Тексты песен Little Brother
Информация о артисте
Группу вдохновляли такие исполнители, как A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Roots и Black Star. В состав Little Brother входят Phonte (настоящее имя Phonte Coleman) и Big Pooh (настоящее имя Thomas Jones), выполняющие роли MC, а также DJ и продюсер 9th Wonder (настоящее имя Pat Douthit). 9th Wonder является приверженцем old school техники сэмплирования. Благодаря его таланту, его сразу же начали называть достойным наследником DJ Premier и Pete Rock.
Группа сформировалась в центральном университете Северной Каролины, в городе Durham. Все три участника стали известными ещё в 1998 году, когда они выступали в местной хип-хоп группе, называвшейся The Organization. После распада группы в 2000 году, Phonte, Big Pooh и 9th Wonder возглавили команду из 12-ти MC, назвав себя The Justus League. Трое основных участников оставались неизменными, а остальные часто менялись или уходили. Таким образом, в августе 2001 года, группа официально сформировалась как Little Brother. В своём названии они, как бы отдавали дань тем исполнителям, которые оказали на них влияние.
Первой записью Little Brother был трек "Speed". Данная запись создала стандарт для их последующего творчества. В течение следующих нескольких месяцев у них накопилось достаточно материала, для того, чтобы начать давать живые выступления. На концертах они начали пользоваться достаточной популярностью. После того, как группа разместила свою музыку в Интернете, в 2002 году на них обратила внимание звукозаписывающая компания ABB Records.
В начале 2003 года Little Brother выпустили свой дебютный альбом "The Listening". Диск получил положительные отзывы критиков, и от части это произошло благодаря 9th Wonder. После выпуска альбома, группа также отметилась на релизах Jay-Z и Destiny's Child.
В 2005 году Little Brother выпустили альбом "The Minstrel Show". Их следующий альбом "Get Back", вышел в 2007 году. В январе этого же года было объявлено, что 9th Wonder покидает группу, но не из-за разногласий, а по собственному желанию.

Little Brother was a hip hop group from Durham, North Carolina, USA that consisted of rappers Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh, and DJ/producer 9th Wonder (from 2001 to 2007).
Little Brother formed in Durham, NC at North Carolina Central University in 1998. The group began as a trio, featuring members Phonte (Phonte Coleman), Big Pooh (Thomas Jones), and producer 9th Wonder (Pat Douthit). They are founding members of the North Carolina hip-hop collective called The Justus League, under the umbrella music group The Hall of Justus.
Their official debut came in August 2001 with their first recording, Speed; the song talks about making it big in the music business while still dealing with the troubles and hardships of life and holding down a full-time job. They continued to work the local scene and were picked up by ABB Records. In 2002, they released the cult hit 7" single Atari 2600, with lyrics centering around video games. In 2003, the group released their first full length album, The Listening. This record boosted the group to higher acclaim, but national recognition came when Jay-Z tapped 9th Wonder for the song Threat, off of his eighth offering The Black Album.
That fall, they opened for the Hieroglyphics crew on their Full Circle national tour. Little Brother’s sophomore album, The Minstrel Show, saw increased success due to their raised popularity. It's theme compares present day rap music and the music industry to the minstrel shows of the late 1800s.
In 2005, Little Brother became embroiled in a short-lived feud, when Young Jeezy's protege Slick Pulla challenged the group to a battle after hearing an interview in which Phonte voiced some disapprovments concerning drug rap and the "snowman mascot". Little Brother did not respond, and instead, Phonte called Slick Pulla and the pair resolved the misunderstanding.
Outside of the group, Phonte collaborated with producer Nicolay as The Foreign Exchange, on Connected. Rapper Big Pooh released a solo album entitled Sleepers. 9th Wonder has produced songs for major artists like De La Soul and Destiny's Child, as well as underground artists such as Sean Price, Hieroglyphics, Splash, and fellow members of The Justus League.
In addition, 9th has produced whole albums for Jean Grae (Jeanius), Murs (Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition), Buckshot (Chemistry) and a remix album of Nas' God's Son entitled God's Stepson. In this way he has helped to facilitate the return of albums done entirely by one MC and one producer, which have seen something of a resurgence (RJD2 and Aceyalone's Magnificent City, the upcoming DJ Premier and Royce da 5'9" joint album). He is also working on a second Buckshot/9th album, to be called The Formula.
In late 2006, Little Brother began recording their third album, and second for Atlantic Records, Getback. However, in a drastic turn of events, the group announced in January, 2007 that they would be parting ways with Atlantic. This move was likely due to the commercial failure of The Minstrel Show, and creative differences over their future material. Big Pooh was quoted as saying "We as a group just felt that it was not in our best interest to remain in a situation where our needs were constantly being overlooked. We didn't have an A&R for The Minstrel Show. We don't have any type of relationship with our current A&R. There are just a lot of internal issues that ended up working against us." Their manager Big Dho added that there were no "ill feelings towards their (Atlantic) company."
More of a surprise to fans was news that the group has also parted ways with their longtime producer 9th Wonder. Although 9th Wonder's role in the group was that of a producer, the group's tours only consisted of the other two members and his contribution to recent Little Brother releases such as Separate But Equal were less than before (although it is worth noting that this release was a mixtape and not an official album). Nonetheless, news that he would be playing a smaller role and contributing less to their third album indicated a divide between the members. Big Pooh stated that the decision was amicable on both sides, saying "This is just a decision that had to be made so all three of us could move forward and continue to provide the world with dope music."
Little Brother formally announced the group's breakup in 2010.
Producer DeAndre Keaton (DJ Flash) who is featured on The Chittlin Circuit 1.5 is the official tour DJ for Little Brother.

Little Brother is the Acoustic Emo project of Newcastle-based singer/songwriter John Floreani (Trophy Eyes).
Drawing inspiration from the stylistic sensibilities of Daniel Johnson, Owen and Right Away, Great Captain!, Little Brother is an exploration of love, loss and heartache.
