9th Wonder's new record won't be joining the Pyramids and Great Wall
April 17Ever since breaking into the hip-hop scene on North Carolina trio Little Brother's "The Listening" in 2003, prolific producer 9th Wonder has been popping up everywhere, laying down his trademark clever soul sample tracks on albums for local and worldwide legends. In the past few years, 9th has produced two new Little Brother albums, along with albums for Buckshot, Access Immortal, a remix of Nas's "God Son" album entitled "God's Stepson LP," and tracks for Jay-Z, Jean Grae and Memphis Bleek. It appears that hip-hop has found another golden producer with a bright future in 9th Wonder, who consistently pumps out Pete Rock-esque beats reminiscent of the sample-heavy sounds of the early to mid '90s. It's no surprise that he's featured in the title of most of the albums he works on, because all he needs is an emcee with a competent, consistent flow to make a hit record.

Staff Top 10 | Other places we wouldn't run
April 12For those of you who are freshmen from out-of-state, let us explain something to you: You chose correctly in coming to a college in Boston, because here in Massachusetts, we get an extra arbitrary three-day weekend. Called "Patriots' Day," the holiday is nominally some kind of America-love occasion. Massachusetts natives know, however, that our day off is really so that people can run 26.2 miles through our fair city. While we at Arts respect the gumption required to participate in the Boston Marathon, we have to admit that when it comes to this mega-race, we're more likely to pull a Rosie Ruiz and T it in than go the literal distance. Since we're in awe of Heartbreak Hill, here are 10 more places we wouldn't want to run.
