As we con­tinue to approach the highly antic­i­pated release of Death Of A Pop Star, OkayPlayer.com's OKPTV met up with the project's col­lab­o­ra­tors, the Grammy Award-winning duo David Banner and 9th Wonder, to bring us the first half of an inter­view, shot while the two were recently in New York for their Peter Rosenberg-pre­sented An Evening With… event. Upon the open­ing moments of the video, fan's biggest curiosi­ties are put to rest, as the two address their sur­pris­ing part­ner­ship and how it came about. Though a dif­fer­ence in per­son­al­ity is clear, their chem­istry is unde­ni­able. Among other top­ics dis­cussed, are the many com­mon grounds shared by Banner and 9th. The cre­ative duo also touch on their next sin­gle, "Be With You" fea­tur­ing Marsha Ambrosius and Ludacris, as well as their behind the scenes argu­ments over some of the project's cre­ative decisions.
