Maybe you’ve heard of Patrick Douthit, also known in the Hip-Hop world as 9th Wonder. Maybe you’ve even met 9th Wonder, worked with 9th Wonder, or maybe you’re a long-time fan of 9th Wonder. If so, then you obviously know his catchphrase Oh the Pressure! whenever the heat is on again and it’s showtime.
Originally from North Carolina, 9th Wonder currently teaches a course called “Sampling Soul” at Duke University, which focuses specifically on music from the civil rights and black power movements. You might call him an enlightened social activist hip-hopper. He’s also one of those soulful cats who can come up with unique ways of intermingling his unique brand of music with a plethora of other genres. Also: He doesn’t consume beef or pork, but loves himself some turkey burgers.
