A C Minor 9 (Cm9) chord contains the notes C, D#, A#, D, G. It is built from the minor 9th formula 1 - ♭3 - 5 - ♭7 - 9, with C as the root.
Cm9 contains C, E♭, G, B♭ and D — the root, minor 3rd, perfect 5th, flat 7th and 9th. It's a Cm7 (C-E♭-G-B♭) with the 9th (D) added. The minor 3rd gives it its minor quality, the flat 7th its smoothness, and the 9th that extra layer of neo-soul colour.
