9th Wonder has been receiving major attention in the past little while, capitalizing on the publicity he received from Jay-Z’s Black Album. We all knew him before that though, of course, being underground gangsters, due to Little Brother. Anyways, there’s a neat little feature on Hip Hop Game called Ask 9th Wonder. Even if you’re not a big 9th Wonder fan it’s still neat to see how other people are doing beats and their opinions on various shit. At least, I hope you find that interesting, otherwise I’m curious as to what the fuck you’re doing here, haha. So I recommend checking the segment out, and even asking your own questions if you have any.
All of you Alchemist fans may be in for a treat as his new instrumental album “Rapper’s Best Friend” has hit the streets. (Or online if that’s your preference). For those that don’t know (although you should), Alchemist has been dropping hard hitting sampled beats for years now. He’s produced hits for Dilated Peoples, Mobb Deep, Royce Da 5’9, Cypress Hill and many more. Check out the cd.
I had to bring attention to this song for two reasons. First of all, it’s dedicated to the VA Tech situation, and is actually good and doesn’t seem like a marketing ploy, which is good. And secondly, as you could have guessed it samples Time After Time. Surprisingly, the beat is sick. I don’t know how the fuck that works, but it does. Anyways, go check it out at AllHipHop.com.
