Mark your calendars because April 20th will be the final release for the ill duo from North Carolina.  Although we will most likely hear more from the likes of Phonte and Big Pooh as they continue to focus on their solo efforts, will a final album minus the great 9th Wonder measure up to the chemistry of past projects?  In 2003, LB set the bar high with their debut “The Listening” and followed in stride with “The Minstrel Show” in 2005.  They emerged as relief in an era where most southern hip hop was characterized by crunk TR-808′s and shiny grills, showing that mic skills over ill beats are what spark the soul.  “Leftback” will be another great contribution by the Durham duo with Khrysis handling most of the production duties.  Peep the album sampler…LB rock on!!
