Left Back will be released through many outlets on April 20th, of course a tentative date with these record labels and all these days. With the new LP will be those 4 new music videos mentioned earlier, a DVD and a ton of other goodies I'm sure as this will be the final Litter Brother effort.
I gotta say that I'm stupid excited for this! Get Back was a great album, and the Minstrel Show is still one of my all time faves. We have always lacked in the visual department, and I think it will be refreshing to finally offer the people those visuals." It doesn't make a whole lot of sense in this day and age. Rapper Big Pooh also mentioned "Three albums, three mixtapes, one video. While not customary for a Little Brother release – the group has had only one previous official video, for The Minstrel Show's "Lovin' It" – with LeftBack, Little Brother is excited to offer loyal supporters a long-desired visual take on the group's music. With LeftBack, I've done that."Īccompanying LeftBack will be four official music videos, all shot and directed by Matt Koza, known for his previous work with Foreign Exchange, Rapper Big Pooh, Kam Moye, RJD2, and more. Phonte expresses that "I didn't want our last record to be a bunch of second-rate material I wanted to walk away from Little Brother knowing that I gave our fans all that I had to give, and said everything I wanted to say. While it borders on distracting for the listener, boss Bun isn’t fazed in the least, and rightfully drops “When it comes to trill, I’m the litmus test,” just so everyone is on the same page.What was previously mentioned as possibly being an EP, the boys from the Hall of Justus have decided to make a full album as their final release as a group. Speaking of the Pimp, Bun’s old partner still haunts the man and gets much love on the opening and closing cuts here, but there’s a new union struck with rapper Drake as the Drizzy one gets two guest shots and a shout-out from J. As far as surprises, there are few, but DJ Premier’s scratching and production on “Let ‘Em Know” gives Bun a new, funky flavor to bounce off and when “Right Now” utilizes a verse each from the late Pimp C and 2Pac, the results aren’t tacky, but are instead shockingly good.
Anyone familiar with his first two efforts will find the same mix of radio-friendly singles (check the radiant T-Pain feature “Trillionaire” or the ultra-smooth Drake team-up “Put It Down”), and the kind of Houston-styled street music made popular by the rapper’s original crew, UGK (check the opening “Chuuch!” for that classic church organ swang). Back with the 808 boom, the stone-cold rhymes, and that sturdy, warrior soul, Bun B is officially crowned consistent with his third solo effort, the satisfying Trill O.G.
