 New Definition of Classic
Submitted on: 2009-06-23 |

I recently stumbled across this album literally 3 weeks ago. I am a huge fan of Little Brother which comprises of emcee's Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh as well as super producer 9th Wonder. The feel good type of music is the kind of s*** I'm into, and I really love people that can deliver sick meaningful lyrics while complementing soulfull beats. Foreign Exchange is a very good example of this, It is a Hip Hop duo made up of Little Brother Member Phonte and producer Nicolay from the Netherlands who never really met face to face with each other before but were able to make classic records together.
The thought of making an album with very little physical labor with each other is truly amazing. The thing is that Nicolay would create a beat, send it to Phonte in America and he would write and record the vocals for the beat and send it back to Nicolay to master the track and therefore making an ill final track. The thought of it all seems a little unorthodox, but it works. I'm am very fortunate to actually find this album, its not very common in most record stores, but regardless it is a very worth while album that is very welcomed to anybody's music collection. |

| Pandora hipped me to the Foreign Exchange. My channel played Come Around and I was hooked. Just ordered the CD on line. Now that I have heard more I am waaay in. Lyricist, vocalist and a beat master. Hip Hop elite. I'm lovin' it. Wanna be rappers and studio singers- be afraid, be very afraid. |

Vintage Classic Review: Nicolay and Phonte will have you connected to this album!

Phonte's first solo project finds him hooking up with producer Nicolay to give you a soulful side of the LB lyrisist. In this album you find that Nicolay's production has dramatically stepped up from his instrumental project "City Lights Vol 1". Though Phonte toned his aggresive flow down a notch, his delivery match pretty well with Nicolay's production and the result, another classic from Justus League's finest! This was great album all the way around, even the album cover itself is one of the most grabbing in recent memory. "Von Sees" introduces the album on a mellow whirlwind sounds and heavy drums followed by the most aggressive and biggest highlights of the album "Raw Life" featuring Joe Scudda provides rough lyrics and the most ultrasounding production you immediately become hook.
There are also solid highlights like "Brave New World", "Be Allright" , and wickedly produced "All that You Are" keeps the album consistent with conscious flow and just songs you can just lay back and groove to. Now this album would have been complete with out help from Phonte's LB counterpart Big Pooh, who gives us solid performances on "Let's Move", "Nic's Groove", and one of the best songs on the album "Happiness" which have the duo rapping about pleasing their fans by giving them that good music for the world to hear, this album is a gem! There's really no flaws in this album you will not be at all disappointed by this wonderfully produced and written classic!!
5 stars. Put this album in your deck and stay connected!! |

| I just happened to be listening to Pandora when Come Around came on and I had to know who this was. Once I heard samples of the CD, I had to get it. This is some serious music right here, nice and smooth, driving up LSD (that's Lake Shore Drive, Chicago) music. I hope there is more to come! |

BOTTOM LINE:
This is hiphop production on another level. Nicolay weaves so many levels of music - it is a feast for the ears. Not only dope beats and dope rhymes, -ALSO- incredible blends and amazing vocals. This is beautiful.
A+. Buy it now! |
