"Lyin' King" was the first single released from Nine's second album, Cloud 9. It was released on July 23, 1996 and was produced by Rob Lewis. "Lyin' King" was Nine's final charting single, making it to three different Billboard charts, including 35 on the Hot Rap Singles. The song is an indirect diss aimed at rappers who were trying to capitalize on the popular Mafioso rap at the time.
"Lyin' King" was one of Profile Records' final releases as Profile was disestablished shortly after in 1997. After "Lyin' King Nine virtually disappeared from the music industry, briefly returning in 2000 with the single "It's Ugly", before finally releasing his third album, Quinine in 2009.
