Eric Bellinger aka “Poncho Belly” Drops New Album ‘NINE’ with AD (aka “Dizzle”)

If you’ve been hearing the names “Poncho Belly” and “Dizzle” a lot lately, you’re not alone. Ever since single and video “Pullin Up,” featuring the two talented artists picking up some baddies in a taco truck came out, fans have wondered where this singer and rapper duo came from. But the mystery ended this week when a meet-and-greet at Calle Tacos in Hollywood and a star-studded bowling party revealed that these artists are actually characters created by R&B royalty, Eric Bellinger, and one of Compton’s finest, AD.

Now Poncho (inspired by Bellinger’s recent time in Mexico) and Dizzle (the classy/hood/player archetype from AD’s Compton) have released the album that encompasses these alter egos, NINE. This collab project builds on the synergy of stand-out track “She” (first released on Bellinger’s Eazy Call album) and takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of love, money, and LIFE as Bellinger’s acrobatic hooks and AD’s solid bars craft hit after hit after hit. Listen below and peep the photos from the album release bowling party that brought out Bhad Bhabie, Wale, G Perico, Jane Handcock, Joe Moses, Kap G, and many more.
