Today's Producers Spotlight Shines On 9th Wonder!

9th Wonder, is a Producer from North Carolina. 9th Wonder who's real name is Patrick Douthit (born January 15, 1975) has colaborated with artist such as Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Skyzoo, Buckshot, Jay-Z, & Murs to name a few. As one of the founding mambers of the group Little Brother, 9th along with Phonte, and Rapper Big Pooh have help to put North Carolina on the map. 9th Wonder's sound is what I like to call dusty but in a good way. His beats sound dirty yet gives off a vibe of good quality head banging, neck snapping rhthym. Check out the track below featuring Mos-Def and Jean Grae produced by 9th Wonder.

Today's Producers Spotlight Shines On The Rza!

Robert Diggs, Commonly known to his fans as The Rza is a Producer, Emcee, From Brooklyn New York By way of Staten Island. Rza took the world by storm along with his 9 Man wrecking crew known as The Wu-Tang Clan which include group members Method Man, Gza, Chef Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Ugod, Inspectah deck, Masta Killah, and ODB (Ol'Dirty Bastard). When I first heard The Rza, he was going by the name Price Rakeem, a name that he still uses from time to time. During my discovery of The Rza, it was'nt his producer skills that caught my attention. It was his sharp witty emcee skills on a single entitled Oooh We Love You Rakeem which was put out and distributed on Tommy Boy Records. There would be know follow up to the single nor would there be a full length L.P but a few years later Rakeem would resurface under what we all know now as The Rza. Rza has done movie Scores such as Kill Bill Vol 1&2& Afro Samuri and has appeared in movies along side of Russell Crowe, Charlie Sheen, and Forrest Whitaker just to name a few. There are way to many songs to mention that was produced by the Rza so I have posted a clip with some of his earliy work with Wu-Tang Clan and other artist. Enjoy when you press play below.
