The producer explains to NodFactor that his The Wonder Years project may never see the light of day. 9th says he wants to get his artists off the ground first and isn’t down with sending beats to every label. No need to wonder any longer.
This video for "Travel The World" is a solid vibe! Termanology and Bun B bring such a smooth, classic hip-hop energy, and Enisa’s vocals really elevate the track. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to pack your bags and explore somewhere new immediately.
