Alright Ladies and Gents. This is the last installment, loaded with great pieces of information. This episode starts off with a conversation with Nicolay regarding his possible pursuits of a Soul Survivor-esque and he delves deep into the "Valleys" one can run into if that album was attempted. Of course, we flip the tables on Phonte and ask him about a possible solo album with a dream team of producers. There is hope that both will eventually drop their own pieces like that. It's crazy because here we hear Phonte say that he's on a Premier track with Royce. WHAT. Speaking of Premier, we talk about him (it's me... why wouldn't we?) and his influence on Nic's production style. Gangstarr came into the discussion and so did Guru's most recent "Fastlane" track. Of course, Phonte and Nic both drop their thoughts on that record...it's pretty funny stuff.

This is the first in a series of random goodies that we will be periodically dropping off in your mailboxes. (Who loves ya, baby?)

We recorded this over a month ago specifically for a ?uestlove tribute party dedicated to The Purple One himself. Other than passing it off to a few DJ friends who vowed to keep it on some secret squirrel, "bet you aint up on THIS!" status, no one has ever heard it. In the wake of the incredible loss we suffered on June 25 however, this joint took on somewhat of a deeper meaning.

We decided to share it with our fans not only as a token of appreciation, but also as a way of paying respect to one of our last living musical geniuses.

Let's not wait until tragedy strikes before we show love and gratitude to our heroes, people. Give them their flowers while they live.

This one's for you, Mr. Nelson. You are loved and appreciated.

Enjoy!

One Love,
'Tay and Nic

Nicolay calls in to the nationally syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show for a quick interview about The Foreign Exchange. We find out that Rickey is a big Foreign Exchange fan, who plays Leave It All Behind every evening and thinks every track on it is a HIT! Listen to the audio below.

Once again, we are back with yet another one. With this heat rock, we dig in with one of KevinNottingham.com's most popular posts, Phonte's Top 15 Rap Performances [read here]. We get to dig in on my Phonte overdose for a bit and get to talk to P and Nic about what their favourite Phonte verses are and their opinions on the list. Moreover, we flip the switch and talk to Phonte about what his favourite Nicolay beats are and what Nic's personal favourites are. The best part of the interview comes when it gets noted that Phonte actually had his chance to take on various Nic beats that either ended up on another Nic album or other albums i.e. EMC's "What It Stands For." Phonte on that beat? Damn. Lastly, we talk briefly about Nicolay's creation of "Nautilus," [check out his recreation here] comparing it to the original, the creation of it, and their favourite use of that sample. Enjoy.
