It seems as though drama involving Little Brother is not limited to being inside the group, as Justus League affiliate Jozeemo revealed that he has problems with them of his own.
“It’s like this. I had my own movement going on and Little Brother and [Hall of Justus] reached out to me and wanted me to rock with them…wanted to show me the dough…wanted to sign me,” explained Jozeemo in an interview on kevinnottingham.com. “Phonte and 9th were very instrumental in getting me to sign. Of course after I signed, the Little Brother thing fell apart — 9th left the group, Phonte says he was tired of rapping so he started doing Neo-Soul. You know, while they were beefing with each other and Phonte posted the video about 9th and how they hate each other, I was still cool with everybody cause once again, I wasn’t with them from the start. They reached out to me while it was in full stream. I had my own relationship with each one of them and it didn’t have anything to do with any of that other bullshit that was going on.”
Jozeemo continued, explaining that he was eventually set aside. “I [was] featured on two Little Brother albums, Getback and Leftback. Two songs–one per album and every time Little Brother did a show, they would never do my songs. They would never take me with them. I’m not saying that anyone owes me anything, but why even come to me and say you ride with me, you believe in me, you think I’m hot, and I’m dope and then when I get with you, you don’t want to do anything with me?”
In the interview, Jozeemo’s allegations include 9th Wonder giving him a “throwaway beat,” and that 9th falsely told him he would end up on Murs’ album.
“Some people are going to say I’m just saying this to promote the album. Let me tell you something man. Let me make one thing crystal clear — I have never sold an album period. I was signed to HOJ in 2007, I dropped a wack album with them, and it was wack. I can say the album was wack! It was poorly put together, the beat selection wasn’t all that great. I mean, I’m not one of those dudes that stand on the soap box and toot my own horn because I know that I’m a realist, you feel me? So, I’ve never sold an album period so I don’t care about album sales.”

Damn thats foul…Them dudes aint shit..What the Hell does Big Dho got to say about this?
They are foul for what? Having their own issues? Did he ask to go on tour with them? There are a lot of holes in his explanation.
Crabs in a barrel. You mad because LB didn’t do your song? The songs you on, don’t rock at a show. It’s simple. If you’re mad at Tay, holla at Tay. If you’re mad at 9th, holla at 9th. Be a grown and talk this mess out. Don’t talk to the media. Crabs in freaking Barrel.
Didnt Tay do the same thing? Went public with his opinion of 9th? Called him all kind of bitches. I didn’t hear Jozeemo blame anybody. He just said they was wack for how he was treated. I don’t even see where it said he was mad at them. What the hell are you guys reading?
This nigga sounds like a bitch. You can NEVER blame another man for you not being successful, everything in this life falls on YOUR shoulders. How can you say niggas never wanted to do your songs when you said you made a WACK album?! Gtfoh! Niggas these days, man.
Sounds more like he’s being brutally honest. He even went as far to state his album was bad, 9th and phonte would never admit they made sub- par/bad cd. I heard the “that ain’t love” feature and he definitely outshone the others, I was just hoping I would hear more. Realistically he didn’t need 9ths hit and miss beats, It would have been a situation where by 9th gave him his best, except 9ths best is not THE best weighing him up to Pete Rock and Premo. He should have done a Masta Ace and done a global search for solid hip hop beats.
Dude shoukd be glad he was on their cds damn dude get real..
who the fuck is Jozeemo????????????????????
Niggas still wear wave caps?
lol
Sounds like he’s whining. I never heard of him so he should stfu and be glad that he even got a chance on those records. He should’ve made some dope shit so he could do his OWN shows instead of getting on here crying like a bitch.
When yall posting the Phonte- “Charity Starts at Home” review? Jamla…Foreign Exchange!
Here you go: https://hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.1769/title.phonte–charity-starts-at-home
HE definitely opened up for Little Brother when they did their show in Atlanta, last year (September I believe)..so how isnt he getting shows?
dude waits until now to speak on 9th and them ? wow. no disrespect but it’s disrespectful to wait on another man to handle YOUR business. quoted from rass kass. any way go cop that wonder years album people it’s definitely crack. jamla 4 life baby !!!!!!!!!!
What happend to “Peace to my nigga Jozeemo” lmao
Tay and 9th down people all the time. They used to blast their opinion of how southern rappers were wack. But that was their opinion. It didn’t make them “whining bitches” because Gucci Man was more successful than Little Brother. But as soon as somebody voices a personal opinion about them, they become a whining bitch. Sounds like the people mad about homey speakin his mind are the whining bitches.

jozeemo is real as it gets!
I’m just waiting for the Jozeemo & Slick Pulla song!#you heard it 1st on DX!”pop shit then apologize nicca just axe TAY!
Jozeemo is one of the realist dudes in the game. He’s from east Durham and that’s a spot you don’t wanna be caught on if u aint from there. Him and M.O.S need to do something. but Little Brother doesn’t even get play around here and whens the last time they even put on for us. Big ups to Joz for making it in the industry. Welcome to Durham was def a push for him. CHEEK ROAD!!!
You said it best Durham cats will go H.A.M on a motherfucker,I from Durham and I won’t even go over to east Durham unless I’m working. Don’t believe me check out “Welcome to Durham”
@Bom919
What you said about Little Brother is true.
They (and the whole Justus League & Jamla) dont even get no play here in Wilmington either.
The only names that matter in NC right now:
Jodeci
J. Cole
Sunshine Anderson
Anthony Hamilton
Anybody but Justus League & Jamla!!!
