Phonte from Little Brother/Foreign Exchange took some time to upload some unreleased gems on his Twitter/SwiftFM. From early Little Brother tracks to the Slum Village“Further” demo. Some of it is just unfinished stuff and not that great, but a nice way to see Phonte’s progression in the last 5 years. The track that stands out most is Kaidi Tatham‘s remix of Total Science’s “Wasting Time” featuring Darien Brockington. Enjoy…Photo: Tobias/Kompleks

One of the most anticipated albums for this fall has to be The Foreign Exchange their “Authenticity” album. I’ve just listened to it and in my opinion it is a worthy follow up album after having been nominated for a grammy last year. Yes it’s a bit more accessible, but honestly FE has stayed true to themselves and it’s simply a beautiful album. Of course we find guest appearances from longtime contributors YahZarah, Darien Brockington, Zo! and Median. On “Make Me A Fool” we hear Jesse Boykins III , who in my opinion is one of the most talented vocalists on this album. In only a few days “Authenticity” hits the stores, so act accordingly and BUY the album through the FE website or ..
