The Foreign Exchange LIVE @ CMJ Music Marathon, B.B. King, New York NY on Friday October 23, 2009.


The line at the world famous Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood stretched two blocks the night of Sunday, June 14. I've been to many shows at the Roxy in the past, but only once before, for a John Legend show, has the line been as long. To be honest, initially, I was annoyed...


Karine Theprésident

Nicolay calls in to the nationally syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show for a quick interview about The Foreign Exchange. We find out that Rickey is a big Foreign Exchange fan, who plays Leave It All Behind every evening and thinks every track on it is a HIT! Listen to the audio below.

Dominica I also heard your song, "I wanna Know" on the Rickey Smiley show while visiting in Alabama. Once I get back home to Houston, I'm going to start requesting to hear your songs. But you have to do me a favor; have a concert in Houston!!!






Jeanette iTunes just blessed me with playing "Take off the Blues" at the perfect time. Sooooooo when are you guys coming to THE BAY AREA!!!??? Im just asking.....
Neale at 3:33pm June 30
How crazy is that song and that whole album? I wish more people were up on it...


Felisha Anderson I heard Rickey Smiley mention your group on the radio this morning, so I had to google you guys and find out what the fuss was all about. I LOVE the sound you guys have and will make sure all my friends and family check you out. I am now on a search for the cd in Oklahoma. I hope you guys make it to Oklahoma City soon. Thanks for making GREAT music. Keep up the good work!


Jessica at 7:30pm July 1
I heard it on the show this morning to. That was a good look luv their music


It's a cliche to say, but in the case of Phonte, the North Carolina MC may just be your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. In a recent interview, Drake, the current "it" boy of hip hop, mentioned Phonte, as one of his favorite MCs. Period...
Gregg at 9:21am June 29
Also I had been feeling 4hero for years, especially the Play With The Changes album. Loved the track Give In. Did not realize until recently that it was Phonte rapping on the track.

Cyndi Cruise I first heard your music in Chicago in March 2009; I got your CD and it's been on repeat ever since. Hopefully, you will make your way to Texas (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston) so I can come see you - Love your music!!
