VIBE.com: 60 Rappers In 60 Days: Phonte

Posted by nicolay_music on June 29, 2009 at 2:00 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

Phonte was singing before your favorite rapper sang!
Article by Jozen Cummings for VIBE.com
It's a cliché 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.

For those who've followed Phonte Coleman since he burst onto the scene in 2003 with his partner-in-rhyme Big Pooh, and producer 9th Wonder, collectively forming Little Brother, Drizzy's pick came as no surprise. MC and critics alike have given props to Phonte's witty wordplay and Southern-tinged flow since Little Brother's debut, The Listening (ABB). But in 2004, Phonte switched things up and began to amass a new set of fans with The Foreign Exchange, a collaboration with producer Nicolay. Together the two released Connected (BBE, 2004) to critical acclaim. In 2008, they released their sophomore effort, Leave It All Behind (Hall of Justus/ Nicolay), which Phonte is currently promoting on a nationwide tour.

Phonte phoned in to VIBE to talk about how he juggles being a part of two groups, what it means to hear Drake's praises, and why everybody calls him to rap about relationships.

Phonte discusses Michael Jackson's legacy

Posted by nicolay_music on June 27, 2009 at 5:01 AM | 2 Comments | No TrackBacks

Phonte of The Foreign Exchange on WNCN/NBC.


The untimely death of pop superstar Michael Jackson has left a hole in the music community. It has devastated fans both young and old, and musicians from the rock world and way beyond.

The Foreign Exchange and Little Brother emcee Phonte Coleman cites Michael Jackson as the main reason why he is where he is, so Jackson's death has hit him on both an emotional and personal level.

"Being a young kid, being a music fan -- and growing up wanting to do music -- to see somebody like Michael Jackson on the screen and to see him on such a huge level; it was really inspiring for kids like me who had dreams of doing music themselves," Phonte said.

Despite his recent personal troubles and battles with the media, Michael Jackson's influence and legacy will forever live on in the music industry.

"He really pushed the boundaries artistically with his videos," Phonte said. "He really took it and made it an art form ... When he was doing his videos, he was having movie directors do his stuff -- he had John Landis who did 'Thriller,' he had Martin Scorsese who did 'Bad,' he had Spike Lee who did 'They Don't Care About Us' -- so he was really pushing that boundary and making a true art form as far as videos go."

Rest In Peace, Michael

Sean Deez of KevinNottingham.com sat down with Phonte and Nicolay for an interview a little before soundcheck for their sold-out show in Toronto (Part 3).
Article by Sean Deez for KevinNottingham.com
A very, VERY touchy subject: Sampling. What we do on KevinNottingham.com is compile samples from classic albums or even modern classics, and put all the old joints out there for people to enjoy. Frankly, the question is raised on many occasions: "is it right?" Everyone will have their two cents. Here, Nicolay and Phonte drop their opinions on the situation and what sites like a KevinNottingham.com or a HipHopIsRead.com do. While the challenge should be raised to "find it yourself," both artists seem to understand the meaning of what we are trying to do. Moreover, Phonte talks about a favourite sample of his, "Light My Fire" by the Free Design, and how a producer flipped the hell out of it. Nic further talks about using live instrumentation verses using a sample, and how a good sample really can't be ignored. Indeed, a very critical part in this series. What up Keezy!

BMUSE's latest I Did It For Hip Hop series takes him to Phonte, Nicolay and The Foreign Exchange crew as they performed at Hollywood's Amoeba Music on June 14, 2009.
Article by BMUSE for Always Hustle
My fifth installment of "I Did It For Hip Hop" had me waking up from a nap on Sunday afternoon because I remembered that Phonte and his group The Foreign Exchange were doing a free instore @ Amoeba Records in Hollywood. I have filmed countless shows at that record store and with TFE's new album "Leave It All behind" now out, I knew I could help them out with some promo shots and just enjoy a dope afternoon of music. I was not let down at all. Below you will find their entire mini set from that afternoon.

