Album Notes JEANIUS, the long-awaited collaboration project between Jean Grae and 9th Wonder shows yet again that the South African-born Grae is among the most skilled wordsmiths in the game. 9th Wonder's lofty, loop-based production meshes perfectly with Jean's cadenced flow, while her intelligent rhymes put the average sex-obsessed female MC to shame. The subject matter goes far deeper than most pedestrian hip-hop boastfests as Jean explores post-abortion guilt on "My Story" and spins compelling vignettes about the sex industry alongside Median on "American Pimp." DP and Phonte of Little Brother are also featured on one of the best hip-hop albums of 2008.
Industry Reviews [It's] honesty and her willingness to recount vivid details of painful, haunting past experiences that allow Jean to connect with audiences on an intimate level.
3.5 stars out of 5 -- 9th Wonder is in top form, flipping Phoebe Snow and other soulful '70s samples with emotional fervor.
[H]er finest album to date....Jean delivers the self-revelatory 'Don't Rush Me' and the touching 'My Story'...
