9th Wonder To Release Solo Debut In October - August 10, 2007 By : Eddie

Producer 9th Wonder is gearing up to release his solo debut, "Dream Merchant Vol. 2" on October 9th.

When asked about the album, 9th Wonder had this to say about it: "this record means alot to me! The crazy thing is, the actualization of Dream Merchant is an idea that is six years old. My Uncle Fred has crazy records; he was an avid collector from his days in NYC back in the 70’s. Back in 1987, I went to visit him and my Aunt, they lived in the South Bronx (East 169th and Grand Concourse) and it was my first trip to NYC. I was only there for a week when the newspapers flashed “Scott La Rock killed” (crazy right). In 1991, my Uncle and Aunt moved to Winston Salem (North Carolina) and I was working in a UPS call-center in High Point (North Carolina) and made a crazy decision to quit my job and pursue music full-time. I went to visit my Uncle Fred afterwards, because I remembered all of those records he had when I was a kid. I went downstairs and the first record I pulled out of the crate was Jerry Butler’s “Dream Merchant.” I though the title was so fly, that I decided to do a compilation album with me doing all the beats and cats I knew that rhymed. I think more then anything; fate sparked my decision to do this all the way - just from that cover and that moment."

The album features guest appearances from Mos Def, Memphis Bleek, Little Brother, and Royce Da 5'9, among many others. We've got a preview track from the album as well. The carefree song is called "Sunday," and it features Keisha Shontelle & Chaundon. Download it below.
