In support of their sophomore album, The Minstrel Show, Little Brother (Rapper Big Pooh, Phonte and producer 9th Wonder) are getting ready to take their show on the road with a 35 city North American tour.
Described as equal parts soul and satire, the album attempts to hold a mirror in the face of the current state of the rap game. The highly anticipated release has garnered critical acclaim from XXL magazine who rated the album an “XL” and Scratch, which gave the disc a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
Since recording together in 2001, the group has received praise from XXL and the Source, while being featured on MTV and in the pages of Vibe, Elemental and URB magazines.
The Minstrel Show will hit record store shelves on September 13
