With so much history in his career (signing Little Brother to their first record deal, A&Ring the first installment of the Murs/9th Wonder collab's "3:16")we had to make it a 2 Part jump off, stay tuned!
GQ - Can't Run (video)
GQ is the artist 9th Wonder calls his “secret weapon” at Jamla Records. Over the past few years, the Bay area native has released several records (including 2014’s Rated Oakland) as part of the label roster that have cemented his reputation as an artist with fine lyricism and a clearly defined voice
Rapsody "Fire" produced by Kash, Khrysis and 9th Wonder
Rapsody is back with a new track that is simultaneously a call to arms, an indictment of America, a message of hope – all compacted in an amazingly uplifting song. The track, called “Fire,” references the stunning (but not too stunning, this is America, after all) victory of hate, white supremacy, sexism, and white nationalism’s last stand as embodied in the ugly blob of orange xenophobia and grotesque synthetic hair composed of white fragility that is Donald J. Trump. A few months back it was announced that the North Carolina rapper signed to Roc Nation. “Fire” was produced by Kash, Khrysis, and 9th Wonder. Rapsody begins the track by saying “Joy coming in the morning. The sun rise tomorrow no matter how dark the night is. You feel me, right?” Rapsody continues, as the immaculately produced beat drops, “We gon still be alright, joy come in the morning/ we just gotta last for the night/ them mask come off tonight/ don’t matter who in the big house/ we still gon march and fight/word to the people/whaddup.” And make sure to listen on for a crazy switch up in the beat.

Black Thought - "Making A Murderer" Ft. Styles P Produced by 9th Wonder
“Yo who your top 5? Jay, Biggie, Pac, Nas? I ain’t tryna hear another name if it’s not mine.” -Black Thought on Statik Selektah’s “The Imperial.
Nearly 30 years deep and Black Thought remains in the discussion of MC's who've carved a niche in the Best MC category. Whether or not Tariq Trotter constructs the solo album that's only paralleled by the mystique of Dr. Dre's DETOX, we'll stay tuned in. Black Thought's lyrical prowess only climbs with time. Respect to Styles P & 9th Wonder who hold down their end of the song, but this is definitely Black Thoughts battlefield.
