Getback is a forthcoming album from Little Brother. It will be the group's third studio album, following 2005's The Minstrel Show.
[edit] Emerging Details
The group has confirmed the involvement of several outside producers, in addition to 9th Wonder. These include Nottz (who previously collaborated with the group on the Justus League album, Soldiers of Fortune), Illmind (who has contributed to their mixtape albums), The Alchemist, and possibly DJ Premier.
So far, the songs recorded and confirmed include 4 Nottz produced songs, and 4 Illmind produced songs, along with 1 9th Wonder produced song. This caused many to speculate about 9ths role within the group, some even suggesting that he may have left the group entirely. Asked for clarification, 9th responded:
“ I'm still part of the group and that's all I have to say. I'm big on what's in the group stays in the group. I've always said the same thing, I'm 9th Wonder of Little Brother and Phonte is the leader of Little brother. This is the direction the MC's have decided to take. I've only got one beat on the album for now and if I get more, I do and if I don't, I don't. ”
Fan reaction to this news has been mixed, with some welcoming the new changes, and many others calling for greater involvement from 9th. In a drastic turn of events, the group announced in January, 2007 that they would be parting ways with both Atlantic Records, and their longtime producer 9th Wonder, due to creative differences but in both cases, on amicable terms. Rapper Big Pooh was quoted as saying:
“ 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 ”
The group has indicated that Getback may now be released on the Atlantic-distributed Asylum Records to fulfill their deal with their former label.
