The Foreign Exchange came together via the online hip-hop community Okayplayer.com in 2002. After trading files through Instant Messenger for over a year, Nicolay (living in his native Holland at the time) and Phonte (a Raleigh, NC resident) completed their debut album before they ever met each other in person. The album, Connected, was released in 2004 to positive reviews, and was praised by legendary DJ's such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, King Britt, and DJ Spinna for its inventive mix of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica.
Their sophomore album, Leave It All Behind (2008) found The Foreign Exchange much closer in geography (Nicolay becoming a resident of Wilmington, NC), but located much further from their hip-hop origins. On the strength of their exhilarating live show and several nationally programmed music videos, Leave It All Behind became the group's most successful album to date, culminating in a Grammy-nomination for the album's first single, Daykeeper.
Authenticity, released on October 12, 2010 on +FE Music, is The Foreign Exchangeβs third album.

This whole album has aged beautifully. The tracks still take me to that peaceful place where all feels (briefly) right in this cold world. Love from London ππ½π―ππΎ

This is one of the tightest songs I've heard in a very very long time.

I gave up on hip hop a long time ago...and after a while i found it again. I'm still a metal head, but im glad i rediscovered REAL hip hop. This beat is so peaceful.

This song never gets old. 2019, many years later and am still listening and loving this song like it's brand new.
