Buckshot and 9th Wonder-The Formula [2008]

Formula Link 2

Blending the stylings of underrated Black Moon frontman Buckshot, and former Little Brother producer 9th Wonder seemed like a definite recipe for success(to me at least) in 2005 when they released their debut album titled, "Chemistry." The result was a solid album, not quite as cohesive as it should have sounded(especially considering the CD's name); maybe it was rushed but the disc came off sounding like a good mix tape rather than the album that was expected. Well, fast forward to 2008 and the boys are back to give it another shot with "The Formula." Honestly, this album should have been titled "Chemistry" because Buckshot and 9th gel lovely this time around, from the intro(which is one of the best cuts on here) on down the line, there isn't a bad track to be found on here. Veteran MC Buckshot is solid as always, he's the type of MC who rarely leaves you thinking about his lyrics for very long after you listen to him, but he rides beats well and rarely delivers garbage on the mic(and he's at his best when he isn't on a gangster tip, which he isn't here thankfully... ever hear his solo "The BDI Thug?" No? Good, keep it that way...). 9th Wonder drops some of his best work in awhile too, keeping things fresh and switching up his drum beats and patterns nicely(which has been the main knock against him from the get-go). Though Buckshot will always sound the best over the rough and rugged stylings of Da Beatminerz and 9th Wonder may never eclipse his brilliance with Little Brother, when two cats this talented get together you just gotta take notice... one of the best Hip Hop releases so far this year, check it out.
