The North Carolina rap duo, Little Brother - made up of Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh - made a surprise announcement today that they will be dropping their fifth studio album - and first album together in nine years - May The Lord Watch. The only other indication that this album was on the way was a clip that Phonte posted on his Instagram account four days ago with the cryptic caption, Stay tuned... #LBbizness. The clip featured the logo and jingle for the fictional television network, UBN, that was used to tie together the concept of their critically-acclaimed 2005 album, The Minstrel Show.
While the majority of Little Brother's previous albums featured soulful production from 9th Wonder - who served as the group's third member - but it appears he will not be returning on May The Lord Watch. While 9th Wonder took to Twitter to promote the project with the message, "My brothers @phontigallo & @rapperbigpooh give you that much needed food, music, and soul.", he also wrote, "Shouts to my brother @khrysis_ on production." Khrysis has collaborated with Little Brother in the past, featuring on their 2007 album, Getback, and 2010 album, Leftback.
Although the songs are not yet available to stream, the album's tracklist can be seen on Little Brother's official YouTube page.
