9th Wonder Working On Hip-Hop Soul Album

9th wonder
9th Wonder, who has previously worked with Mary J. Blige, Destiny’s Child, and Erykah Badu, is finishing up a album which he describes as “just good for the soul and good to listen to.”

“Sonically people can expect bigger sounding beats, more expansion of my sound,” 9th Wonder said.

“There will be an element of classic, throwback R&B, but with a current twist. With this album I’m not only defining myself, but I’m defining people in my age group. It’s not necessarily an underground or overground thing; you just want to find the music that fits you and where you are in your life right about now. That’s what ‘The Wonder Years’ is for me.”

Aside from producing Erykah Badu’s latest single “Honey” off her upcoming album, “The Kabah,” the Raleigh-Durham beatmaker is also teaming up with Q-Tip, Teedra Moses, and his former group Little Brother.

“The Wonder Years” will be released on Jan. 29, via Asylum Records on 9th Wonder’s imprint, It’s A Wonderful World Music Group.

U know it was that "white girl". U gotta read between the lines. "found dead in the bed". Hmmm. R.i.p. - pimp c. People please let this be a lesson. No matter how much drugs get glorified - this is the nasty repercussion of drug use. Someone's father, brother, son, etc. Is no longer here. Peace.

Ey sp....dont taint that mans(pimp c) life with the usage of drugs untill its been confirmed by the proper channels. Hell, they didnt even find drugs in the room, authorities say it was natural causes. So why must you immediatly take it to drug usage? and why are we even writing about pimp c(r.i.p.) anyway, this is 9th wonders stage..... This album hes putting together is going to be one to talk about amongst those who appreciate real hip hop, good music.

9th is a whiteboy? i don't even get your point, but on the real you the one whose trying to tear another black man down, so who's the cracker? you or 9th? if you don't like the music, don't listen, but questioning whether or not he's black is some bugged out sh*t. Look in the mirror before you judge the next man. And if you don't like this site because it's run by crackers, why you posting in here?

A fifth and a eighth, your post is a good lil eye opener, we all try and pretend that that sh*t isnt how it is, but its there, and it is what it is..... On another side to your msg, F*ck*n hilarious, i couldnt get past you buzzin ol' caucazoids hair back......

First of all, let me apologize, cuz this thread is supposed to be about 9th and his new project, but i had to comment on the brotha a fifth. I'm feelin' what ur sayin' 'bout the whiteboys. I agree w/betta that u have opened some eyes....'specially if this site is run by white boyz...maybe u put'em on blast and they may have to do a self-check. While u make points that r valid as hell....i don't subscribe to the whiteboys 5, 10, 15 years from now being the only ones that can be cops, judges, lawyers, and supervisors. All those professions u mentioned is a come up. Brotha we gotta get outta this slave mentality that keeps up inferior to the white man. Me, you, your man's and nem, they kids can come up too. We can be the ones in key positions, makin' sure brothas get a fair shake, even if means sendin' white boyz to jail for gettin' away w/mental genocide for all these years. U neva know...let it be understood though, that i feel what u say

Before i go...big up to 9th! i salute the brotha for respresentin' nc. 9th if ur readin' this, my homie s. "official" williams and i are workin' on some new joints. I was supposed to get w/y'all on darien's last project, but schedules conflicted. I'm glad to know that 9th is hookin' back up w/lb. Congrats gone......

Big up to you, fifth for being business saavy. Good look uncoverin' that crook that was robbin' us all these years..granted their are some police depts. Who still got that jim crow in them...but at the same time there are some of our brothas out there on the come up just like you, tryna to do other thangs to increase their teritory...gettin' a master's degree, phd, mba, or juris doctorate. This is just me, but i don't hate on my brotha if i see him getting accolades and "pats on the back". I rejoice whenever i see one of us make it. Society would have it that you would never own your own businesses, never have a mind to go to barber school, but you did it. You proved them wrong and we are proving them wrong every day...so when i hear or see a medium that is celebrating my fellow brothas....man i gets crunk off that! don't get it twisted, everybody's entitled to their opinion and u free to like who u like but although i don't think akon is a real singer, i can't hate and knock his hustle. He's on a real big come up, even though he ain't what i would call a real singer....big up to that dude though, cuz now he in the studio w/mj! can't knock nobody's hustle

1st of all i ain't white and you definitely ain't black. You like talkin destructive sh*t about crackers? wtf are you talking about. Where's the destruction - maybe 5th you drink or the 8th you smoke or sniff, but your words are meaningless. You a fake ass knowledge god type nigg@. You ain't got knowledge of self muthaphucka. Talkin bout shavin sh*t into somebody head. That sh*t makes as much sense as you trying to teach n*ggas under the hook "5th and a 8th" . You a lost one son.

I do what i want n*gga! i paid the cost to be the boss! now get in line!!!
Posted by A FIFTH AND A EIGHTH
You think you nino brown n*gga? i ain't disgruntled about sh*t. You the one up here talking about being a f*%kin barber and cuttin' sh&t into white people hair. Oh, you a boss - get the phuck outta here. You a lightweight nigg@ with street dreams. Nigg@s like you a dime a dozen. Eat a didtip. Only thing you puttin' to work is you fat mouth on a knob.

You made me laugh from your first post on some angry blackman s@#t. Now you talkin' about my mother - typical mouth ni$$a. You don't own a shop, i do own my home and gotta solid job. You might rent a chair in somebody's shop, but own it - hell no. From that first post i knew you were no businessman. If a white customer comes to "your" shop and you do some dumb s$%t like you said, you wouldn't have a shop very long dumba$$. Then you said dude was a punk for suing. Real businessman handle business, not cut stupid s$%t into anybody's head. That's a dead giveaway on you being an internet entrepreneur - on here - you own businesses. In reality you sleep on your mother's couch. You don't even talk a good game. Also my credit score is in the 700's, but the fact is i don't have to impress anybody. I'm thinking those fat tiddies you woke up next to where on your overweight boyfriend who also sleeps on mom's couch. Lastly, how could you be done with me when you never even started c#$ksucka. Go drink your 5th and smoke or sniff ya 8th dumb dumb. How you run a business drunk or high? give me a f#$kin' break.
