Today's topic: Foreign Exchange
Zoe, bemyfiasco, Ponte, & Nicolay. An R&B electronica hip-hop duo. I found out about them and their album of 2015 titled Tales From the Land of Milk and Honey.

Hello, I am Gail Nobles! Welcome to Lounge Hype. I'm going to talk to you today about the group Foriegn Exchange. The group was formed in 2002 after Nicolay based in the Netherlands and Phonte in North Carolina connected online through okayplayer.com and begin collaborating on music. Their album Connected was released in 2004 and was a showcase for Nicolay’s musical talents as well as an introduction to like-minded little brother affiliates who contributed to the album. The album received strong views and the single Sincere was released with a music video.

The group has several albums 2008 Leave It All Behind, 2010 Authenticity, 2013 Love In Flying Colors, 2015 Tales From the Land of Milk & Honey, 2017 Hide & Seek.

There was a single I enjoyed listening to from Tales From the Land of Milk and Honey album. The single is title Work It ToThe Top. Tales From the Land of Milk and Honey is the fifth studio album by The Foreign Exchange. NPR listed it as one of the top 10 slept-on R&B albums of 2015.
