The Foreign Exchange at B.B. King’s Blues Club, 11/11/11
The Foreign Exchange could not have picked a better time to pull into B.B. King’s than last Friday. OK, maybe the showtime could have been better — 6:30 p.m. is way, way earlier than the Spin is usually out and about. But in terms of timing the show exactly when The Spin was going to need a damn fine R&B show, The Foreign Exchange couldn’t have done any better. While we usually avoid pop country at all costs, somehow we got roped into spending CMA week slobbing on the proverbial knobs of Music Row via some non-Scene-related freelance work. We felt dirty, we felt whorish, we had the most trite songs about flip-flops and Mexican beer stuck in our heads. It was awful. But one awesome set by The Foreign Exchange made everything all right.

MUSIC MUSE: INTERVIEW WITH THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE
In 2002, a music producer living in his native country of Holland linked (by way of OkayPlayer) with an underground MC based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Fast forward nearly 10 years and this duo, better known as The Foreign Exchange, have made their imprint on the music scene across the globe. The tale of how this Grammy-nominated group came to be, has become infamous within the music industry. Oddly enough, after three major album releases, mixtapes, music collaborations, and multiple concerts around the world, some people are just now getting around to catching the buzz of this hip-hop/jazz/house/R&B fusion super duo.
In this interview, the members of The Foreign Exchange, Nicolay (the Dutch music producer) and Phonte (the vocalist, MC and former member of the hip-hop group, Little Brother) share details about their music inspirations, a soon to be released solo project from one of the group members, and Phonte discusses his reunion with his former group mate, 9th Wonder.
