NEW MUSIC: Rapper Big Pooh - Medicine Man

Rapper Big Pooh, Phonte, and 9th Wonder are proof that going solo isn't such a bad idea.  All three former Little Brother members have been hard at work with their own projects, and have been providing me with consistent bangers.

Listen to Rapper Big Pooh's "Medicine Man" below, which is set to be released on the Dirty Pretty Things album both in stores and online on November 1st.
