Although he's promoting Little Brother's final album LeftBack,
due out April 20, Phonte is hard at work on the yet-to-be-titled
Foreign Exchange release with Dutch producer Nicolay. "Daykeeper" from
The Foreign Exchange's sophomore album Leave It All Behind was recently up for a Grammy in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category."It feels really good to get that kind of recognition," says Phonte. "It lets you know that people are listening and that your peers are supporting what you do, so it's an honour."

In The Lab With The Foreign Exchange (via Unique74)
I recently had the chance to catch up with the Grammy Nominated THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE. The collective have been making waves in the music scene and are setting a tone for many more great albums to come.
