The North Carolina based Little Brother returns to the
mixtape scene with 1.5 of their Chitlin' Circuit
series featuring some oldies and some new cuts that
will have fans watering for their newest album The
Minstrel Show. Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh and producer
9th Wonder of course get help from The Justus League
veterans like the Bronx MC Chaundon, Joe Scudda,
L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Yahzarah as well as new people like
Keisha Shontelle and Cesar Comanche.

You get to hear the group many compare to a young A
Tribe Called Quest over hot beats done by 9th himself,
Nicolay (Foreign Exchange), Young Guru (Roc-a-fella)
and Khrysis (The Away Team). Notable songs include
"Nobody Like Me" featuring O-Dash and crooner Darien
Brockington, "Welcome to Durham" featuring transplant
legend Big Daddy Kane, "Starvation", "War" and "Altitudes".


This is just an appetizer for the new album but it
leaves a strong taste in your mouth. I'll give the
mixtape 4 solid globes. If you want to check the review for the original The Chitlin Circuit just click here!
