Producer 9th Wonder and rapper David Banner have come up with a unique approach for marketing their forthcoming album, Death of A Pop Star. The duo are launching an anime-styled comic strip to promote the project, featuring 9th Wonder as a tormented, introspective character struggling to find himself and Banner as a man from poverty who finds a higher calling.

"Comics, sneakers, and Hip-Hop have always been close-knit with each other for years and years," 9th Wonder told AllHipHop. "This comic strip will show you exactly how CLOSE the relationships between those entities are. Death of a Pop Star!"

“The idea with Death of a Pop Star was never for it to be only an album,” Banner added. “The aim of this project was to engage the consumer on many different levels. With the music industry being in the state it’s in, we as artist need to provide as much intriguing content as possible for our fans. This is the second step in exposing the Death of a Pop Star project on many different platforms.”
