Leave It All Behind

Latest Price: $9.46

Buy MP3 Album

Decades Active: 2000s

Representative of how the Internet can aid in creating music, the Foreign Exchange started when Little Brother rapper Phonte heard a beat on Okayplayer.com by Dutch producer Nicolay and asked if he could lay some vocals over it. Nicolay agreed, and the song "Light It Up" appeared shortly after as the B-side to "Whatever You Say" off Little Brother's 2003 album, The Listening. Relying mainly on Instant Messenger and email, the duo continued to work together, with Nicolay sending beats to Phonte, who would add vocals and send them back until they had enough tracks together to form an album. Not once during the entire process of making their debut, Connected, which came out in 2004, did the members of the Foreign Exchange speak over the phone or in person. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

“All Or Nothing/Coming Home To You” on Leave It All Behind by The Foreign Exchange

“Foreign Exchange goes RnB! Phonte sings thru the whole record, but don't be afraid - he's not a bad singer! The intro alone on this cut is classic... Nice to have an rnb record that deals with real relationship stuff, not soap opera nonsense or maudlin themes...”

“All Or Nothing/Coming Home To You” on Leave It All Behind by The Foreign Exchange

“I bought this song because love how the lyric is so absolutely spot on about a very common disagreement in relationships. The off snare is a really funky sound. Vocals are hot.. this is just a great song. Every guy needs to buy this song and play it for their girl when there's a lil spat!”
