Earshot Entertainment presents a night of some of the finest R&B, soul and progressive hip-hop with the hardest working band: the Grammy-nominated duo The Foreign Exchange along with Zo!, Sy Smith, Jeanne Jolly with live band, and DJs Platurn & B Bravo.
This promises to be one of the most-anticipated club performances of 2012, spotlighting cross-cultural global fusion and bringing rhythmic unity to a diverse audience, and is a must-attend event for fans of Eric Roberson, Little Dragon, Bilal, and the like.
Consisting of rapper/singer/songwriter Phonte and producer Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange came together via the online hip-hop community Okayplayer.com in 2002. After trading files through instant messenger for over a year, Nicolay (living in his native Holland at the time) and Phonte (a Raleigh, NC resident) completed their debut album Connected before they ever met each other in person and was praised by legendary DJ’s such as Jazzy Jeff, King Britt, and DJ Spinna for its inventive mix of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica.
