Foreign Exchange

Well if you know anything about me, you know that I am a huge fan of the hip hop group Little Brother. Little Brother has been dropping underground gems on the industry since 2002. The group is comprised of Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh, and producer The 9th Wonder (currently is no longer working with the group). It just so happens that in between their two classic albums, The Listening and The Minstrel Show, Phonte dropped an album called Connected under the name Foreign Exchange.


Phonte linked up with a producer from the Netherlands, Nicolay, through the Okay Player message boards. The two sent beats and verses back and forth to each other and created the album without ever meeting. Wild stuff right there. The CD consists of very smooth, soulful beats by Nicolay, and typical LB lyrics by Phonte. This album can put you in a relaxing mood that not many other hip hop cd's can. I recommend a listen to all three.




Keep listening,
