Little Brother
First the Little Brother Breaks Up….
If there was one quintessential rap group to drop in the past decade, it would be Little Brother. The laid back beats and Southern swagger set the Durham, North Carolina trio apart when they first dropped, and even though they were never commercially successful, they had legions of fans, including yours truly. Unfortunately, Little Brother [...]

9th Wonder is Out of Little Brother?
Again, I might need a late pass on this. I’m workin’ my ass off here. So the rumors are somewhat true. Little Brother isn’t “breaking up,” per se, but their most influential member might be out of the group. From ProHipHop: [Phonte] Coleman says the beats they’ve received from longtime Little Brother member and Justus [...]
As the Phonte Turns…
More Phonte drama. Man, the dude can’t catch a break. Now, Eternia (whom we’ve featured a couple times on this site), is all upset because Phonte called her Tit-ernia in a joking matter and sent her off the deep end. According to her MySpace blog, after the “incident”, she ” I felt as small as…. [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
