9TH WONDER レコード& CD

Review: The long-awaited vinyl reissue of 9th Wonder's landmark 2011 album is finally here. This record was the first full-length project to truly spotlight the Grammy-winning producer's signature soulful beats, a sound that left an undeniable mark on both the underground and mainstream scenes. A key figure in putting North Carolina on the map in hip-hop, 9th Wonder's production style, rich with warmth and emotion, became instantly recognisable as a result. Recommended.

Review: Great hip-hop has often been defined by collaboration and Chemistry by 9th Wonder and Buckshot is a testament to that. The album, released on June 21, 2005 through Duck Down Music as a part of the label's "Triple Threat Campaign", showcases the seamless synergy between 9th Wonder's soulful production and Buckshot's sharp lyricism. Each track shows off their undeniable chemistry, with smooth beats and introspective rhymes that captivate from start to finish as muse on everything from introspective reflections to social commentary, all with precision and depth. With its cohesive sound and thoughtful lyricism, Chemistry is a must-listen for fans of both artists and the genre as a whole.
