Review by Ales Gutiérres

Album Review: Spirit of 94 Version 9 by 9th Wonder If you’re a fan of raw, soulful hip-hop that feels like it’s been pulled straight from the golden era, Spirit of 94 Version 9 by 9th Wonder is worth your time. Released under Brick Records and hailing from the US, this project doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it just reminds you why the wheel was so damn good in the first place. With its tight production and thoughtful tracklist, it’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Two tracks stand out for me, and they’re both versions of “Should’ve Been Here.” The vocal version hits hard because it’s got this reflective vibe, like 9th Wonder is pulling back the curtain on missed opportunities or roads not taken. The lyrics aren’t overly complicated, but sometimes simplicity cuts deeper. Then there’s the instrumental version—man, this one stays with you. It’s smooth yet gritty, with a bassline that feels like it could anchor an entire mood. You don’t need words to feel what he’s saying here; the beat does all the talking. It’s the kind of track that makes you nod your head while staring off into space, thinking about life. Another standout is “Soul Dojo (Essence of Life Remix).” This one flips between laid-back grooves and sharp, almost cinematic breaks. There’s something about how 9th layers his samples—it’s like he’s painting with sound, adding depth without cluttering things up. The remix tag feels earned too; it’s not just slapping a new coat of paint on an old idea. It breathes fresh air into the original concept, which shows off 9th’s knack for reinvention. What I love most about this album is how unapologetically itself it is. No flashy features, no attempts to chase trends—just solid beats and a clear vision. And honestly, isn’t that refreshing? In a world where everything seems designed to grab your attention for five seconds before fading away, Spirit of 94 Version 9 sticks around. Funny thing though—listening to this album feels less like hearing music and more like having a conversation with someone who gets it. Like, really gets it. Maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it. Or maybe it’s just because I can’t stop replaying “Should’ve Been Here.” Either way, hats off to 9th Wonder for keeping the spirit alive. Who knew nostalgia could sound so forward-thinking?
