Looks like the rumors were true...
Underground uber producer 9th Wonder has officially parted ways with North Carolina based rap group Little Brother. In an interview with HipHopGame.com, Little Brother MC Rapper Big Pooh had this to say on the split:
"Little Brother has decided, in the best interest of the group, for Little Brother and 9th Wonder to part ways. There are no hard feelings and no beef. This is just a decision that had to be made so all three of us could move forward and continue to provide the world dope music."
Big Pooh continued, addressing rumors that the group was dropped from its record label, Atlantic Records.
"First, I want to say that Little Brother has not been dropped from
Atlantic. At this time we are in the process of negotiating our release from the label due to a difference in philosophies."
"We asked to be released," LB manager Big Dho added. "I think we may just put the album out on Asylum to close our deal, but it's definitely a wrap for us at Atlantic. We weren't happy with how things were going and we decided we wanted to leave and on their end, they decided that they didn't want to deal with that either. Nobody on our end is mad or has any ill feelings towards their company."
So what does the future hold for Little Brother and 9th Wonder?
LB's third full-length Lp, Getback, is scheduled to drop in 2007 but currently does not have a set release date. Nottz, Alchemist, and possibly DJ Premier are rumored to provide production in 9th's absence.
To hold us over, LB will release its latest mixtape, And Justus For All, as a free download on February 13. Mark your calendars.

9th Wonder is currently working on production for a third album with California MC Murs.
A couple of LB videos to send you on your way...
Allegedly, BET refused to play the "Lovin' It" video because it was too intelligent...
Looks like a regular rap video to me.
A rare one here..."Speed" was the first track the trio created. Crazy homemade. Hip Hop to the core.
LB and Big Daddy Kane...always payin' homage to those that came before.
I'm gettin' nostalgic over here. 2 to 1 LB officially breaks up by January 2008. Phonte is too nice not to go solo.

If this is true about BET then I don't know what to think about them... b/c that is pretty lame!
