“STOP” is the first deep cut from the forthcoming Words Paint Pictures album from Rapper Big Pooh of the mighty Little Brother crew out of North Carolina. I don’t care if they haven’t made music as a collective in a while, they are still LB to me. So while they figure out their music group future, all three members are on the pursuit to make the best tunes to enlighten and engage your mind. Up first for 2015 is Rapper Big Pooh who has announced his signing to the most slept on, quality producing hip-hop label out, Mellow Music Group. Connecting with Detroit beat master, Apollo Brown for the 9 song project, Pooh floats on AB’s tracks, which set the sonic stage for Pooh’s theme of politically and socially conscience lyrics on the plight of the young black male. “STOP” in particular addresses the climate that Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown had to endure in their lives and through their passing. Powerful work. Take a listen and go to iTunes to preorder the album dropping on March 24th.
