Decoded: 9th Wonder “Threat”
It could be argued that Life+Times’ Decoded series is mostly known for covering tracks that have recently been released, but this time they went back to just under a decade ago for undoubtedly one of the most impeccable albums. 9th Wonder sat down to discuss the production process behind Jay-Z’s “Threat,” which appeared on The Black Album back in 2003. The Grammy Award-winning producer spoke on how the collaboration came about, and explained how he previewed a number of beats to Hov, but was told to sample a song of his choice. He went into further detail about the instrumental itself and elaborated on what was specifically used.

Astro – Deadbeats & Lazy Lyrics [Mixtape]
Astro aka Astronomical Kid has made huge progress over the past few years, even if he still is of a young age. The 16-year old rapper returns with by far the most polished work to date with his latest Deadbeats & Lazy Lyrics mixtape. Standing at 13 original tracks, the project is taken care of lyrically by himself, along with an array of different producers from MF Doom, 9th Wonder, BrandUn DeShay and ThatLoserLaron. If this doesn’t convince you that he’s more than just “that kid from the X Factor,” we’re not quite sure what will.

9th Wonder & Big K.R.I.T. – Reign On
Continuing to release the hard evidence of their recent studio sessions together, Big K.R.I.T. and 9th Wonder combine once again in the aim of another impressive cut. As you may presume, “Reign On” features K.R.I.T. giving his lyrical take on the verses, alongside 9th Wonder doing his typically lustrous work on the background of the offering.
The fact that 9th sampled a classic record from The O’Jays may push your expectations over the edge for this extremely brief track. For those who don’t know, the soul group helped shape the sound of Dipset’s Diplomatic Immunity, courtesy of The Heatmakerz. The release acts as a teaser for the rapper’s forthcoming mixtape K.R.I.T. (King Remembered In Time).

Following on from information we have gained over the past week, Big K.R.I.T. gives us a new track after hitting the studio with some familiar faces just a matter of days ago. Along with the pleasure of 9th Wonder producing the track, K.R.I.T. links up with two popular females from the Jamla collective. This time, Heather Victoria blesses the chorus with her stunning vocal abilities with Rapsody providing a necessary verse to signal the perfect ending. We’re just hoping that this will lead to many more collaborations in the near future.
