Continuing the tradition they set with the critically acclaimed GetBack, Big Pooh and Phonte have enlisted multiple producers for LeftBack, both from within and outside of the Justus League camp. Producers for this album include frequent collaborator Khrysis and GetBack producers Denaun Porter and Zo!, as well as efforts from Symbolyc One and first time Little Brother contributors, J. Bizness, and King Karnov.
In addition to production, Khyrsis will also be contributing guest vocals on the album. Joining the North Carolina producer/MC are Torae, Truck North, Jozeemo and fellow Justus League MC’s Chaundon and Median. Resident crooner Darien Brockington and songstress Yahzarah also supply vocals on the album.
Despite Little Brother’s dominating presence in the hip-hop world since the 2003 release of The Listening, LeftBack will mark the duo’s first album with a true multi-media experience. Accompanying LeftBack will be four official music videos, all shot and directed by Matt Koza, known for his previous work with Foreign Exchange, Rapper Big Pooh, Kam Moye, RJD2, and more. While not customary for a Little Brother release – the group has had only one previous official video, for The Minstrel Show’s “Lovin’ It” – with LeftBack, Little Brother is excited to offer loyal supporters a long-desired visual take on the group’s music. Says Big Pooh, “Three albums, three mixtapes, one video. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in this day and age. We have always lacked in the visual department, and I think it will be refreshing to finally offer the people those visuals.”
Building on the album’s multi-media offerings, the initial pressing of LeftBack will also feature a limited edition DVD full of exclusive bonus material. Compiled in a documentary format, the bonus DVD will include recent tour footage, as well as exclusive Little Brother footage shot and archived throughout their career. For fans that miss the initial run, a subsequent DVD-only release will also include all official music videos from LeftBack.
Big fans of The Foreign Exchange round these parts. The initial album Connected is a heavily napped on item. So coming back they approached this video for Take Off Your Blues in two parts that are as real as it comes when dealing with relationships. Great video to compliment the music.
No secret we're Little Brother fans on this side, so when The trailer(below) dropped for Rapper Big Pooh's first single The Comebackoff his freshest album Delightful Bars dropped we were anticipating the actual vid. So here's official vid(above) + trailer(below) for The Comeback.
I think it was last year we were waiting patiently for the Seinfeld inspired Mixtape About Nothing by Wale. It hasn't left the iPod since. So when we heard that his next tape would be produced by 9th Wonder it was a wrap. Now that the artwork has trickled across our screen to notice the Marty McFlyness(Dr. Brown maybe too close for flyness tho) sponsored by LRG we're definitely amped, like you should be. Scheduled to drop April 29th.
