Little Brother, Buckshot, Jean Grae, Memphis Bleek and his Justus League family are just a few of the artists that 9th Wonder is working behind the boards for. So how is it the hardest working man in hip-hop can find time to help a local North Carolina emcee? We don’t know but 9th contributed a great deal to Splash’s album The Ripple Effect(which will be released again nationwide after only being found on Hiphopsite.com) which is due out on September 30th.
“He was like the last local artist I wanted to mess with,” said 9th. “I knew that after working with Jay-Z on The Black Album, things wouldn’t be the same for me, but I made my decision that I wanted to work with him (Splash). The same can be said for The A.L.L.I.E.S, who I’m also working with.” He has said that he liked Splash so much that he said that Splash would be the last local (North Carolina) artist that he’d produce for (for cheap, that is).
Splash‘s The Ripple Effect drops on 9-20-05 and out of the fourteen songs, includes nine tracks produced by 9th Wonder, with additional production and guest support from the Justus League’s Khrysis, and L.E.G.A.C.Y and also guest spots from Jean Grae and Supastition.
