It's become quite apparent that even in 2011, some years after the Carolina based group Little Brother called it quits, their spirit still remains ever present. Not just because the die-hard fans continue to bump The Listening, The Minstrel Show and the rest of their cult classics but because two thirds of the former trio have released solo albums. 9th Wonder took listeners through a glorious musical journey on The Wonder Years whilst Phonte's working man's album Charity Starts At Home arguably stands as one of the best releases of 2011. So all that remains now is for the heavy hitting Rapper Big Pooh to round off an impressive year for the heralded acts with his awaited release Dirty Pretty Things. Minus Phonte and Wonder, the Virginia born spitter has offered solid mixtapes aplenty, but can his second full length LP push him out of the LB shadow and into a lane of his own?

Still going strong in 2011, the Wu-Tang revolution, continues get Hip Hoppers amped like the first time they ever came across the Staten Island natives. One question which continues to remain unanswered (besides when the new joint Wu album will be released) is which member has the most stellar catalog of albums? Whilst there’s room for many debates, the Chef Raekwon is one name who can lay claim to the accolade. Putting out fine, cinematic material since the 1995 classic Only Built For Cuban Linx, Rae’s importance to the branding of the Wu remains ever much important, and his latest release intends to keep the ‘W’ in the circle of rap’s greats still present in the new millennium.
