Little Brother formed in Durham, NC at North Carolina Central University in 1998. The group began as a trio, featuring members Phonte (Phonte Coleman), Big Pooh (Thomas Jones), and producer 9th Wonder (Pat Douthit). They are founding members of the North Carolina hip-hop collective called The Justus League, under the umbrella music group The Hall of Justus. Their official debut came in August 2001 with their first recording, ???Speed;??? the song talks about making it big in the music business while still dealing with the troubles and hardships of life and holding down a full-time job.
