by The Foreign Exchange: My boss mentioned that I get this album last week. I was trippin and waited until today to obtain this wonderful, magnificent creation! If you have never heard of this group, let me school you real quick. The hip-hop duo consists of a Dutch producer, Nicolay, and an American rapper, Phonte Coleman. Imagine you and someone else creating an album, but you have never met and the person lives on the other side of the world. The two guys never had a phone call nor did they meet face to face to create their first album, Connected; they communicated on Okayplayer and sent files over instant messages to create the album. That is CRAZY to me! Now, Nicolay lives in the States, but the sound is still unique and very different than mainstream. The sound consists of soulful, dance, electronica, house, hip-hop tracks with a touch of jazz. This sound is real different, but I haven’t met a person yet who heard the album and disliked it! I couldn’t decide which track to post, so I put the whole album
