“Nature Is No Crime” is a roots-conscious reggae statement that confronts the growing contradiction between modern systems of control and the natural freedoms of the earth. Through vivid imagery and pointed questions, the song challenges the idea that land, water, movement, and natural existence can be owned, restricted, or criminalised without eroding the very meaning of freedom.

The intro immediately frames nature as sacred and communal, not institutional. By questioning how trees can be judged like sinners, the song establishes its core argument: when nature is regulated as wrongdoing, morality itself becomes inverted. The earth is presented as a living presence that predates borders, states, and laws.

Verse 1 focuses on dispossession and restriction. Riverbanks become zones, soil is marked and gated, and access to land is framed as permission-based rather than inherent. Walking barefoot on “sacred ground” becomes an act of resistance, reconnecting the individual to creation’s timeless rhythm. The verse challenges authority by asking who has the right to decide when natural elements become “wrong”.

The pre-chorus sharpens the philosophical tension. If sunlight, rivers, and open air require approval, then freedom is exposed as a hollow concept. These lines turn environmental regulation into a moral inquiry, questioning not just policy but legitimacy.

The chorus delivers the song’s central declaration with clarity and force. By stating that freedom is an illusion where nature is penalised, the song strips away political language and reframes liberty as inseparable from the natural world. Seas and skies are invoked as symbols of forces that cannot truly be owned or restrained, reinforcing the futility and arrogance of control.

Verse 2 expands the critique to capitalism and exploitation. Borders are drawn across open plains, life is reduced to profit, and “order” is used as justification for extraction. In contrast, planting seeds becomes a quiet but powerful act of defiance, symbolising continuity, hope, and responsibility. The question of mountains becoming contraband underscores the absurdity of criminalising existence itself.

The outro resolves the song with grounded conviction rather than anger. Freedom is reclaimed not through legislation but through reconnection—to land, soul, and breath. The final lines make the message unmistakable: if nature is not free, humanity cannot be either.

Overall, “Nature Is No Crime” stands as a modern roots reggae manifesto—environmental, spiritual, and political—asserting that true freedom begins where the earth is respected, not regulated into silence.

Nature Is No Crime

“Music Never Stops” is a reflective yet uplifting reggae anthem that frames music as a living force—constant, adaptive, and spiritually rooted. Using the recurring metaphor of a river, the song presents sound as something that flows endlessly through history, geography, and innovation, carrying human expression from one era to the next without losing its essence.

The intro establishes music as elemental: part of the bloodstream, synced with the heartbeat of creation itself. From there, Verse 1 expands the scope, moving from Kingston’s warmth to colder global landscapes, reinforcing reggae’s journey beyond its birthplace. Old-school roots and AI-generated tools are placed side by side, not as rivals but as coexisting expressions within the same current. The lyrics make a clear distinction between surface changes and inner truth—styles evolve, but the soul of the tune “never retire”.

The pre-chorus reinforces inclusivity and continuity. Whether music is shaped by hands, instruments, or code, its power remains intact. The song deliberately removes hierarchy, placing sound system selectors, traditional musicians, and digital creators within the same global vibration, unified by rhythm rather than divided by method.

The chorus distils the song’s philosophy into a chant-like affirmation. Music is portrayed as a giver of life, emotion, and connection—something that causes physical response and emotional resonance regardless of how it is made. Its permanence is emphasised through repetition, echoing reggae’s tradition of reinforcement through collective declaration.

Verse 2 deepens the generational dialogue. Vinyl, tapes, and modern AI tools are woven together as carriers of memory and storytelling. Elders’ voices and contemporary expressions are treated with equal respect, suggesting that innovation does not erase history but extends it. The “one drop” rhythm becomes a unifying heartbeat, linking yard culture with worldwide community.

The outro brings the metaphor full circle. Music continues to flow beyond endings, beyond ownership, beyond eras—running “until kingdom come”. By closing with 9000UK “carry di drum”, the song positions the artist not as the source of music, but as a custodian within an ongoing lineage.

Overall, “Music Never Stops” is both reassurance and statement: formats change, tools evolve, but music itself remains unstoppable—an eternal river of human spirit, culture, and shared rhythm.

Music Never Stops

“Take Me” is a sleek, emotionally charged pop track that explores desire as movement—an irresistible pull toward connection, clarity, and belonging. Set against a backdrop of glowing city lights and late-night energy, the song captures the moment when uncertainty gives way to instinct and the heart chooses momentum over restraint.

The intro establishes a nocturnal, cinematic atmosphere where desire simmers quietly rather than explodes. City lights and racing heartbeats frame attraction as both intimate and expansive, suggesting a private emotional shift unfolding within a public, electric world.

Verse 1 introduces the central figure as a catalyst—someone whose presence feels communicative and transformative. Neon imagery and unspoken promises position attraction as something intuitive rather than verbal, while the narrator admits to having lived in emotional limbo before this encounter. The tone is not reckless, but awakening: a recognition of something real that disrupts routine and indecision.

The pre-chorus marks the internal turning point. Resistance fades as the pull becomes undeniable, signalling emotional consent rather than impulse. This sense of alignment carries into the chorus, where “Take me” functions as both invitation and surrender. The lyrics frame love as escape—not from responsibility, but from fear, silence, and emotional confinement. Energy, fire, and heartbeat imagery reinforce the physical and emotional intensity of connection.

Verse 2 deepens the sense of inevitability. The love interest is described as light in darkness, colour in half-shadows—someone who brings fullness and definition to an otherwise muted world. The language of fate and slow-motion impact suggests that this connection feels both sudden and long-awaited, powerful yet strangely familiar.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces desire as commitment rather than momentary thrill. Being “taken” is not about loss of self, but arrival—reaching a place where emotion, rhythm, and purpose align.

