Buckshot, 9th Wonder Working On 'The Formula'
Boot Camp Clik MC Buckshot and producer 9th Wonder are heading back into the studio to work on a follow up to the duo’s album, Chemistry.
"Yeah, we do have that album coming out," Buckshot told AllHipHop.com. "As a matter of fact it's called The Formula. It's gonna be a good album, but it ain't gonna be topics that will make a lot of people happy."
The release comes on the heels of Chemistry, a 2005 9th Wonder-produced collaboration featuring appearances from the Boot Camp Clik and the Justus League.
In addition to being a member of the group Black Moon, Buckshot serves as co-head of Duck Down Records as well as a key component of the Boot Camp Clik, a unit comprised of Heltah Skeltah (Sean Price and Rock), O.G.C. (Originoo Gun Clappaz) (Starang Wondah, Top Dog and Louisville Sluggah).
9th Wonder has earned critical acclaim as one-third of the North Carolina-based group Little Brother and a member of the Justus League, a collective featuring Little Brother (Phonte Rapper Big Pooh and 9th Wonder), Big Dho, Cesar Comanche, the Away Team (Sean Boog and Khrysis), Chaundon, DJ Flash, Edgar Allen Floe, Joe Scudda, L.E.G.A.C.Y. Median and Nicolay.
The North Carolina Central University graduate has produced songs for Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child and Jean Grae, among others.
"The Formula is the truth, and the truth hurts, but the truth will set you free," Buckshot said of the pair’s sophomore effort. "But, if you're in bondage, anything that sets you free will hurt at first. If you've got cuffs on and you're struggling to get those cuffs off, first you've got to go through some pain before you get those s**t's off."
While many artists strive to concoct a masterpiece, Buckshot admits to comparing his forthcoming opus to a more classic literary creation.
"I want to be like Frankenstein creating a monster," said the rapper. "If you know the true story of Frankenstein, he wasn't a monster. That's a real deep analogy-people just didn't understand him. That's the reason why The Formula is gonna be ill, it's gonna be based on the monster that people created."
The Formula is scheduled to hit stores in the first quarter of 2007.
