9th Wonder and Little Brother Part Ways
Wha?!?!
"First, I want to say that Little Brother has not been dropped from Atlantic," Rapper Pooh told HipHopGame. "At this time we are in the process of negotiating our release from the label due t a difference in philosophies."
"We asked to be released," 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."
"It's no big deal though," Dho added. "Nobody on our end is mad or has any ill feelings towards their company."
"It wasn't a situation where they decided to drop us due to lack of sales," Pooh said. "If that was the case, they never would have opened up the budget for us to record Getback ."
Getback, Little Brother's third album, is close to completion but has no release date yet.
"We as a group just felt that it was not in our best interest to remain in a situation where our needs were constantly being overlooked. We didn't have an A&R for The Minstrel Show. We don't have any type of relationship with our current A&R. There are just a lot of internal issues that ended up working against us."
Pooh also addressed the rumors regarding producer 9th Wonder's involvement, or lack thereof, in Little Brother's Getback. "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 with dope music.
Little Brother's latest mixtape, And Justus For All, mixed by DJ Mick Boogie, will be available for download February 13. "The decision to release And Justus For All via download was a decision made by us. After the Drama situation, we felt it was in the best interest of all of us to just give this mixtape away with the current climate of the mixtape scene."
And Justus For All will be available for download February 13. More details on where to download it will be given closer to the release date.