Off The Shelf #4: Moon Baker - Stay [prod. Nicolay] and more! | FREE DOWNLOADS

Posted by nicolay_music on June 23, 2009 at 6:07 PM | 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

This installment in our 'Off The Shelf' series will take us back in time some fifteen years...
Around 1995, I was playing bass in a Dutch P-Funk outfit called Groovin' Pict. It would be an understatement to say that I could write a book about the many adventures of this group and its various formations, but that is a different story altogether. Back then, one of our rival bands had a new female singer called Moon Baker, who was both gorgeous and incredibly talented, and after hearing and seeing her in action, we all knew that we had to get her to join our ranks. To our delight, we were eventually able to persuade her to come sing with us, and Moon and I ended up playing music together in different configurations of the group until around the year 2000.

Fast forward to 2004. Moon called me up one day and told me she was at long last going to start working on her solo debut, and she wanted me to be the album's main producer. Over the course of two years, we worked on and off on writing, arranging and recording her album, titled "ABC Of Romance". It was released in 2007 by Supertracks Records, and knowing that, the term 'Off The Shelf' should not be taken literally in this particular context. However, I think that the release was limited to The Netherlands, Germany and Japan, so I don't think you'll mind if I drop one of my favourite songs that we did together, "Stay". If you like this track, you can find the full Moon Baker album "ABC Of Romance" on iTunes, Amazon and CD Universe.

Not only is she a phenomenal singer, but Moon is an amazingly humble, down-to-earth and sweet person. In my opinion, she hasn't yet gotten the full recognition that she deserves. I'll continue to do whatever I can do on my end to change that. If you dig the music, make sure that you spread the word! As always, thank you for listening,

Nicolay

Article by Sean Deez for KevinNottingham.com
Ah, part 2 of the great series. One of my favourite moments of the whole shindig, where Phonte and Nic talk about the very interesting, romantic, and symbol-filled album covers of Connected and Leave It All Behind. A great part of the conversation comes with Phonte talking about one's interpretation of one of his joints, hilarious ish. The guys also talk about what they "left behind" (baggy jeans according to Nic!) and go in depth with each topic. I also ask Nic about his album name connections from (T)Here to Time:Line, etc, and why they have have this distancing connotation to them. Essentially, we get inside the head of the artist away from the actual music and more behind the context about the product they are putting out.

Article by Sean Deez for KevinNottingham.com
What you guys are about to experience is one hell of an interview. I've done my fair share of phone and email interviews, this is one I got to do in the most private and quiet of circumstances. Thanks to Aimee for setting this all up, she's a gem (representing Nicolay Music) and thanks to Phonte and Nic for contributing a good amount of their time to drop some great answers. Over the next few days we'll be dropping interview segments between myself (the brown dude talking), Keezy (the camera man), Phonte, and Nicolay. Thanks to Keezy for contributing his time and his camera for helping us out (big shouts to the Real Frequency!).

With that said, I'm super excited for all of this and for you guys to hear some of the juiciest of juicy details we have in store. An Elzhi, Phonte, Drake collaboration? Royce, Phonte, and Premier? What?! The meaning of the Leave It all Behind Cover and the origins of Connected? Phonte's favourite Nic beat and Nic's favourite Tay verse? So many great questions matched with equally interesting answers. So be on the lookout and stay tuned to KevinNottingham.com and the Real Frequency blog.

In part one, I ask the guys about the origins of the internet relationship and the uniqueness behind it compared to working in studio with another artist. Tay tells us about his musical endeavors and how Nic helped make those goals possible. I also venture into talks about blogs and the dudes let us know what they keep up on on the internet.

The Napster blog reviews The Foreign Exchange live at The Roxy

The Napster Blog reviews The Foreign Exchange (Phonte + Nicolay) with Yahzarah, Darien Brockington, Zo! & The ELs LIVE at The Roxy, Hollywood CA, June 14 2009.
Review by Napster R&B Staff for The Napster Blog
The line at the world famous Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood went down two blocks the night of Sunday, June 14th. I've been to at least ten shows at the Roxy in the past and only once for a John Legend show has the line extended down similar to what I saw on Sunday. To be honest, initially, I was annoyed. Maybe I'm just a snob, but I hate waiting in lines and while I knew that the Foreign Exchange would bring in an audience, I didn't think it would be like this. Nevermind the fact that this would mark FE's first performance in LA. Nevermind that their latest album Leave It All Behind was one of my favorite albums last year and was my candidate for Album of the Year when it came out. I hate waiting in line. HATE it. To my surprise the line moved quickly enough and by the time I got in, the room was almost full. And you could feel the energy and anticipation.

