9th Wonder
Producer
Born : Carolina - 1975
Group : Little Brother

--- 9th Wonder Biography :

In the tradition of producers DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek and Kanye West, 9th Wonder has built a bridge that spans the underground and commercial hip-hop world. With production credits that range from Jay-Z to Jean Grae, 9th Wonder has become the next producer to rocket to the top of every artist’s “must have” list.

Born near Salem North Carolina in 1975, 9th Wonder was drawn to music at an early age. As a youth, 9th Wonder spent his days playing one of the several instruments he was proficient in for the school band, and the afternoons listening to Afrika Bambataa, Soul Sonic Force, Biz Markie and Slick Rick.

9th Wonder began producing in college at North Carolina Central University, where he would eventually meet his lifelong friends and collaborators that now form The Justus League. While at school, 9th Wonder formed the group Little Brother with emcees Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh. The group’s debut album The Listening was released in 2003 to critical acclaim. The Listening does an exceptional job of proving that soulful meditations have indeed retained their traditional relevancy within the contemporary realms of rap. 9th Wonder’s production leads the charge with distinct drum kicks pacing larger-than-life melodic samples, which are often enhanced with sultry female voice-overs. The Listening is a finely crafted musical document, composed by artists who want nothing more than to provide even just a glimpse of hip-hop purity within an ever-expanding maze of cultural deterioration.

9th Wonder’s sound is infused with soul loops and jazz sentiment. His background in classical music and music theory give his music a sonic breath and maturity that surpasses his years. Like the jazz greats Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, 9TH WONDER “feels” his music, and because of that intimate connection, he creates a sound that transcends hip-hop, and becomes one with soul, jazz and R&B. 9th Wonder has produced for a wide array of artists ; including Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child, Memphis Bleek, De La Soul, Murs, Jean Grae, Masta Ace and others. His unauthorized remix album of Nas’ God’s Son was a masterpiece in it of itself, and breathed new life into Nas’ best album since Illmatic.

In 2005, HALL OF JUSTUS and 9th Wonder teamed up with Duck Down Records, to produce tracks for Sean Price’s Monkey Barz upcoming release as well as contributing production on Smif n Wessun’s new album. In addition 9th Wonder & Buckshot have formed a group and recorded a full length release titled “CHEMISTRY” which will be dropping on Duck Down Records in the Spring / Summer of 2005. Chemistry is exclusively produced by 9th Wonder and features appearances from JustUs League’s Big Pooh, Phonte, (Little Brother), L.E.G.A.C.Y., & Joe Skutter.