I hear everything Jozeemo is saying and all that… But one thing he’s not telling the truth about is him not going anywhere with Little Brother and performing his songs. I saw Jozeemo, Joe Scudda, and Little Brother in DC at the Black Cat. Not only did he have his own set, but they also brought him out to perform on Table For Two. I’m just saying…
You gets no credibility with a du-rag on your head in 2011… especially one to purposely match your outfit. FOH.
shut up nigga you look like the black tin man of Wizard of Oz.
checkout blacklawrebelmusic on youtube and give feedback plz.
Must be a NC thing.
Seriously. What is this nigga’s point in speaking this ish?
I’m guessing dude wasn’t handling his like he should have; dude was lazy; dude was borderline wack; dude is a herb.
East Durham? Really? I’ll take y’all word on it.
Truthfully, Phonte flipped out on 9th for not a reason at all; 9th is starting to get mad lazy; and Big Pooh is just wack anyway. Niggas need to humble themselves and realize who and what they are. Average ass hip hop niggas.
Well spoken from a cat who has probably never heard a Jozee song. Talent is talent. If he was wack, why the hell did LB put him on two albums? And if you never plan on listening to a Jozee album, why do u even care what he thinks? It’s one thing to be a fan, but its another to be a groupie.
All of you Dick ridin non NC movement kats need to realize 9th is what he is. He’s a dream seller. Basically the “Puffy” of underground hip hop. Count all the acts he’s suppose to have help launch there careers, and look where they are. No where! I honestly though it was a mistake for Jozze to even sign with them dudes b/cuz his buzz was large without them,and he was a diff type of MC.9th is cool but everything you hear is truth or really close to it.If you dont think so ask the opinons of Pooh, Tyler woods,Big Remo, Big Treal, Skyzoo, Vandalyzm,EA Floe, Tightman…Hell ask Rapsody, Tom, n Act Proof a year from now when JAMLA has a whole new line up! Remember, The industry…it is what it is!
Alot of the people commenting dont understand industry shit like this in general. People are playing him out like Consequence, “Oh whys he whining, he’s a bitch, you know without this guy you wouldnt have a career” No fools! Without his complaint you wouldnt have shit to talk about. He quite clearly should not be/or should not have signed to 9ths or Phontes situation. For the same reasons Jay Electronica, J. Cole and the other silly but talented artists should not be signed to Roc Nation and other phoney labels. The shady characters that sign you just want to boost their own rep and tell the world their running a label without having experience of running a label or having had one and had It flop. In 2011 If you are not willing to bend over for labels you should do your own thing independently(Seek out solid original beats for albums, innovative but affordable promotion, bookings). My direct advice to Jozeemo is to leave the whole beef shit and take control of his own career, there are too many snakes.
man it aint 9th fault dude wasn’t hot enough to blow up all jozeemo needed to do was stack his bread up and quit looking for hand outs i guess 9th was supposed to just give him his dopest beats for free nigga this a business and if you aint selling or at least got some type of buzz underground or mainstream man come on bruh time to man up the world is cold bruh keep a parka
If yall wanna know about Jozeemo, watch the documentary, “Welcome 2 Durham”. Bruh got a real story to tell. He got real pull in the street. And them Justus League niggas were terrified of him. That’s why they signed him. Ask Legacy. And I still don’t hear Jozee tryin to promote no music. He just sayin shit that yall scared to say.
I would rather be feared than loved too.
Jozeemo got a new video where he’s got a to do list and one of the things says “shit on CRYsis” so i guess its more than just 9th and phonte. Jozee has always been real nice every time i’ve met him but I really wouldnt want to be on his bad side.
yo jo i herd u on the getback not bad…hell 9th wud put most in a box(his sound is premo 80s boom pap)but fuk with me jo im outta south fla give a diff look u knw….get atme n b4 long yul b freestylin on cosmic kev show!!! RiqRizzle@youtube nobody has it all
after my encounter with 9th on twitter one day i could honestly say i agree with jozeemo that nigga 9th is a bitch ass nigga… lol
and mind you i dont even check for the underground bullshit fuck the underground lol
Stop picking on me!
People can talk shit back and forth as much as they want, but people just wanna hear pure Hip Hop music.
Phonte and 9th are both killin shit at the moment. Jozeemo is not, bottom line.
Stop dick riding
Real talk! Jozeemo is speaking what MANY others in NC have been scared to for yrs. Do you know how many “9th shafted me” stories I’ve heard? Granted, he owes nobody nothing, but since the world makes him the face of NC, you think he would want to see as many artists from his state shine as possible. He doesn’t tho. If they are doper then him or his Jamla crew, he ignores them. To be honest, Ive seen his crew perform a few times.Im not understanding the attention they get. As for Jozeemo and his talent, ask about anyone in NC “Who can you put on a bill and guarentee a packed house?” The 1st response will be “Jozeemo” He’s one of the few MCs that can street rap, freestyle, sing and entertain in every direction he leads. He’s got the “real” fans that will drive hours to see him on stage even tho they talk to him on a regular in Durham. He IS NCHipHop in every form. Google him, listen to his 10+ albums, then try to say he’s whining cuz he didnt get put on. He is on in the streets, without kissing ass to anyone, he’s earned his fans thru his music. Nuf said!
ey u from NC? if so, what do you know about kam moye(supastition)? Like if hes ever gonna come back or something. Im over here in Cali but i was a big fan.
You a bitch u one of them internet niggas talk MADD shit online but shook to look up in real life bitch
