9th Wonder Working on New Project
Fresh off the second phase of his successful "Dream Merchant" series, producer 9th Wonder is stepping away from the traditional boom bap sound to create a new R&B/Hip Hop project entitled "The Wonder Years." The album is slated for release on January 29, 2008 on Asylum Records, and will enlighten fans with unique collaborations.
Since his humble beginnings with North Carolina group Little Brother, 9th Wonder has been embraced by Hip Hop fans around the world. He blazed new paths for his production on both the Hip Hop and R&B fronts with the likes of Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Destiny's Child and other chart topping groups. 9th Wonder recently teamed with Erykah Badu for her new single "Honey," which will appear on her upcoming Universal/Motown album The Kabah. In turn, Erykah will be featured on "The Wonder Years" alongside Talib Kweli, Q-Tip, Teedra Moses, Mos Def, Little Brother and more.
"The Wonder Years" represents a new sound and style for 9th's fans, but the venture is a familiar territory for him both personally and professionally. "Sonically people can expect bigger sounding beats, more expansion of my sound," he explains. "There will be an element of classic, throwback R&B, but with a current twist. With this album I'm not only defining myself, but I'm defining people in my age group. It's not necessarily an underground or overground thing, you just want to find the music that fits you and where you are in your life right about now. That's what "The Wonder Years" is for me."
The first single from "The Wonder Years" will be announced soon. In the meantime, 9th is ensuring that every detail on the album will suit the vibe and his ultimate mission. "My calling is soul music - just good for the soul and good to listen to," he says. "It's more reminiscent of the great pantheon of Black music, and I want to be mentioned in that somewhere. Somebody has to come along and join what Common and all of these other great MCs started, we really have to start looking at the situation of how we affect young Black men and women. In the past music has been used for good, music has always had a message in it, and I just want to be a part of that legacy."

Heavy Marketing Plan for The Cool
Fiasco plans to expand the new album's characters into a Vincent Price-esque vintage radio show via a currently unspecified satellite radio company for release alongside his album. In addition, he is creating character-inspired toys and is working with Converse, Levi's, street wear brand Maharishi and Japanese clothing line Swagger to craft custom Righteous Kung Fu designs.
Each clothing line will release their pieces at different times throughout next year, to keep the brand top of mind with consumers.
Mobile is a key part of Atlantic's marketing campaign. The company has partnered with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint for ringtones and downloads, and Boost Mobile, which was an early Fiasco supporter, will prominently display stand-up advertisements for "The Cool" in 8,000 stores beginning in January.
Online, additional viral videos are planned in an attempt to capitalize on the crossover of "Dumb It Down," which became so popular on YouTube that it landed on BET and MTV. In addition, Atlantic product manager Veronica Alvericci says Fiasco might blog on a to-be-announced site for the remainder of his 22-market promo tour.
An online in-store is in the works, where Atlantic will "partner with a major retailer, who'd air the in-store across their Web sites nationally, and distribute it amongst all of their chains," Alvericci says, and MTV.com's "The Leak" initiative will begin streaming "The Cool" Dec. 11, a week ahead of street date.
TV placements include a "Monday Night Football" commitment from ESPN for "Superstar," while several other album tracks are due to be used on the sports network's Sunday program, "Ultimate Highlight." You can't blame Fiasco for having a few things other than marketing plans on his mind these days. During the last year, his father, aunt and friend Stack Bundles passed away, and his longtime friend and manager Charles "Chill" Patterson was arrested and sentenced to 44 years in prison for a 2003 drug charge.

Baby speaks on Arrest
Bryan "Baby" Williams — a.k.a. Birdman — reached out to MTV News on Wednesday afternoon (November 28) to talk about his arrest for marijuana possession on Tuesday night. According to a copy of the report from the police department of Kingsport, Tennessee, Williams was among 16 people charged with possession of nearly a pound of marijuana after the RV they were riding in was pulled over for weaving on Interstate 81. Officers said they found a plastic bag of "plant material" believed to be about 1 pound of marijuana.
"We was on the bus. I was asleep in the back," he said. "Why they pulled us over, I don't know. The people are making the situation out worse than what it is. We got arrested for a misdemeanor amount of [marijuana] — we didn't have no pound. The police just found something minor in a garbage can the dog sniffed. We all got out on bond."
Baby also maintained that he is not in trouble with the law for carrying guns. He said he and his security personnel are all licensed gun carriers and their weapons were returned by the authorities.
"The guns we had were good," he said. "I do carry a gun and I am licensed. Tennessee is one of the states I can tote in. We know the guidelines [for carrying weapons]. They make you aware of everything in [marksmanship] class."
Birdman also emphasized that he is not married, as has been widely reported. He said the young woman mentioned in the reports was a friend of one of the guys traveling with him.
"I'm not married," he insisted. "Never! Been! Married! Plus, that girl was 18! I don't get down like that! Plus, if I was married, why would I keep it a secret?" However, he did allow that perhaps the right woman could make an honest man out of him one day.
Baby is on the road promoting his new LP, 5 Star G, which comes out on December 11. He said he's due back in court on March 18.
"Hopefully all the charges will be dropped by then, and we won't have to go to court," he said. "But we good. Everybody is fine."
Police had not returned MTV News' calls for comment at press time, however WVLT in Knoxville, Tennessee, reports that Baby was charged with possession of more than a half-ounce of marijuana and released on $1,500 bond at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, along with "several others."

Jay Talks Collabos with BIG, Nas, Rick Rubin
NEW YORK — It's one of the most fabled stories in hip-hop history: Jay-Z and the Notorious B.I.G. meeting in the studio to collaborate on what would become the scorching track "Brooklyn's Finest," from Jay's classic debut, Reasonable Doubt.
One top-class MC pitted against a rising blue-chip MC, and when Jay passed Biggie a notebook to jot down words for his verse, the Bad Boy rapper passed it back and responded that he doesn't write down his lyrics. Jay said that he didn't either, and the lyrical showdown began.
The result was undeniable, but if you're wondering why Jay doesn't have more great stories behind his numerous collaborations, it's because that recording session was one of the few where he and the guest artist knew prior to the song being complete that they'd be working together.
And with the advent of technology and artists being able to e-mail audio files to producers and engineers, a guest like Lil Wayne doesn't even get to hear the completed version of his song with Jay — "Hello Brooklyn 2.0" from American Gangster — basically until the general population does.
"It ruins the spirit," Jay admitted to MTV News. "You wanna know the conversation and the camaraderie and how'd you come up with that [idea]. That part is lost through the technology, but that's just the day and age that we live in. Technology makes it convenient to be in two different cities and make one song. There's a million stories that came out of that one session that me and Big was in — even the most important: us finding out that we didn't write. You couldn't get that, and that's just classic."

these white hip hop producers be lookin wack...like scot storch in the make it rain video he looked hella out of place and now this dood knocked britney up...but they do make some nice beats.
CAn someone post the new 2pac Greatest hits albums coming out Dec 4?
In particular the 2 unreleased tracks "Dopefiend's Diner" & "Resist The Temptation"
Thanks
crooked i has been killing it for the past 35 weeks and all you haters die please...
waiting for the album
i need three times dope no words remix
jd, what the hell is up with music today?? three great albums have surfaced this past month: cassidy's, free's, and beanie sigel's. these in my opinion are pure fire, yet they definitely dont get the promotion they need to be big hits.
since u know this kind of stuff, id like to know why great albums like these get no pub. its not like each of these rappers isnt established and clearly talented, so whats goin on with the industry???
I'm right there with you and went out to purchase the albums that are already out because I always support the artists that have genuine talent.We can already assume beanie is gonna do like 60thou at most. I download the soulja boy's and jack their shit for parties because that's what they deserve for putting out garbage.
Look at soulja tho...he's at like 380 total based off a stupid dance. Dude has no talent and we all know this. The problem is, the talentless, mindless drones like him are the ones that appeal to the masses. White, black, asian, indian, everyone supports him because of a dance and a beat that I recreated on fruity loops in about a half an hour once.
Do you honestly expect a young, white girl, to purchase a freeway album? Do you foresee people playing his music at parties?
Like you've pretty much read, we live in a downloading generation where people pick and choose songs they want to download off itunes rather than purchase the entire album and give it a shot. Marketing schemes like adding special edition dvd's and contests to win g-unit chains don't work.
You need to have a larger than life character to appeal to the masses, such as kanye, jay or 50. It's common sense really...
Kanye may act like an ass sometimes but I have a feeling he knows exactly what he's doing. As he admitted, his whole campaign was a publicity stunt that works. His whole rant at the MTV video awards had people talking. 50 Cent had his whole "I'll quit rap" campaign he had going, which obviously had no backing.
The bottom line: Acts that are creating their own marketing campaigns are the ones that are winning. Those who are sitting back and waiting for record companies to actually do their jobs (how ironic) are the ones that are losing.
Agreed?
man j.d, you've given more publicity to ghostfaces' album than def jam!

The Convicts – The Convicts
JD, Im with u all the way. I guess in the end, it all comes down to more of a decline in the consumers than the artists themselves (although soulja boy is a disgrace to hip hop). However, I know there are plenty of hip hop lovers out there who love the music being made by guys like Free and Beans--it's just not gettin marketed like guys like Kanye and 50.
This topic just really gets me down cuz I feel like hip hop gets a bad name based on only the artists like Soulja Boy, while the rest of the industry gets overlooked just cuz its poorly promoted.
the only people who let soulja boy give hip hop a bad name is us...he is constantly in blogs and posts like he is the first bad,gimmick rapper to ever exist...he doesnt give hip hop a bad name because i believe he is intended to make 11 year olds dance...and i dont have a problem with that...i know my 11 year old aint listening to most of the good rap until at least 13....
anyway j.d. this website is a fool its on my favorites and i come on here all day....
but one request....the cool kids album totally flossed out...i cant even get it in a store...so im comin here
sik sik update
