Durham, NC hip hop group Little Brother — aka Phonte, Big Pooh and 9th Wonder — reunited for the first time in a decade tonight (9/29) at Durham’s Art of Cool Festival. According to the official visitor Twitter account for Durham, they “found out about the possibility to reunite just a few hours before the show.” Big Pooh broke the news on Twitter shortly before their set. Questlove heard the news and wrote:
