9th Wonder: '9th Invented The Remix... AGAIN' (Mixtape)

Former Little Brother member and acclaimed producer 9th Wonder just served up this mixtape out of nowhere via his Twitter account. Dubbed 9th Invented the Remix... AGAIN, it features his take on 23 tracks ranging from Kanye West's "Never Let Me Down," one of College Dropout's best, to Nas's "Theif Theme." 9th also tackled cuts from artists including Supernatural, A Tribe Called Quest, Twista, John Legend, Ghostface, and Goapele.

Perhaps this is 9th's way of getting us all ready for his upcoming collaboration records with Murs, Fornever, and David Banner, Death of a Pop Star. And with all these free mixtapes dropping as of late, I can't help but ask, "When the hell am I supposed to find the time to listen to all of 'em?!"

You can download this mixtape at 2DopeBoyz.
