Hump Day Bumpables

9th Wonder has cats straight merkin’ some shit, without talking about they rims, they chain, or how they sell cane. With everybody missing Murs or Little Brother jumping over these tracks, other rappers can and will continue to make 9th’s solo a thing of beauty. Dream Merchant Vol. 2, which will be released on Oct 9 through Six Hole/Hall of Justus Records. Royce 5’ 9,” rhymes a Brokeback joke in an otherwise applause worthy verse while Naeledge from Kidz In The Hall sounds just as dope over a Ninf beat that he does over the ones were used to hearin’ him over from Double O. Leaving the least known Vandalyzm to “lick shots like tequila” straight out the St. Lou.

Free Chicago Fest Brings Out Underground Rap OGs

There's never been a better soundtrack to indulge in much libation AND wolf down tasty BBQ'd eats. Fun was had by all.

Little Brother speak on 9th Wonder

I'm posting this because someone probably cares—and certainly cares a lot—but XXL has Little Brother's first post-split with 9th Wonder interview up on their site. Not saying that to be flippant, The Listening was great and The Minstrel Show had some great moments, but 9th Wonder's production has always cemented their sound. But it's always eye-gouging fun to read dudes lambaste the major label system and no one has ever gouged more eyes been better than Phonte and Big Pooh. So, uhh, does anyone care?
