I discovered Spottie by Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. It is a cover of one of the songs by Outkast.
Can someone tell me what kind of brass instrument begins at 0:09 and makes this deep sound?

The group you are referring to is the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. They have a website and a Facebook page, and a Twitter account. Why not contact them and ask them?

They list a baritone horn and two trombones in the ensemble. But they also have a bass guitar. This bass line sounds like the baritone horn, perhaps with a trombone doubling the line.
