San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival - August 22-24, 2008
Like De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest before them,
Little Brother has a message but knows how to groove,
making them a fine example of fun, well-crafted, highly
conscious underground hip-hop. On the heels of
their critically acclaimed releases "The Listening" and "The
Minstrel Show", Little Brother released "Get
Back" in late 2007. On “Get Back,” Phonte
and Big Pooh are in top form, exchanging rhymes over
a much more diverse collection of beats than on past
records. The departure of producer 9th Wonder
freed the group up to get other producers; a needed
asset. Not that there was anything wrong with 9th,
but the different producers brought fresh beats to
the table for the guys to demolish, which they did. With
their strongest effor to date, Big Pooh and Phonte
have catapulted their way back to the forefront of
the underground hip-hop world.
