9th Wonder and David Banner Both Responsible for the "Death of a Pop Star"

Producer 9th Wonder and rapper/producer David Banner are set to release a collaboration album called "Death of a Pop Star" in November.

This collabo baffles me. Usually 9th works does full albums with more lyrical rappers ie. Murs and Little Brother but here he is joining forces with a down south mainstream whom I see as his opposite. Apparently their views on hip hop and the black man's plight brought these two closer together than they ever imagined.

Below is the first promotion video for this mixtape turned album. The track is called "Slow Down". Judging from Banners ability to adjust to 9th Wonder's mid tempo beats this project could just work out. One thing is for sure, David Banner fans will liken themselves to this project but the rest of the world may not be impressed by Banner's subpar lyrical ability. Watch the science fiction style music video below for a preview of what's to come.