SoulBounce: Nicolay's 'Soulclap' Remix Is The Perfect Segue Into Summer

Posted by nicolay_music on June 12, 2009 at 2:24 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

SoulBounce reviews the latest installment in our 'Off The Shelf' series!
Review by Ro for SoulBounce
There's this great weekly* feature on SoulBounce fave Nicolay's website called Off The Shelf. In it he takes a song from his catalog and anoints the masses with it for free. As this Summer has been a slow-starter with weather that is certain to burst into super-hot sweatiness any day now, it's nice to take a pause and just bask in the betweeness. This remix of United Soul's (now U.City) "Soulclap" plays nicely amid the interim. It's smooth and warm with appearances by YahZarah and Phonte that swim along with Nicolay's fantastic production perfectly. It's unsurprising that though this remix is from 2005 it holds up today. Download your copy now at Nicolay Music.

*it's really a bi-weekly feature, but hopefully that doesn't make it any less great ;)

A summer full of music continues!
I am pretty sure that the fellas of United Soul (an R&B duo from Philadelphia that since changed their name to U.City) didn't end up using this remix, but I know they liked it, and so does my wife Aimee, who suggested it for the next installment of Off The Shelf. Just a smooth joint to cuddle up with your significant other to, done somewhere in '05. Shoutouts to U.City, Yahzarah and Phonte. Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Nicolay's cover of 'Nautilus' chosen as "Click hear" on Exclaim.ca

Posted by nicolay_music on June 1, 2009 at 10:56 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

More props for Nicolay's version of the Bob James classic!
Article by Del F. Cowie for Exclaim.ca
Along with James Brown's "Funky Drummer," Melvin Blisss's "Synthetic Substitution" and the Honeydrippers' "Impeach the President," "Nautilus" by Bob James qualifies as one of the most important and most sampled records in hip-hop history. James may be best known for "Angela," which became the theme song for the TV show Taxi, but many of his tracks have been cribbed for hip-hop tracks, with "Nautilus" turning up on Run DMC's "Beats to the Rhyme" and Ghostface Killah's "Daytona 500" among countless others.

Remaking "Nautilus" isn't a task that one would take on lightly, but Nicolay, the producer comprising one-half of eclectic soul outfit Foreign Exchange has just decided to let his version out of the vault for free downloading. Apparently, back in 2006, the Dutch-born producer was approached to work on a project called "Sampling Bob James: The Nautilus Project" and he delivered a total re-working of the track from scratch sans samples, for a project that has yet to see the light of day.

Off The Shelf #2: The Last Poets feat. Keith Murray 'Dakari' (Nicolay Remix) | FREE download

Posted by nicolay_music on May 26, 2009 at 4:05 PM | 11 Comments | No TrackBacks

Industry rule #4080: Record company people are shady (c) Q-Tip
Things don't always work out as you would hope, and the reasons why usually have little to do with music, and all the more with the people "behind the scenes", as the following example illustrates. Of course, not everyone in the music industry is a shark, but it certainly is my personal experience that the good people are exceptions that prove the rule.

At the end of 2004, I was contacted by a fairly well-known indie hip-hop label's A&R (Artist & Repertoire) director (who shall remain anonymous). The guy was working on a new project with legendary group The Last Poets, and he wanted to see if I could remix a song called "Dakari" track that also featured Keith Murray. The remix was intended for a 12" single to promote the album, and would potentially even be included on the album as they were not too thrilled about the beat that was used for the original track. Eager to expand both my range and my resume, I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to reach a new audience, and we came to an agreement that worked for all parties involved. I finished the remix in January of 2005.
