It looks like 9th Wonder is going to be taking his sampling show to a new audience – Duke University. According to XXL’s article on 9th Wonder, 9th will be working alongside a Duke Professor teaching an African-American studies class. 9th’s part will be teaching the kids about ‘Sampling Soul’.

The course will focus on the socio-economic meanings and situations related to soul music of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Influences and all that good stuff. Best of luck to 9th and if anyone is at Duke, good luck getting a seat in that class now. I’d love to teach a class like that, makes me want to throw some Syl Johnson on…think I will…and I’ll share it with you.

Enjoy, and good luck to 9th.
