The Chittlin’ Circuit Version 1.5 by Little Brother drops on June 7th and contains cuts featuring some of the hottest names in hip hop including Kanye West, Big Daddy Kane , Young Guru and Consequence.

It also inlcudes unreleased and hard-to-find tracks from the crew of 9th Wonder, Phonte, Big Pooh, and The Justus League.

The term "Chittlin Circuit" has been associated with blues and soul music for decades. The original Chitlin circuit was a string of music venues in the south that sold chitterlings and other soul dishes. Artists such as Jimi Hendrix , B.B. King, Solomon Burke, James Brown , and Jackie Wilson among others played the circuit venues.

The Chittlin Circuit Version 1.5 bridges the gap between Little Brother’s debut album The Listening and their forthcoming major label sophomore LP The
Minstrel Show.

Little Brother was featured as one of the Top Most Anticipated Artists of 2005 by XXL Magazine . The Durham, NC trio makes music that brilliantly splits the line between art and commercialism, all while maintaining their fun-loving hip hop purist stance.

The group members MC’s Phonte and Big Pooh, along with DJ/ producer 9th Wonder (Jay Z, Destiny’s Child), met in 1998 while attending North Carolina
Central University. After noticing that they shared some of the same musical tastes (The Roots, Led Zeppelin, Wes Montgomery), the fellas formed an instant friendship and vowed to help each other develop their careers.
