The career and catalogue of Little Brother — the North Carolina hip-hop group of Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh, and formerly 9th Wonder — will be explored in a forthcoming documentary.
On Twitter today, Phonte shared the first trailer for May the Lord Watch: The Little Brother Story, a forthcoming feature-length doc on the group from director Holland Randolph Gallagher and Blue Cup Productions that shares a title with the duo's fifth full-length album released in 2019.
The trailer for May the Lord Watch: The Little Brother Story features footage of the group onstage and in-studio, and also points to interviews with Phonte, Big Pooh and 9th Wonder.
Additionally, Questlove appears, calling Little Brother his "favourite rap group," while clips of Drake and Doja Cat indulging in their fandom are also included. The Canadian, who was asked about Little Brother in a 2010 interview with Nardwuar, offered, "to say I'm a Little Brother fan would be an understatement."
Find the first trailer for May the Lord Watch: The Little Brother Story below. The film is expected to arrive in 2023.
Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh revived Little Brother in 2019, with May the Lord Watch marking the group's first release since 2010 LP Leftback. 9th Wonder left Little Brother in 2007, and following a 2018 reunion performance in their native Durham, NC, agreed with his two groupmates that the project would continue as a duo.
