah The Corner, Q-Flo, YP aka Young Paul, and more.

Ninety Nine is a bridge between the streets and the church house, providing listeners with a unique sonic experience. Ayo Shamir crafted an album for the fans of classic hip-hop that brings the golden era into today’s musical landscape. It is without a doubt a top release of 2023 and carries a feeling of a movement that is just getting started.
