9th Wonder, Big Pooh, and Phonte, aka Little Brother, have made some major noise in 2003. Their debut, “The Listening,” has received nothing but critical acclaim. Even the indie-hating Source showed love with 4 mics.

North Carolina’s finest has teamed up with fellow hip-hop sensations Blackalicious and newcomers Floetry for some tour dates. Unfortunately, Little Brother is only working some select shows.

“I’m so friggin’ jealous of Little Brother. Hip Hop the way I love it — tight beats, on point lyrics? What!!! I made 4,887,234 people listen to ‘Whatever You Say’ at gunpoint, and I don’t even own a gun!” – ?uestlove of The Roots
