PHONTE F/ ELZHI- NOT HERE ANYMORE (PROD. BY 9TH WONDER)

Maiya — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 21:08:37 +0000

When Little Brother began to unravel, I think the music world let out a collective groan. The synergy between 9th Wonder as a producer and the lyrical prowess of Phonte and Big Pooh was never matched when they ventured outside of their trio. “Not Here Anymore” is the first single from Phonte’s upcoming solo album, Charity Starts at Home. Gotta love the Rose Royce sample! Enjoy!

THE BEAST & NNENNA FREELON PRESENT… THE FREEDOM SUITE

Maiya — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 22:09:04 +0000

I hope you all will grant me a supreme late pass on this one. But, I wanted to do my due diligence and post The Freedom Suite, hosted by 9th Wonder with guest appearances by Phonte, Yazarah, Geechi Suede and others. A little bit about the project: Jazz vocalist and multi Grammy nominee Nnenna Freelon joins hip-hop quartet The Beast to release Freedom Suite: a 10-track collection of creative reflections on jazz and hip-hop.

S/O to Giantstep for this lovely set of tunes. And if you’re a lover of jazz, Okayplayer’s Revivalist site is right up your alley. Partake!

VIDEO: 9TH WONDER PRESENTS THE SOUL COUNCIL

Maiya — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:27:55 +0000

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

In a time where most producers are running a one or two man operation, it’s refreshing to hear about production teams like The Soul Council, which 9th Wonder has formed under his label It’s A Wonderful World Music Group (IWWMG). This video breaks each member and their production aesthetic. Between the five of them collectively, I think we will have a lot to look forward to musically. Stay tuned for a mini documentary on IWWMG. Shouts to SoulCulture.

ROCK THE BELLS ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR 20X

NO — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:01:48 +0000

Looks like we got a new trend on our hands this summer. Artists have been performing the album’s that set it off for them in their entirety as of late to draw the heads to a show that the heads would normally give up on. Let’s face it. They downloading your new schitt & they give a fuck if you performing down the way way unless it’s with so n so & so n so & so n so. OR you perform the schitt that made them fall in love with you to begin with. This is where we are @. Deal with it. I aint mad either. Cuz yeah… this makes me want to go. Rumor’s say that Lauryn will be added to the bill to perform the whole Miseducation (URB went as far as droppin it on their site/zine yesterday… I call malarkey, but we’ll see, it’s still early) I also heard RUN DMC may do a few dates… I dunno. I can’t call it yet. What you think of the line up thus far tho & all the trill schitt I just spoke? Your thoughts…

LITTLE BROTHER | 9TH WONDER

9th? WTF? Yeah… I’ll let Pooh tell it.

“We decided to give that song to people for two reasons. First, the people have been asking for another 9th/Little Brother song since this is the last Little Brother album. We had intended for that song to be an iTunes bonus track but certain circumstances led us to leak it, which leads to the second reason: We got word late Friday from our distribution company that iTunes took the song down following a call from 9th or someone in his camp. I feel that if he didn’t want the song out then he could have easily contacted any one of us (Big Dho, Phonte, or myself) and explained his reasoning and the issue would have been dealt with accordingly. Instead we find out on some “oh yeah, I forgot to tell” type shit while trying to figure out other information. “Star” was recorded in 2005-2006 for use by 9th on his Wonder Years album that has yet to get a release date.

~CONTINUED AFTER THE J~

A lot of people have been asking and waiting for my response regarding the twitter outburst over the weekend. I posted a few statements via twitter myself, but, for the most part, I have chosen to remain silent. I have never believed in airing out business on the internet. I have tried to be as diplomatic as possible when answering questions about the situation in an effort to move on. Unfortunately, the same passion that people have had for Little Brother since we came on the scene in support of us is the same passion that fuels a lot of the extra back and forth between parties. You would have never witnessed what you did over the weekend if 9th actually spoke to us instead of speaking to you, the fans, via social network about the situation. Telling people, “You don’t know the REAL story,” and “It ain’t on me, they wanted me out the group,” and other comments of that nature does nothing but agitate the situation. It’s only so much you can take before you finally explode and ask, “Why not talk to me instead of talking to those who have nothing to do with our problems?”

Phonte and myself have always been made to look like the mean, jealous, bitter, former group members in the situation when that is far from the case. 9th has taken the “high road” because at the end of the day, there isn’t too much he can say if we really started throwing out the facts behind his departure from the group. We have issues that can and will only be worked out by us, if at all. Some of your outside input is appreciated but not necessary as we sort through this situation. At the end of the day it doesn’t help, it only adds fuel, regrettably. As always, we appreciate you support and thank you for listening.”

DAVID BANNER & 9TH WONDER FEAT. BIG REMO – STRANGE

*Pbbt! — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:02:03 +0000

Super geeked to see 9th Wonder tweet about this track when I was at the airport earlier today. I’ve been following this duo since David Banner spoke to my class last year and announced it himself. So far everything I’ve heard from the collaboration has been awesome and this is no exception. Death of a Pop Star coming…uh…soon?
