Dare I say, Lyte still got it? I’m not mad at this track. This isn’t really a typical music video, but more of a photo montage interspersed with some performance and behind the scenes footage.

Video: BET.com Studio Rats: 9th Wonder

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Before we proceed, let me [LowKey] explain the concept of “Studio Rats”. “SR” will be a brief segment of your favorite Hip-Hop and R&B producers/DJ’s cooking up the freshest product right before your very eyes. Thing is, “SR” is specifically hand crafted for the users of BET.com. Looking for your favorite producer? Let me know who you want to see and I’ll do my very best to get him/her doing what they do best. Now, on with the program….

Crafting hits for the likes of Ludacris, Little Brother, Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, Destiny’s Child, Common, Boot Camp Click and a plethora of others, 9th’s placement in this thing we call hip hop is pretty much solidified.

So with that said, I reached out to the proper personnel, pitched them the idea and this is what I got in return- ENJOY!

Says 9th Wonder…

Wassup BET.com! Thanks for coming to check out my first video on my new blog here at BET.com. I’m excited to be teaming up with BET to give all of my fans and supporters a behind the scenes look of what life in studio is like for me. From working with artists on my own labels (Jamla/Academy) to working with some of Hip-Hop and R&B’s greatest talents, I’ll be bringing it all to you. This first video features me working with singer/songwriter (and fellow North Carolina native) Nick Hagelin in the studio and on set for his “Triangle Boulevard” session
