Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Murs & 9th Wonder — Brighter Daze


"The Final Adventure" wasn't really Nick Carter & Patrick Douthit's last thing, the guys are back to work together on album number six in eleven years. On the sixth album, they decide to change their formula, improperly lengthening the skeleton to twelve tracks and bringing it back to forty minutes, an exaggerated time, as well as calling several guests. Rapsody, Problem, Bad Lucc, Reuben Vincent, Propaganda, Choo Jackson, Mac Miller, Vinny Radio and Franchise participate in the tape. 9th Wonder brings generic beats, watered-down soul / rnb, tight hard drums, Murs eagerly raps on different topics. There are no notable songs for the first twenty-five minutes, sometimes the producer finds an almost good rhythm, very often not. Then comes "Walk Like a God", where Rapsody and Propaganda annihilate the lead performer over a competent production, in the best track of the tape. The event is repeated in "No Shots", with Mac Miller stealing the show from the others. Published by Jamla, the project never feels essential, realized by a duo now forgotten by the hip-hop scene. 5/10.
