And another one! Yes i know i'm cheating but i have been away for a while and these blends are bloody superb! This time its the unmistakable voice of the real King of NY (BIGGIE!!!) and laid back smooth beats of The Foreign Exchange. Enjoy!

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!

oh wait, that was the big friendly giant!

I am really really loving this track. The Foreign Exchange stable have found another thoroughbred (in no way am I suggesting any comparisons with a horse). This LADY can sing! 2nd of October is the date to catch her debut album ‘Angels’. But in the meantime peep the first cut Sweet Love. Enjoy!

Jeanne Jolly – Sweet Love

more more more please Nic….

Can Nicolay do any wrong? What about one or two tracks from his Here, album I hear those that know utter. hmmm well that as may be but this EP tips its head superbly to the second of the City Lights releases. So if you want to get an idea of what your ears will be pleasured by if you make it to Nics tour (aided by the super talented Hot At Nights) Grab this now! This tour needs to reach London at some point! enjoy!

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.

pay Zo! a visit

Look at the list of artists assembled in the FE label. The all round talent on show is bloomin’ awesome. An example of which is this lovely EP from Zo! The talent i’m referring to is here for all to see (or rather hear). Enjoy!
