when charity starts at home dropped last year, this was my favorite song off the record. the beat is unreal, and all three verses are ace. so how could this video be better than the song itself? easy – evidence couldn’t show up for the shoot, so phonte’s mom took over and lipsync’d the voice.
A+

phonte and 9th wonder are the latest guests on our friends show, the come up show. they discuss upcoming endeavors, among other things. what’s important here is that the footage was lost, but the editors did a great job of salvaging the audio and trying to make it work with what they had. check it out above.

one of the best songs from last year’s (overlooked) charity starts at home gets a music video. and doesn’t that 9th wonder production sound so good?

the little brother/foreign exchange front runner saw solo success last year with charity starts at home, which was quite good. to start of 2012, he drops a great video for “dance in the reign,” directed by kenneth price.

phonte and the roots?! not gonna listen to this much because i don’t wanna overplay anything, but upon first (and last, for now) listen, this is real, real good.

as if the lineup wasn’t enough, throw in 9th wonder behind the boards and you have a recipe for success. or you know, phonte’s new single from his upcoming record, charity stays at home. the album drops september 27th, which seems to be the release day for a lot of great albums.

for the record, i’ve never taken lil b seriously. this song changed my whole outlook on old dude. not only did he get two huge co-signs with this, but he also got hold of an ill 9th wonder beat?!
tip my hat, based god.

by now, you’ve probably heard the brand new record from the foreign exchange, authenticity. phonte and nicolay have put together a celebratory documentary amidst all the celebration and praise of the record, and it’s pretty awesome. this three part documentary clocks in at under 20 minutes, so it’s not TOO long, and it’s definitely a must-watch for any fan of the band.
parts II and III under the jump, and authenticity is in stores now.

decent video (3d, if i just happened to have goggles laying around), but phonte absolutely smacks the hook. rhymefest’s el che is in stores/digital retailers tomorrow.

i haven’t given leftback a proper listen, even though it hits stores tomorrow. in any case, a lack of 9th wonder has left a gaping hole in the group, even though it’s not like pooh and phonte forgot how to rap. here’s a trailer for an aptly titled track off the record, curtain call, which should be hitting the webs soon enough.
final album drops tomorrow.
-grizzly
as phonte and pooh gear up the release of leftback, their final record, it’s only natural that i miss the production of 9th wonder. however, this is a nice track produced by khrysis, so not too much crying here. leftback drops on 4.20.
