9ice – No Be Mistake

"No Be Mistake" is a song by 9ice, released on December 5, 2009, as a track on his album Tradition, through Alapomeji Records. Produced by ID Cabasa, the song blended Yoruba and Nigerian Pidgin lyrics into an anthem of self affirmation, with 9ice crediting his rise to fame and success to God while addressing doubters who had questioned his journey. The track followed the commercial success of his earlier albums, The Certificate and Gongo Aso, and continued the mix of Fuji inflected rhythms and hip hop that had defined his sound since hits like "Street Credibility" and his featured verse on Ruggedman's "Ruggedy Baba." The song remains one of the deeper cuts from Tradition, built around its celebratory tone and proverb laced verses.
