Getback has been well-received by the European press since its release last October, receiving 4/5 rating and #2 year-end ranking from the UK’s venerable Hip-Hop Connection. Getback features production from Illmind, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Denaun Porter and 9th Wonder, as well as guest appearances from Lil’ Wayne and fellow Hall of Justus family members Jozeemo and Darien Brockington.
Formed in 2001 at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC, Little Brother has become one of the premier names in soulful hip-hop. With influences that range from the expressive boom bap of A Tribe Called Quest to the rugged back and forth chemistry of EPMD, the group’s members, Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh, have become essential names in hip-hop circles worldwide.

What the Press is saying about Little Brother:
“…Little Brother are repping their hood to the fullest and giving mainstream media a much-needed taste of conscious rap with a boom bap.” – XXL
“LB is simply Phonte and Pooh forming like Voltron and accenting each other perfectly” – Hip-Hop Connection
“If LB’s stage performance recalls the Golden Era/ Renaissance period of hip-hop, Getback reinforces the spirit of homage.” – Trace Magazine
