Buckshot and 9th Wonder Link Up For Riding Music
These hip-hop vets, the MC Buckshot and the producer 9th Wonder, have made a remarkably fresh album. But from the lighter-than-air choral flourishes garnishing the album’s intro to the sped-up soul strings driving the closing track, The Formula soars. The duo’s second full-length collabo shows them fully in sync: 9th’s lush productions are perfect fodder for Buck’s carefully plotted mid-tempo flow, and the MC rides the beats effortlessly. Throw it on your set and roll down the windows — this is cruising music.
