Foreign Exchange is a Neo-Soul/Hip-Hop duo consisting of American rapper Phonte Coleman (of Little Brother) and Dutch producer Nicolay. The pair first made contact over message boards on Okayplayer.com and began recording and sending music back and forth. Soon after, Phonte and Nicolay formed the Foreign Exchange without having ever met each other in person.
The album, Connected, was released in 2004 and was a showcase for Nicolay’s musical talents as well as an introduction to like-minded Little Brother affiliates who guested on the album. The album received strong reviews and the single, “Sincere” featuring Yahzarah, was released with a promo video.
An instrumental version of Connected is also available. |
