What a year for 9th Wonder. The Grammy-winning producer is responsible for "Duckworth," one of the standout tracks on Kendrick Lamar's critically acclaimed DAMN., and he trucks along with this ambitious beat tape, which includes 32 expertly crafted hip-hop instrumentals. If you're a fan, you already know how 9th gets down: heavy on dusty samples, crispy drums, and that loose cadence firmly rooted in the golden are of hip-hop. Love how the tracks flow from one to the other, definitely a project that you put on and let rock in the background. 1000 copies only, RSD 2018 release on double vinyl.
