Little Brother - The Minstrel Show: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition [2xLP]

Release Date: November 28, 2025
Label: Imagine Nation Music

Little Brother’s sophomore release delivered a solid follow-up to their debut, The Listening, and cemented the group’s standing as one of the most important hip-hop acts of the 2000s. The Minstrel Show was prominently featured in the hip-hop media of the era – with XXL giving the album an "XL" rating and Scratch calling it “a perfect 10 out of 10”. The Minstrel Show debuted at #56 on the Billboard Top 200. To celebrate the release’s 20th anniversary, the project has been remastered for vinyl from the original ADAT tapes by Chris Boerner at The Kitchen Mastering and is presented for RSD Black Friday with the original Young Guru mixes on a 180g pressing. Also included, an insert with unseen photos and information, a commemorative Obi strip and two bonus cuts, “Hold On” and “The Olio”, that were not included on previous vinyl issues. Track List: A1.
