If you were at any of The Foreign Exchange’s live shows, you would recognize Silver Spring Maryland’s ZO! manning the keys on their breakout performance. We all know that Zo has been on his grind for a while, working with such acts as Kev Brown and Phonte (with that 80s project.)

But now it’s Zo’s time to shine. His mixtape, Just Visiting Too is downright amazing and reads like a who’s who of upcoming talent. From the first track, “Perfect Angel” with another DMV native Yahzarah to the last, the D Brock collabo, The Highways of My Life. The other track that will constantly be on repeat. As a producer Zo has crafted light and low key melodies, filled with light touches of piano, and fortunately does not overpower the talent on the mic. It’s a fitting introduction to this future producer and we will most certainly be hearing more from him in the future. (via SoulCulture UK)

    I must admit that I’ve slept on or underestimated Zo!’s musical prowess.

    The instrumentation and musicianship are incredible on this release. Even from a technical standpoint, the mixes are immaculate.

    Add to the mix passionate and well executed vocal performances and you’ve got some immediate rotation on the iPod.

    Big ups to FE Music – some of the only ones doing it like they care.

    Musically really solid, vocally just OK tthough o me. Giving me Minnie Ripperton-meets-4Hero vibes but blanded out somewhat overall….
