9th Wonder Shares Surprise 'ZION' Beat Tape

Having trouble shaking off the Memorial Day weekend haze? 9th Wonder's got you covered. Last night, while we were all putting those last few leftovers to rest from the BBQs and cookouts, the North Carolinian MPC maven snuck out something special with the surprise release of the new beat tape, ZION. According to Mass Appeal, the tape, standing 36 tracks tall, is the inaugural effort in a forthcoming series of tapes, compiling his life's work into volumes of sonic suites.

The first installment is of a particularly potent blend, stunting cooled-out boom-bap and supremely slopped soul within its confines; a perfect Memorial Day chaser for those still coming back to life in the wake of a long weekend. And best of all, it's available for your to stream for the righteously low price of free ninety-nine down below. So go ahead, come back to the world with a little freebie from 9th Wonder. And if it's good to your earhole, take it home with you via iTunes today. Looking for an up-close-and-personal tutorial on 9th Wonder's heralded chop?
