When I was a depressed kid 21 or so I discovered this song and became a phonte fan. It's been almost 20 years and this is one of my all time favorite songs.
Hi. 25 yr old San Fran white boy here... Foreign Exchange has hit like nothing else these last few years. FE community please accept me!! Love this vibe.
Phonte ain't no Whitney Houston or Gerald Levert or Will Downing but man I tell you the truth when I say that what he has to say and the way he goes about doing it fits my taste perfectly!
Saw them in concert the other night and when I tell you they KILLED this right here...shit, they did that! Enjoyed myself. They are so great live! If they come anywhere near ya- GO TO THE SHOW!
It really pisses me off that there is REAL MUSIC out here but corporate dictates what forms of "creativity" we hear. This is beautiful and deserves to be seen on a mass level.
This is excellent music! This instrumental is used so many times on the background of dj in Atlanta radio stations when they are talking about the topics of the day.

damn Phonte and Nicolay together create masterpieces.i'm in love with all of their great music.especially with this one..i could have it on repeat all day..
Just goes to show good music is timeless...just discovered this the vibe is right, the vocals are silky smooth, the beat resinates with you the bass line and that horn break down..def on repeat.Perfect riding music, that Sunday morning in the kitchen and vibing music.
This is the song and video that turned me on to The Foreign Exchange...saw it on VH-1Soul when they had Sub-Soul and played videos from independent and neo artists...this is an absolute jammmmmmm!!! They don't get any credit for their music...
The song is very smooth song with a lot of warmth mellow. I have to give those guys a lot of credit for releasing the song on The Tom Joyner Morning Show and on urban adult radio. In my opinion, The song is a pretty good steppers groove that's made for the steppers and for the grown folks respectively. Maybe someday, I hope you guys can try to release your forthcoming new single for 2016 and a new CD album soon. Much continued success on releasing your forthcoming new hit single for the new year. :-)
thank you...for all the beautiful mind, heart, soul and spirit gifts you've given. gifts for those times when my heart was falling deep hard and fast in to love. and especially times love slipping away had me feeling like i was falling hard fast and deep. i appreciate you always..thank you
THIS IS MUSICAL EXCELLENCE SALUTE TO REAL R&B MUSIC FOR THE SOUL, & FOR THE THUMBS DOWN CLOWNS FEEL FREE TO SLAP THE SHIGIDY OUTTA YOURSELF TWICE!!!!!!!!
Facts Apple Music played this for me cause I’m always listening to Little Brother. I never checked out Phonte or Big Pooh’s side projects. I have with 9th Wonder. This is in the same vein as the groove they had when Little Brother started. New music can’t touch this.
This song was a saving grace when i was in Iraq and i still play it over and over again, even today in 2024.
When I was a depressed kid 21 or so I discovered this song and became a phonte fan. It's been almost 20 years and this is one of my all time favorite songs.
@@thegreenroom5820I’m currently a 21 year old kinda sorta depressed kid. This song might make it on my all time favorite list
Little brother was my ish when I was deployed back in 03. I feel you guy. USS SAIPAN LHA2💪
Phonte 4 president just saying

To anybody out there still listening and struggling in 2024...It's get better!!! Don't give up. Don't give in.❤❤❤
Thank you on behalf of everyone. Much appreciated ❤
There is no other race can produce soulful music like Nubian culture.
