Throughout his new 7-track album ONE FORTY SEVEN, legendary producer 9th Wonder exhibits his sonic evolutions as he pairs hip hop with funk, soul, jazz, and electronic embellishments.

North Carolina native 9th Wonder has had a nearly 3-decade-long career where his impact has not only been felt in the underground, but also on a commercial level and inspiring producers across the globe. He carries this forward on ONE FORTY SEVEN, setting the tone with the powerful opening track, "Black Wall Street". Thanks to the bright sax arrangements and the glittery cascade of piano arrangements, this experience is uplifting and serves as a slice of musical brilliance from 9th, Give Em Soul, and Alan Thompson. The title of the track beautifully captures the soulful essence of the track and it hints towards a symbol of greatness for African American folks.
