Phonte - Charity Starts At Home (Cover & Track List)

The Foreign Exchange front man, Phonte Coleman, gears up to drop his first ever solo album, Charity Starts At Home, on September 27th via +FE. No word yet whether it will be vocal, hip hop, or both. Also, no word on whether there will be features or not, but I can only imagine that he will have his +FE fam on the record... But any way you look at it, I'm super excited...

The Foreign Exchange - Daykeeper (Live)

So after thoroughly enjoying this Live album from Foreign Exchange, I decided that it was imperative that I share with you this incredible rendition of the group's Grammy nominated single, "Daykeeper." The switch up towards the end is one of the most amazing things Ive ever heard done live before, and they even pay tribute to Roy Hargrove. If I had more thumbs, I would give this joint 17 thumbs up. You can purchase the new CD/DVD Live set from The Foreign Exchange here, or download the music and full video from iTunes.

I feel like I've posted a handful of dope songs today, and also a few meh ones. So lets end on a high note... New EP from Foreign Exchange affiliate, Zo! He makes awesome, jazzy, soulful hip hop soundscapes, and his friends put words and melodies on them. And its amazing.

Classy Hoes: 30 Rock Edition

That wonderful tuckus belongs to the beautiful Katrina Bowden, aka 30 Rock's lovable Cerie.

And she wanted me to tell you to listen to more Foreign Exchange...

But in all seriousness, I was listening to The Foreign Exchange's new album Authenticity today, and I realized that my favorite songs from the past 2 albums, have both been their interlude-esque, 2-minute-long songs.

From Authenticity, here is Everything Must Go:


And from Leave It All Behind, here is Valediction:
