Wale and 9th Wonder Mixtape
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Got the new Wale mixtape over the weekend. As expected, lots more DC and PG shoutouts, which I’ll take to heart forever. Like the past couple 9th Wonder projects, the production was undercooked and underwhelming. He was recycling more than usual.
However, the Daptone Records crew (in the form of Mark Ronson) contributed a nice piece for the track Um Ricka f/ K’Naan. This might be recycled from an old Daptone project, and I might be eating my own words, but it wasn’t something I’d heard before.
Audio of Wale – Um Ricka f. K’Naan (prod Mark Ronson). From “Back to the Feature” mixtape.
