You can download after the jump.

The time has come. One of the most acclaimed hip-hop groups of the last decade, the North Carolina duo of Phonte and Big Pooh, better known as Little Brother, are set to release their fourth and final album. They’ve represented the essence of hip-hop with vivid lyrics and fantastic production, but they’ve also seen more than a fair share of ups and downs. Expectations are high for LeftBack and fans don’t want this to come to an end, but after this LB take off to focus on other endeavors.

for the jaw-dropping, envelope pushing “Window Seat” Video. “Group Think” is a really dope theme.

Erykah’s Nu Amerykah Part 2 : The Ankh looks like it will be just as mind blowing as the previous disc.

Then again cool videos don’t hurt either, and if your in LA, or NYC you may actually get to see a once in a lifetime show. {Thumbs up to Thundercatt who keeps his tumblr game up just like the bass. Get familiar.}

Seared Foie Gras With Quince & Cranberry features drops from Talib Kweli, Pac Div, Blu and Truck North, and beats from all the top chefs—Pharrell, Dilla, Kanye, 9th Wonder…
