THE N9N3: We are currently working on our next CD. We are also doing a mix tape with some local hip hop artists and getting ready for the next tour.
IAA: What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
THE N9N3: (Individual goals):
( C) We plan on being as big as the Beatles and as popular as Michael. I want to be a CEO and have the insight of a Warren Buffett.
