Title: Foreign Exchange - Connected - Don't Sleep On This!
Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on September 04, 2004, 06:44:54 AM

Got this album yesterday, and it hasn't left my stereo since, it really is pure dopeness. It's basically a collaboration between Phonte of Little Brother and Nicolay, a dutch producer, which was recorded without the two of them ever meeting one another, by sending tracks back and forth on the internet. Listening to know you really wouldn't know this though because it is one of the most well crafted albums of the year easily, and the various guests that are featured along the way (Critically Acclaimed, Median, Oddisee, Sean Boog, Kenn Starr, Yahazarah, Darren Brockingham), add perfectly to the album without ever sounding out of place or ruining the flow of the project in general. Its already out in the US, and gets officially released here in the UK on Monday, so I would urge anyone who is a fan of Little Brother, dope hiphop, or even just music in general to pick this album up, because it will most definitely be money well spent.
