quality over quantity: the foreign edition

Is it funny that when certain other MC/crooners dare to show their emotion through song I can't get over how bad they sound yet when Phonte Coleman does the same over beats laid down by the marvelously talented best Dutch export since Denis Bergkamp, I proclaim the results Beautiful Music and proceed to go into detail as to why? Call it professional bias, call it the fact that I think the MC/crooner in question fell off (or in some respects was never really on), or simply call it impeccable taste, The Foreign Exchange never disappoint... apart from the really cheesy album title!

Phonte – Not Here Anymore feat. Elzhi

alternative tidings

Well well well. Somebody somewhere with a bit of clout obviously know great music when they hear it. Via Daykeeper, Phonte & Nicolay have been nominated for a Grammy. Congrats lads & good luck on the night. One thing this nomination will definitely do is to shine a much brighter light on these guys and those who accompany them. Should be interesting to see how that goes.
