9th Wonder stays busy. The producer is manning the boards on Fornever, the new Murs & 9th Wonder album, but he’s also got a lot more in store for his fans. Yesterday, the North Carolina-based producer spoke with HipHopDX about some of those plans and what said fans can expect from the producer-turned-emcee.
While his project with Murs has some excited for their April release, 9th’s also been garnering a buzz for his collaborative projects with other rappers. Fans may have to be patient, however, as he told us that his albums with Jean Grae and David Banner are still waiting on release dates.
“That album’s been done, man. We just got to put it out,” he said with a laugh, speaking on the Jean Grae collaboration, a follow-up to Jeanius. As mentioned, though, his album with David Banner is also anticipated.
“[That album will be] another extension of me and an extension of David [Banner], where we kind of meet in the middle,” he added.
Aside from dropping these projects, he’s also ready to release much more of his work. According to 9th, he’s tired of simply sitting on music, which would explain the recent surge of 9th Wonder/9thmatic (his rapping alias) music hitting the net. He explained that his deal with 101 Distribution will allow him to release more of this work.
“[Fans can expect] more lost beat tapes and stuff like that. This is a way to get more of my music out. The thing I appreciate about Gucci Mane is this: he puts music out. I don’t care what anybody may think about the music he makes, he puts product out for his people to get. A lot of us that make this certain type of music, however you want to call it, we sit on our music. That’s why my stuff has been leaking all over the net, because I’m tired of just sitting on it.”
He’s also focusing on It’s A Wonderful World, his music group, as he is working with various artists including Skyzoo, Big Remo, Rapsody, TP The New Fresh Prince, E Jones, Tyler Woods, Actual Proof and more.
For now, fans can enjoy Murs and 9th Wonder as they release Fornever. The first single off the album, “The Problem Is 
” can be seen below.
Murs is my dude, but WTF is goin’ on with the kid’s hair? Sh*t is f***ed up, yo.
Someone needs to remind 9th that his website still has the advertisement for “The Wonder Years” album that never got released without an explanation as to why. It even still has the January 28th, 2008 release date on there. He really needs to change that. What the hell happened to that project anyways, shelved?
I think Atlantic Records owns shit
everything GUCCI put out dont be fire but what rapper do.
thats whta FAB and joell need to do and stay off twittter
Need some new 9th & Jean Grae
I’m feelin’ Jean Grae, but along with her female contemporariez Invincible and Starhh tha Femcee, they sound pretty similar. Anyone on that tip who doezn’t mind a bit of RnB and political sermonz should check out Georgia Anne Muldrow.

All these comments about Murs’s hair. And not one damn comment about how dope the new Fornever single is. This is the reason why I can’t stand people.
Murs is dope. 9th is dope. Looking forward to the album. Peace.

ok dad…I did my homework,I youtubed her,checked out a few vids…TO ME….she’s wack –so toy boy….do you listen to her with your right hand or left hand?
Jean Grae is not exciting to me at all.
I was listening to Jeanius last night. There is no ther hiphop album like that. She really crys and bleeds on the beats. I know Em and alot of other dudes talk about their feelings but I dontlisten to Em .She is a dope MC.
maaaann, whomeva don’t kno who Jean Grae…u should b shot, lmao….but in all seriousness..if ya dun kno..then really expand ya hip-hop library cause she is truly slept on…more than ready for di joint wit her n 9th, Jeanius still gets heavy play wit me…Don’t Rush Me is like my fuckin theme song!…Murs always brings it, love his style…Peace
I didn’t know jean was a female before,I deff wont be checking her out.I don’t waste time on female rappers…..this is my opinion….so when people say step your hip hop game up….screw you…..Everybody has different shit they listen too. And Jean Grae is NOT one of mine.
