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 Exchange’s third album.

One of the best songs of all time. If you’ve been here, heard this, consider yourself one of the luckiest people on the planet. You’ve struck gold.

Nice! I am in the USAF, I have a year left before my 6 year enlistment is completed. I joined late, age 26 going on 27. I love traveling and definitely took this job as an experience and learning. Almost time to move forward to my next journey in job/career life. Thanks for sharing!

mike Lewis Unfortunately I didn’t have any music to listen to on my way to basic training. But I do remember that plane ride & bus ride. I’m late on The Foreign Exchange. But I’m glad you made it through basic Battle! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
