Little Brother – ‘May The Lord Watch’

The long wait for new music from Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh together as Little Brother finally ended last night. It’s a fine new album, and a welcome return to one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time. And for those disappointed about there being no 9th Wonder beats on here, stop that. The three of them remain close friends and collaborators elsewhere, and don’t forget that 9th hasn’t been an official member of LB for a while anyway.

It’s been another stellar month for quality new hip-hop. July’s highlights playlist includes joints from Kook Keith, DJ Muggs and Crimeapple, Westside Gunn, Ras Kass, Ice-T, Ill Bill, DJ Shadow and De La Soul, Blueprint and many more.
