My government name is Noel Goodrich. I'm from Fort Worth (Funkytown) Texas. I graduated from o.d. Wyatt high school. I got the name Nine when i was a freshman in college (don't ask). I graduated from Eastern New Mexico university wit' a 3.7 (see, i did get smart). This is also where i pledged omega psi phi(solo dog). My line name was Maddhatta' given to me by my dean and friend, wrm aka nitro, becuz of my temper (go figure). After college i made the best decision of my life and joined the military. This is where i met my best friend from Houston Jrod, who out-scored me at the nco board.(still can't believe it) I played all-Army basketball while in, and received 2 gold medals 1 silver. The 2001 all-army was the best "team" that i ever been apart of. thank you. I recently went though a phase in my life where i apologized to everyone that i had beef wit'. If i didn't get to you when i was making my rounds, trust me. I've changed. All of my energy, issues, anger, and aggression iz now unleashed in the booth. * see "i got issues" and "booth therapy"* wrm, thank you for introducin' me to d.j., guy and e.j., three people who recognized my talent and took a chance. Chess-nut the craziest woman i know thanks for trustin' me and havin faith in me. you are truly a ridah' so on behalf of noel, goodrich, mr. richgood, nine, maddhatta', q, 6'9 (the various names that ya'll know me by) let the games begin' and the lames pretend. Every artist that didn't want to work with me, you are my influence. I will forever do me and float above you negative breezes. If you are an artist that gots' what it takes to make it in this industry, do yourself a favor. Keep grindin'. That's why got my head in my hands it's frustratin'/ I've been doin' this for 9 damn decembers lotta' waitin'. Lotta' patience, more hatin' but somehow i emerged/ and to tell it to you straight, i just wanna be heard. Besides the kickin' 2 the curbs and the truths wit' no action/ i didn't make it hope'n......i made it happen. My style is like no other, an originator, track breaker, mind shaker, women taker, paper maker, making major moves in the hip-hop rap culture!
