From one Little Brother member to the other… Phonte & Nicolay (Foreign Exchange) recently performed at Revival in T-Dot (where I’ll be as of Thursday) and my partner in rhyme design caught some footage. One clip above and the rest is after the jump, including some Zo! & Tigallo shit!

I guess this is the beginning of LB’s hiatus huh?

Phonte, Nicolay, YahZarah, Zo! and Darien Brockington sit down with SoulBounce to talk shop about Twitter (yhuuck), The Foreign Exchange music, upcoming projects from the entire crew, what would happen if Barack Obama cut a record with Auto-Tune and why they would never do a reality television show. You already know the comedy that comes with Phonte speaking. So check it out! Also… hit the jump for some footage of Tigallo doing his 1 2 thing during a performance at the Winter Music Conference in Washington, DC.

Phonte and Nicolay alongside Zo!, Yahzarah and Darien Brockington rock the Sugarhill in Atlanta. Props to Senor Kaos.

So Phonte and Zo! had their first interview together last night in DC, and they talk about how they first got together and chose the songs they did among others, and Phonte talked about the upcoming Foreign Exchange album, Zo!’s solo projects, and Phonte’s latest collaborations (Count Bass D!). Props to Jamie.

It’s that time folks. Zo! & Tigallo Love the 80’s has been released, so be sure to cop that! Also, what you might not know is that there are 300 special autographed copies up for grabs as well so don’t slack and hurry up. Drop that moolah and you’ll get an autographed copy of Zo’s Freelance LP as well. You know Shake shows support…

Phonte just hit me with the artwork to him and Zo!’s upcoming project, Zo! & Tigallo Love the 80’s, dropping July 1st. Be sure to get on your game, because there will only be 2,500 copies pressed and that’s it. Hit the jump for the full version of the great’ness that is the cover ha…

PREVIOUS: Zo! & Tigallo Love the 80’s

No, there is nothing new on this post as far as music, but I felt it’s only right that I speak on this upcoming project from Detroit’s Zo! and Phonte (of Little Brother). Te recently spoke with DX about the project saying that it’s their way of paying homage to the stuff they grew up listening too. If you aren’t aware Zo! & Tigallo Love the 80’s! is a project that is chalk full of covers to 80’s R&B and pop songs. And to be honest, it’s one of my most anticipated albums of 2008. I had the honor to preview a few tracks during our chill time in MPLS and despite me not knowing a few of the originals (since I’m a real 80’s baby and was too young to remember) the music itself is amazing. Te also said they were very serious with everything, from the vocal side, to the production side, to the final mixing and mastering. And based off what I heard I can’t argue that at all! Be on the lookout for a new leak from the project sometime next week (most likely on the ever-so-dope Gordon Gartrell Radio podcast). Until then, enjoy the three tracks that have been released in the past.
