On the album, 9th Wonder produced the tracks ' Girl' and 'Is She the Reason', plus the bonus track 'Game Over'.ĩth Wonder left Little Brother in 2007. The cut proved to be a mainstream breakthrough for 9th Wonder, most immediately in the major production role he secured on Destiny's Child's 2004 Destiny Fulfilled album that Jay-Z was instrumental in helping bring about. Jay-Z's studio engineer Young Guru was impressed with his work, and contacted 9th Wonder, which led to 9th Wonder producing 'Threat' for Jay-Z's 2003 The Black Album. As part of Little Brother he gained recognition and critical acclaim for his production on their debut 2003 release, The Listening.
ĩth Wonder began his career as the main producer for the group Little Brother. The producer has said that he was not thinking in terms of using it to generate a buzz or promote his skills at that point: 'I never thought any of this of me as a producer was going to happen.' The album has since been credited as starting the now regular trend for unofficial 'home-made' remixes of whole albums. Released through internet outlets, the album garnered significant attention and acclaim.
9th Wonder's first significant career breakthrough came in 2003 when, as an up-and-coming producer, he released an unofficial remix album of Nas' 2002 album God's Son entitled God's Stepson.
