I’ve been meeting cats in the industry for a decade now and I don’t think there’s anyone funnier than the homey Phonte. His 90’s reggae impression is on poooooooint.
Strictly for the grown and sexy…
I still love that Zo! officially spells his name with an exclamation point at the end. The Audacity! of dope.
Here’s a dope new EP from Zo!, covering some classic songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Prince, Bobby Caldwell, Quincy Jones, the Isley Brothers, and more. Zo! (I always like including the exclamation point in his name) is insanely talented by himself, and when you bring in Phonte, Darien Brockington, Carlitta Durand, Sy Smith, and Yahzarah, you already know how it’s going to turn out. Enjoy some more grown folks music, perfect for this rainy Saturday night…
Really feeling the the two tracks I’ve heard from Yoshi so far…here’s a video my man Gerard directed featuring Buff1 and D-Brock. Real smooth.
Wow. An excellent video from Phonte, Nicolay, Muhsinah, and Matt Koza for an excellent song off FE’s Leave It All Behind opus. I hope you younger cats are feeling Foreign Exchange, cause their music is so necessary for when you’re feeling grown like I do these days.
Seattle people: Phonte, Nicolay, Yahzarah, Carlitta Durand, Darien Brockington, and Zo! will be performing at Nectar on September 15th and it’s sure to be an incredible show. Even the opener, The Physics, will be great, so everyone 21+ needs to be there. We’ll be giving away tickets each week on Sound Session leading up to the show and we’ll also be holding a contest here on TAOD to sit in on our interview with them. Stay tuned and make sure to be there! More info right here.
Just when I’m all caught up in the Drake buzz and can’t stop listening to So Far Gone, the “Take Off The Blues” video drops and I’m reminded there’s another dope MC with some excellent singing chops. Phonte, Nicolay, and D-Brock linked up with Matt Koza for this clip, which shows the ups and downs of a relationship by starting with those harmless glances across the room and ending with visuals for “Valediction.” Two of my favorite tracks off Leave It All Behind? You can’t go wrong.
