Hailing from Durham, North Carolina Little Brother heralded a new wave of early 2000s rap acts with a clear debt to the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy and De La Soul whom they saw as big brothers to their own musical aspirations.

In this lecture at the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy, Phonte talks about how the group stood out like a sore thumb in their local scene, breaking through on the Internet with famous fans such as The Roots and Pete Rock and the dangers of making it and believing your own hype.

Composed of producer 9th Wonder and rappers Big Pooh and Phonte, the group’s 2003 debut album, The Listening, instantly put them on the map just as a different kind of Southern hip-hop sound was rising to dominance. Soon after the group moved from the independent ABB Records to Atlantic where they released The Minstrel Show, continuing the critical acclaim but falling foul of commercial expectations.
