by Joann Gomez, Music Looks Like This. Follow her on Twitter @MLLT.
The Foreign Exchange, the North Carolina based duo of Little Brother’s Phonte and Dutch producer Nicolay is steeped in legend. Meeting online via the hip-hop site Okayplayer, they exchanged beats and rhymes over the Internet, [...]

Jazzanova feat. Phonte – “Look What You’re Doin’ To Me”
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Phonte is putting his singing skills to work…first with Zo! and his 80s joint, then with the excellent new Foreign Exchange album, and now with a new track from German beatmakers Jazzanova, which highlights his finest vocal work to date.
The [...]
Hip-Hop Live tour featuring Talib Kweli, David Banner, Little Brother and B.O.B.
I touched on this a few weeks ago with their DC date, but I have some new information concerning the Hip-Hop Live tour featuring Talib, David Banner and Little Brother: The Rhythm Roots All Stars will back all of the acts on the bill for the entire tour. This has just been elevated to a [...]

I’ve been listening to this album sampler for a day now and I’m hooked. I will leave my final judgements for when the official copy slides my way, but so far, Leave It All Behind is making me excited for music [...]
Little Brother Splits From Atlantic, Parts Ways with 9th Wonder
Jazzy Jeff feat. Little Brother – Whatever You Want
Zo! feat Phonte – Africa (Toto rework)
So it’s official, Little Brother has severed its ties with Atlantic Records. Big Pooh told Hip-Hop Game that “at this time we are in the process of negotiating our release from the label due to a difference in philosophies.” I guess [...]
9th Wonder is Out of Little Brother?
Again, I might need a late pass on this. I’m workin’ my ass off here.
So the rumors are somewhat true. Little Brother isn’t “breaking up,” per se, but their most influential member might be out of the group. From ProHipHop:
[Phonte] Coleman says the beats they’ve received from longtime Little Brother member and Justus League co-founder [...]
As the Phonte Turns…
More Phonte drama. Man, the dude can’t catch a break. Now, Eternia (whom we’ve featured a couple times on this site), is all upset because Phonte called her Tit-ernia in a joking matter and sent her off the deep end.
According to her MySpace blog, after the “incident”, she ” I felt as small as…. as [...]

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]
ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
