As they prepare to drop their highly anticipated album, Death of A Pop Star,, this summer, the super duo of David Banner and 9th Wonder are releasing the video for the album's lead single, "Slow Down." Featuring R&B chanteuse, Heather Victoria, who also doubles as David Banner's leading lady in the video - who just so happens to get kidnapped, leading David Banner and sidekick 9th Wonder through a maze of unforeseen twists and unexpected turns. "At some point the artist shall be held accountable to his or her self," says David Banner. "This is me understanding that and doing something about it." Fitting in with that theme, David Banner is aided throughout the video by a special pair of sunglasses, allowing the rapper to a glimpse into the dark underworld of the kidnappers he's chasing.
David Banner and 9th Wonder's Death Of A Pop Star will be released this summer via David Banner's Big Face Ent.

Background:
9th Wonder has a history of teaming with legendary emcees and crafting dream projects that have resulted in both critical and commercial success. A producer from North Carolina, 9th Wonder started his career as the main producer for the hip-hop group, Little Brother. Leaving Little Brother after their second album together, The Minstrel Show, 9th Wonder has since become a producer and emcee in his own right. Working with MURS, Nas, Beyonce, Jay-Z and more, 9th Wonder has made a name for himself in the hip-hop world. Also known as his rapper alterego, 9thmatic, 9th Wonder is a modern-day hip-hop renaissance man.
Hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, David Banner has made a name for himself on the hip-hop scene since 2000. Since then, he has released four studio albums and even became a celebrated producer like producing smash hits like T.I.'s "Rubberband Man," and having smash hits of his own like "Get Like Me". David Banner's most recent successes include writing, producing, and arranging (with guidance from Jimmy Smith and The G Team at Chalt Day) the new non-hip hop Gatorade theme song "Evolve," performed by Kermit Quinn. Teaming up with 9th Wonder may seem like an unusual collaboration but as the two talented artists come together, their initial album will leave a deep impression on fans. Death of A Pop Star drops summer 2010 via David Banner's own Big Face Entertainment.
