Pete Rock DJ Scratch flipping David Porter’s The Masquerade Is Over. Geechi and Pooh rhyming. Enough said. Shouts to TSS. UPDATE: Man, I knew this beat sounded familiar. Turns out it’s actually a beat done by DJ Scratch for LL Cool J back in the day.

So it seems that Hi-Tek himself let this formerly vaulted track from Big Pooh and Phonte go the 50 Cent way: via YouTube. Props to Spintelect for the heads up.

If you follow me on Twitter, you’d see that I’ve been banging Ev’s solo debut The Weatherman LP quite a bit as of late. And while we wait for Cats & Dogs (shouts to all my RSE fam) I figured I would shed some light on my favorite track from the 2007 release. A song that was constructed after coming out of the depression that hit when he lost his mother (which was spoke on I Still Love You). Video after the jump as well.

A few weeks ago, Little Brother had an in store appearance at the legendary Fat Beats record store in New York City. Good*Fella Radio was in attendance to ask a few questions.

The Takeover were on hand to catch Rapper Big Pooh and Phonte during their farewell tour. More footage down bottom.

Now here’s a couple artists who should make a song together. Anyways, I need to see LB perform live before I don’t get that chance anymore.

After eight years of touring and recording with his partner Big Pooh, Left Back is the last album they will make as a group. As fate would have it Phonte had some time to kill after our interview before he had to meet up with The Roots to record a song for their new album, so we asked him to come along to hear Capone-N-Noreaga’s sequel to their classic The War Report.

In the true spirit of their name Little Brother, Phonte went into immediate fan mode as they ran through track after track, so much so that he requested to take over the interviewing duties. With his own group going through their trials and ultimately deciding to pack it in, he wanted to ask these elder statesman how they managed to stay together for so long. – The Urban Daily