The outro resolves the song with release. Nights “obey”, rhythm leads, and control is willingly loosened, closing the track on a note of trust and immersion. The journey ends not with certainty about the future, but confidence in the present feeling.

Overall, “Take Me” is a polished pop expression of attraction and emotional surrender, balancing intensity with clarity. It captures the universal moment when connection feels inevitable—when the heart recognises where it is meant to be and chooses to follow without looking back.

Take Me

“Light in the Lodge” is a hip-hop narrative that challenges misconceptions and brings clarity to one of the world’s oldest fraternal traditions: Freemasonry. Through sharp, factual lyricism and respectful storytelling, the song reframes the lodge as a place of moral growth, charity, equality, and service rather than the shadowy myth often portrayed in pop culture. It’s an educational, rhythmic, and empowering track that pays homage to the real craft and the people who keep its principles alive.

Verse 1 grounds the listener in Freemasonry’s origins—stoneworkers building literal structures and, over time, symbolic ones. The lyrics highlight their transition from physical craftsmanship to moral craftsmanship: building character, truth, and community. Acts of charity appear as central pillars: feeding the poor, supporting education through scholarships, funding shelters, and serving quietly without seeking recognition. By describing Freemasonry as inclusive, welcoming all religions and peaceful creeds, the verse counters the idea of it being an exclusionary or sinister organisation.

The hook reinforces the central message: Freemasonry is not a “secret club” but a global code of ethics with private rituals—its intention rooted in wisdom, unity, and the pursuit of light. Brotherhood and sisterhood shine here as timeless human values rather than hidden allegiances.

Verse 2 takes on modern misconceptions head-on. It debunks the outdated claim that Masonry is only for men, acknowledging women’s lodges worldwide and affirming gender equality within the craft. It also confronts the belief that Freemasonry protects wrongdoing; the lyrics stress accountability and integrity, emphasising that members who violate moral principles are removed to preserve the lodge’s ethical foundation. The verse continues dismantling sensationalised myths—devil worship, conspiracies, secret power—inviting listeners to “ask a real Mason” and discover the truth for themselves.

The bridge connects historical figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Mozart to the legacy of building values and institutions that still influence society today. Their imperfections are acknowledged, underscoring that the lodge aims to develop people, not deify them. The lodge becomes a metaphorical sanctuary—a “light in a world so dark”—where individuals rebuild their character through truth, discipline, and community.

The outro brings the message full circle: Freemasonry, like any human system, has had both good and bad participants, yet its core mission remains rooted in personal improvement and silent service. Its strength comes from internal light rather than external validation, and the final call to “Respect the craft” is a plea for understanding rather than judgement.

Overall, “Light in the Lodge” is a bold, educational, and uplifting track that defends a misunderstood institution while celebrating its values of charity, truth, unity, and moral refinement. In true 9000UK style, it blends rhythm with meaning, turning hip-hop into a vessel for historical clarity and positive cultural conversation.

Absurdcore Paradise Vol2

Broken Elevators to Utopia

9000UK is the musical project of Ioannis Ntizoglou (Politou), a UK based independent multi genre artist creating music shaped by lived experience. Struggle, hope, mistakes, growth, truth, and the determination to rise define every release.

For years, Ioannis faced mistreatment, judgement, and false narratives placed onto him. None of them lasted. Truth outlives noise, and this belief lives at the core of his music. Every track, joyful or heavy, playful or painful, comes from real moments. His catalogue functions as a personal record of a life endured, understood, and transformed into sound.

9000UK blends Pop, Rap, Hip Hop, Trap, Indie, R&B, Reggae, Gospel Blues, Country, Rock, and AbsurdCore. AbsurdCore is a genre Ioannis created himself, built around experimental sound design, emotional distortion, and the surreal edges of human experience. Genre labels matter less than emotion. Feeling and intent drive every song.

All lyrics are written by Ioannis. Every idea, structure, vocal direction, melody path, and creative decision begins with him. AI is used as a production tool, not a source of authorship. He records his own voice, uses sounds he has created or fully licensed, and builds each track from the ground up. No labels. No producer teams. No marketing machinery. One person doing the work.

Ioannis began writing lyrics at 17 during compulsory national service in the Greek Army. A period forced upon him became the foundation of his creative life. For years he searched for vocalists and musicians who could match the sound in his head. The gap between vision and reality drained time, money, and momentum, eventually pushing music aside.

On 01 January 2025, everything shifted.

While developing his teaching practice in Computer Science, Ioannis encountered AI tools capable of turning lyrics into music. After dozens of failed attempts, one early song finally aligned with the original vision. Not polished. Not perfect. Honest. That moment restarted everything.

He worked relentlessly, often on minimal sleep, transferring thousands of handwritten lyrics into digital form, refining language, shaping melodies, directing vocals, and developing a repeatable creative process. This happened alongside full time lecturing, fatherhood, and family life.

Today, 9000UK has released over 1,500 original songs, with more than 3,000 still in progress. Each release carries a fragment of lived experience, emotion, imagination, and truth.

9000UK extends beyond an artist name. It functions as proof. Proof to listeners, supporters, and students, especially ages 16 to 19, that technology lowers barriers, removes gatekeeping, and gives people the means to pursue creative work regardless of background or resources.

Am I human. Yes.
Every lyric is written by me.
Every emotion is real.
Every song carries intent.

This is 9000UK.
Music with purpose.
Energy with meaning.
Art without limits.

Dream Loud.
