It’s the beginning of the end, folks. Here’s the first single off Little Brother’s final album, Leftback. MySpace rip for now, though. Props to ILL for the alley-oop. UPDATE: CDQ, courtesy of Tigallo himself.

gregdeezy said this on March 2nd, 2010 at 11:31 pm
9th is dope, but theres dudes they can work with that run circles around him. all of you acting like they cant do anything without 9th, they should call the album let go.

dope…i loved 9th with the group but LB is still dope with Khrysis, Illmind or whoever else they choose to handle the production…im gonna be sad when the day the break up is final. these dudes helped me gain a love for music that few can do…
M. Beezy said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:17 am
Damn, gonna miss these guys. LeftBack definitely going to be dope. Can’t wait.
Ms, Hiphopaholic said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:28 am
Always found them to be a little boring. As far as production goes, Nicolay (being an affiliate) is the best of the bunch.
sperm said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:32 am
dope song, lets enjoy LB and what they’ve done and are doing, no need to hate or talk about 9th right now.

LB Is Forever A Personal Fav.
Why Ya’ll Still Talkin’ Bout 9th?
9th Is Okay But His Beats Get Redundant.
Khrysis/Illmind/Nicolay Are More Than Qualified To Handle The Production On This Album.
Khrysis>9th
Dolo said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 3:13 am

LB Forever. Khrysis has always been stepping his game up. Its sad that 9th aint on it but it is what it is. It sounds like some old LB that should have been on the Chittlin Circuit or sumthin straight fire. Imma miss LB Pooh do yo thang with that next album I’m waitin.
Brian Kidd said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 7:55 am
Same sample Madlib used on “Eye” from Madvilliany but KHRYSIS flipped it crazzzzzzzzzzzzzy. Love this
Young-zilla said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 8:20 am
this is the main reason I come to this site every fuckin day…..wish they woulda split an extra verse! Like how clipse do it. Lovin this shit though. Wasn’t feelin the beat till phonte started rappin. Can’t wait for the new album,damn!

Good shit. stop complaining about 9th, he left the group so phonte and pooh arent going to sit around and beg him. He did what he wanted and the LB are still doing dope music without him. Too bad this is their last album, they were my favorite group.
Rudy said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 9:34 am
Great track man! .. i love 9th but i’m just glad that little brother didn’t break entirely.. can’t wait for this album!
Ricki Lutes said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 9:36 am
Little Brother fan for life right here. Even if they break up, they will forever get play in the deck. They put on the best hip hop performance I’ve ever seen and I love all their albums.
And for those who say that 9th shouldn’t have parted, I don’t think it makes a difference, becaust honestly, I think Illmind and Khrysis beats fits LB’s sound just as much as 9th’s does.
BrooklynsOwn said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 9:42 am
lol LB forever
this shit is great
and as for you folks underrating 9th Wonder
yall need to stop smoking that bum ass Reggie..
SUPERSLIM64 said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:14 am
phonte=one of the best to do it! I hope Pooh keeps doin it. As much as I love LB, as long as they both keep makin music, I don’t need another LB album. Both have their own lane and were driftin apart, musically. ‘Te I like the singin but PLEASE KEEP RAPPIN! DO NOT ANDRE 3000 US. We need your 16′s in our life…
riddlah51 said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:23 am
Oh yeah. Forgot. We’d love a primo joint before y’all go, tho.
riddlah51 said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:24 am
Unfortunately we will just never know what really happen with 9th. Its gotta be bigger than just creative differences. Some shit mustve happened.
ben said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:37 am
he threw he shot a 9th ” & all the turn coat niggaz that forgot what we was playing for ”
A turncoat is a person who shifts allegiance from one loyalty or ideal to another, betraying or deserting an original cause by switching to the opposing side or party
Cash said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:58 am
I see a lot of people bitching about 9th and I don’t understand. The man is over rated hes a good producer but not that great I’d pick khrysis over 9th now. 9th beats are getting boring to me. Oh and one more thing get off 9th’s nuts
Theone said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 11:39 am
NOOOOOOOO…
I gonna miss LB…
123 said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Man this sound like some old shit they had. No real growth,I see why it is a wrap.
RayBanJayMan said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Damn I’m gonna be playin LB albums all day cuz I heard this. You hear the shoutouts at the end?
J. Cole and Jay Elect are the future. Drake not so much. Wale maybe, but may be a disappointment. Wale’s mixtapes are 10x better than his pop album
CashCab said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 12:12 pm
LIKE I SAID BEFORE…..GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE. 9TH WONDER IS THE MISSING LINK! PERIOD! NO DISS TO KHRYSIS! KHRYSIS IS DOPE!

damn cause this is crazy…
The Zim said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
This is not there last album. They are just saying that to boost sales. They’ll be back to do another album. This song is dope. There last album willl be with 9th, but dont quote me on that shit.
James said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 1:40 pm
boost sales? let me kindly direct you to Gordon Gartrell Radio http://www.gordongartrellradio.com/2010/01/episode-16/ where Phonte discusses that this is infact the “last LB” album. and LB has been the tightest in the game with or without 9th and they are still going to be outside of LB. “no games, no gimmicks”
syd said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Little Brother is my 2nd favorite group of all time next to Wu. I hope this wont be their last official album, but i got a feeling it is… As long as Big Pooh and Tay Gravy keep making music together its all good. Te will still be the best feature killer in the game plus he got foreign exchange…. and PHONTE if you are reading this, PLEASE MAKE A SOLO RAP ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for 9th, he is one of my favorite producers of all time, and him + Little Brother were the PERFECT combination… thats why i HATE to see them beef like this. But as khrysis shows he’s a GREAT producer and fits well with them…
kidjustice19 said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 8:50 pm
dang this is unreal…the last LB album arggggggggg
Praverb said this on March 3rd, 2010 at 9:50 pm
im all teary eye’d :[ … WHY!!!!!!!!! no really. come on 9th! throw beat on there …. jus one(small voice).
sam said this on March 4th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Khrysis is just as good if not better than 9th.
Musikfiend said this on March 4th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!!!! Why you gonna break up a beautiful thing like LB???????? The end of real, true Hip Hop as I know it….sad day.
illustrious1 said this on March 5th, 2010 at 4:00 am
9th Wonder is the greatest producer of our generation. He hasnt made a wack beat in 7 years. The should of brought back 9th for this album. 9th is one of the greatest producers of all time already.
MarkMac said this on March 6th, 2010 at 5:17 am
can’t wait for the album, dope post!
ChYnO said this on March 6th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
IMO it is sad to say this is the last LB CD. 9th should be on this venture. I really hope and pray that this CD is better than “get Back”. No matter what the music will be on my online radio station. Big Travis show on LIVE365.com
Big Travis said this on March 22nd, 2010 at 7:36 pm
dope tae shouted out Tanya Morgan. If you aint hear them dudes yet check em. its like pooh said;
I had to sit and assess
Why all my favorite groups is a mess
Then I’m like they probably split for the best
They had to make room for the rest..
AtoX said this on March 30th, 2010 at 2:25 am
OMG I can’t believe this is it for LB. You guys have to continue to give us more. Can you please continue to make hit music for the hip hop nation. Please!
Monica said this on April 6th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Boy this joint is fire… all this 9th dick riding needs to stop! Khrysis is hotter handz down…he’s more versatile period…They actually sound better w/o 9th! I was tired of the lame signature 9th snare and random abrupt sample chops. Khrysis; Illmindz; Nicolay running circles round 9th…NC Forever!!
