and finally,
The album:

Little Brother's debut album, The Listening, is dropping nationwide on Feb 25th. It's currently available in most independent record stores in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, & Charlotte. Look for reviews or articles about Little Brother in The Source, XXL, Urb, The Fader, Elemental, and more!!! This is the dopest album that I have heard in years. If you loved the hip hop that we had in the early 90's, you just found your new favorite group. And let's just say folks like Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Marley Marl, DJ Spinna, and ?uestlove from the Roots have already deemed this album CLASSIC. So come out to the show at the Cradle on 2/21 and see for your self!



that's all for now...look for another huge update in the next few weeks and my website will finally be updated again this week (sorry for the delay)
