Flashback Friday: Little Brother and The Lost Boyz

Tired of listening to Tew Chaynz, Future and … ugh … Trinidad James? *shudder*

I’m here to rescue you from the Friday doldrums with a couple of forgotten hip-hop favorites. Cleanse your rap palate with these bangers.

Corey Peterson listens to 9th Wonder’s rap proteges.

Little Brother, The Listening (2003)

Corey said: “The Listening was our introduction to the now separated, then reconciled LB crew. It served as the primer for an entire decade of 9th Wonder and fruity loops. “Yo Yo” and “Speed” still remain amongst highlights of the group’s career and the latter was the catalyst that brought 9th Wonder to Jay-Z’s doorstep.”

“The Yo-Yo”
“The Way You Do It”

Remember a girl named Renee? Edward does.

The Lost Boyz, Legal Drug Money (1996)

Edd said: “A conversation with my man Corey above paved the way for this trip down memory lane. The LBs had an unbelievable run in ’96 through ’97 with their streetwise tales. Hype man Freaky Tah’s tragic murder in 1998 and Spigg Nice’s imprisonment for a rash of bank robberies derailed future success but when they were hot, they were hot.”
