Blige, De La Soul, Mos Def, Memphis Bleek, and Buckshot from Black Moon and more recently, artists such as The Game, Lloyd Banks, and Sean Price. 9th Wonder has also produced for more widely known artists such as Destiny's Child, Mary J. The producer continued to produce for Little Brother and many other Hiphop artists/groups, including Jean Grae, Skyzoo, and Murs. With the help of filmmaker Tee Smith and sound engineer Young Guru, 9th Wonder landed a coveted production credit on Jay Z's then highly-anticipated The Black Album. He attributes the bass lines that he uses in production to DJ Premier, Pete Rock and J Dilla, while he claims to have learned 'moans' from RZA.
This album began what is now a regular trend of remixing whole albums.ĩth Wonder has a smooth and soulful production style that relies on samples from artists such as Al Green and Curtis Mayfield.
As an up-and-coming producer, he released a remix album of Nas' 2002 album God's Son entitled God's Stepson. Originally making Hiphop beats from his North Carolina Central University dorm room using FL Studio (formerly known as Fruityloops), he has since become one of the more acclaimed producers in the Hiphop music industry.
