Paramanu Recordings Inc proudly presents the much anticipated release by the Hip-Hop Production team of Soul Journer (D.Cypha & Madness M.D.) with their debut LP Death To Sound Vol 1. These two talented brothers join forces, originally from Charlotte N.C. now both residing in TX, bring with them their own unique style of production talent. Spending most of their free time crate digging at local record shops searching for that one unique record to cut and sample from to later share what each other on how they 'flipped it'. Going the Foreign Exchange route just domestically for many [...]

Buddy James - Weighting (ft. Young L & Gilbere Forte) We love putting people on to great new music, but Jesse James' Truth Hurts, Truth Heals became something I sort of kept to myself, only sharing with close friends fortunate enough to get in my car or party at the crib. The mixtape was written, recorded, produced and mixed by the young California representer in under 2 weeks. Unlike anything I've heard in a long while, James truly has a gift for crafting original and catchy songs. Pay attention!! [...]
Another over-looked album that has recently been released is Phonte's Charity Starts At Home. The better half of Little Brother (post-9th Wonder), in my opinion kills it on this album. Go ahead and spend a reasonable $8 on this one. Here's the iTunes link. Enjoy. #NewTigallo #NewTigallo #NewTigallo #NewTigallo Phonte - Dance in the Reign (feat.

![Phonte - Not Here Anymore Ft. Elzhi (Prod. by 9th Wonder) [Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3680025_lg.jpg)
Kind of a late pass here, but this joint deserves all of the shine it can potentially get. Getting down to a standard soul-driven 9th Wonder beat, former Slum Village associate Elzhi provides a good complementary verse to a tried and true Phonte flow. Listen to the Charity Starts at Home track below and download here :

Zo! is a multi-instrumentalist / producer from Detroit who is on The Foreign Exchange Music label. His soulful hip-hop sound is a perfect match for that label, born out of the success of Phonte and Nicolay's original Foreign Exchange collaboration. Just Visiting Three is the latest installment in Zo!'s series of free eps in which he reworks cover songs with the help of a slew of progressive soul vocalists like Eric Roberson, Sy Smith,Nicholas Ryan Gant and more.

The Foreign Exchange - Dear Friends: An Evening With The Foreign Exchange FE+ Music: 2011 What began as a side project for Little Brother emcee Phonte has morphed into the focus of his music career. Phonte and Nicolay as The Foreign Exchange debuted seven years ago during a very short lived revival of Native Tongue-isms with their praised conscious lounge set Connected. Four years later FE alienated many of that fan base as they transformed into a full blown contemporary adult R&B act and gained a whole new audience. [...]
Most often, hip-hop covers bring to mind images of indie bands rapping something that could be found on one of those Now Thats What I Call Music compilations, with their tongue firmly in their cheek. Well, that's not quite the case here. For this Friday Five, I've gathered a collection of songs by hip-hop artists that are covers of non hip-hop songs, not just samples for production or rehashed for their hooks. It took a bit of digging, but I was able to find songs by the likes of Mos Def and Ol' Dirty Bastards [...]
(Click Album Art to Download) The FE Music group released another album, and like the others I was not left disappointed. This is also a live performance album and gives you the feel of being at Yoshi's Oakland while you listen to it. If you haven't been to a small venue like that, I suggest that you try to go. I was against it at one point, then had the chance to see Goapele live and it was amazing. Anyways, once Phonte starts talking on when the intro begins, you're in for a treat. [...]
