David Banner & 9th Wonder – Slow Down
As the heavily anticipated Death Of A Pop Star album release date approaches, David Banner took a few moments of his time during a recent studio session to talk about the collaborative album he’s releasing this summer with 9th Wonder. Banner talks passionately about what the album represents, both for him and for hip-hop – Death Of A Pop Star isn’t just another run-of-the-mill hip-hop album. For Banner, the album represents hip-hop beyond the quickly compiled throwaway projects, which Banner claims are hurting more than helping the art. Feeling trapped in this modern trend, the album is a breath of fresh air and a way for artists and fans to work toward achieving a musical balance. In addition to discussing the album, Banner also takes time out to discuss what it was like collaborating with 9th Wonder in making Death Of A Pop Star.
Word to AT
A Kid Named B
New hip-hop wonder duo, David Banner and 9th Wonder, are quickly building excitement for the release of their initial effort together, Death of A Pop Star, which will be released this summer via David Banner’s own Big Face Entertainment. Already having created buzz with a release of the album’s first single, “Slow Down,” the Mississippi/North Carolina duo have recently shot a video for the single and, while the video is receiving finishing touches, David Banner and 9th Wonder are satiating fans with a behind the scenes look.
Although music, rather than image, is the focal point of the duo’s Death Of A Pop Star collaborative album, it appears the two have no trouble coming up with visuals, or having fun on the set. From joking around with videographers, to introducing stylists and make-up artists, to showing off a fresh pair of Jordans, David Banner and 9th Wonder are clearly having a great time. Closing the Behind The Scenes look is a brief, exclusive glimpse at the shooting of the actual video. -Michelle

If 9th touches it, you better believe its dope and with verses from Khrysis and production from legendary DJ Premier, it’s straight nasty.

So maybe it’s weird that I put Wale and David Banner in one post but when that David Banner track is produced by 9th Wonder, that track fits the bill. Both tracks are dope so

Wale Feat. Fat Trel And Black Cobain -Who Don’t
Yeah, I just ran across this gem in my inbox (4,000 messages strong). This track is pretty dope as Chopps, Vaughn Garcia, Scoopay, and Sean Diesel star as the members of “M1 Platoon.” The group hails from the DMV area as a different breed of artists. The emcees took 9th Wonder as their mentor and have released a debut mixtape titled “M1 Invasion,” which was followed by two other releases from the “We, Not Them” series, Part 1 & 2. M1.
Get familiar with M1,

I don’t think I will ever be able to call a 9th Wonder beat wack. This time Laws drops some bars with a feature from Diz Gibran… Fire.

Justice League’s artist, Laws, meets up with 9th Wonder to put the finishing touches on “Shining”, a track off of his up and coming mix-tape hosted by Don Cannon titled 4:57pm. I caught some visuals that night and decided to cut them over the track so you guys sample it and check it out. – Dan
