A member of the hip-hop group
Little Brother and a solo artist as well,
Rapper Big Pooh launched his music career while attending North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina. There he met DJ/producer
9th Wonder along with rapper
Phonte, both of whom joined up with
Big Pooh to form the
Little Brother trio in 1998.
Little Brother were signed to the Atlantic label and hit their stride with 2005's sophomore LP
The Minstrel Show, which was released the same year as
Pooh's solo debut,
Sleepers.
9th Wonder contributed to the MC's sophomore solo release, 2009's The Delightful Bars, then in 2010
Little Brother announced their disbandment. Mixtapes like the
Raekwon-honoring The Purple Tape and the Fat Boy Fresh series brought
Pooh to 2014 and a solo record deal with the
Mello Music Group. Home Sweet Home, a collaborative album with producer
Nottz, appeared on the label in 2015. ~ David Jeffries
