With influences that range from the expressive boom bap of A Tribe Called Quest to the rugged back and forth chemistry of EPMD, Little Brother’s members, Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh, have become essential names in hip-hop circles worldwide.
Little Brother released their debut album, “The Listening”, in 2003 to widespread critical acclaim. After receiving props from hip-hop luminaries such as Pete Rock and DJ Premier, and touring nationally and internationally with the likes of Hieroglyphics and The Roots, Little Brother then released their sophomore effort, “The Minstrel Show”, in 2005 to a mass of critical praise and media controversy.
Little Brother released their third album, “Getback”, in the fall of 2007 with great anticipation, with this being their first without producer 9th Wonder. The group then went on to release retail versions of two stellar mixtapes, “Separate But Equal” and “And Justus For All”, in 2008 for the fans who wanted the songs free of DJ drops and scratches.
After a three year hiatus, Little Brother return with their fourth and final album, “Leftback”. Featuring guest appearances by fellow Hall Of Justus members, Chaundon, Darien Brockington, and Jozeemo, as well as Trunk North and Median. Production credits include Denaun Porter, Symbolyc One, Jbizness, Zo!, with a bulk of the production by longtime collaborator Khrysis. Hall Of Justus is the movement!
