Jacquavius Dennard Smith (born May 1, 2000), known professionally as 9lokkNine (pronounced and formerly typeset GlokkNine), is an American rapper and convicted felon from Orlando, Florida. He is best known for his guest appearance on YNW Melly's 2019 single "223's", which peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. Prior, he garnered a regional following with the release of his 2018 singles "10 Percent" and "Crayola", and signed with Birdman's Cash Money Records, an imprint of Republic Records in August of that year. His 2019 single for the label, "Beef" (featuring NLE Choppa and Murda Beatz) preceded the release of his debut commercial mixtape, Mind of Destruction (2019), both of which failed to chart.

Early life
Smith grew up on Mercy Drive in West Orlando, Florida. During his youth, he had aspirations of becoming a footballer, a prospect which was halted due to his numerous legal encounters as a teenager. He lists his musical influences as T-Pain and Lil Wayne. His stage name was derived from friends giving him the nickname "Glock", referential of the weapon's reliability in a tribute to Smith's "grind and determination".
