The duo is re-releasing it in retail form with 16 full-length songs, omitting much of Mick Boogie's superfluous cascade of DJ punch-ins, shout-outs and drops.
Getback is largely a personal reflection on the past year's events, which also includes the duo's parting ways with producer 9th Wonder.
At the heart of the album is conflict -- the thin line between consumer and critic, hip-hop's soul vs. hip-hop sold -- and Little Brother isn't immune to the syndrome.
Little Brother did the unthinkable with last year's The Minstrel Show, maintaining their initial crop of fans while providing young hooligans with an alternative to fantasy thuggery and oversized Fruit of the Looms.
Little Brother and the Justus League, a hip-hop movement from Raleigh and Durham, N.C., is redefining Southern hip-hop on its own terms.
