  • Foreign Exchange is the best

  • My teacher plays this song everyday in the morning so inspirational I love being in 9th grade

  • @Darealis9thwonder your teacher is a boss haha

  • are any foreign exchange songs this epic, if there is recommend preaseee

  • @Monkeyman3000 can I recommend them all?

  • @Monkeyman3000 Sooo many of their songs are epic. They only made 3 albums. You can get all three for less than $50 on Amazon. Don't pass it up. 'The Foreign Exchange' and 'Pete Rock' are basically the only two Pandora stations I have listened to in the past 6 months. I am the biggest fan! Phonte and 9th Wonder are playing here in Chicago next Saturday and I am SOOO there.

  • I like to think of this song as a woman holding her man before he goes to work. Lol.

  • i lost a good friend a year ago. This song goes out to him. May he rest in peace.

  • people are sleeping on this song.

  • Don't know if this sounds ignorant, but are any of the guys from Foreign Exchange also in Little Brother? I always think they sound strikingly similar? Love love xxxx

  • @pooka1pooka2 Yes, Phonte is a part of both. Phonte along with Nicolay are The Foreign Exchange. Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh, (9th Wonder pre 2007) were Little Brother.

  • i dont care what you r in life what genre of music you like if you cant appreciate this go dig a hole

  • 7 people don't have a daykeeper!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @firedriver21 LMAO

  • I PLAY THIS SONG AT LEAST 20 TIMES A DAY #NO_LIE #EXTREMEHEAT

  • U GOTTA TURN THIS TUNE UP ALLLLLLL THA TIME AND I MEAN ALLL THA TIME LOL LOVE YOU DRAKE GWARN WID DI TING DEH x

  • I remember my flight taking off and I disobeyed the flight attendant by not cutting this song off. Nothing like flying through the clouds accompanied by harmonies like this...

  • Who won that year?

  • I love this song!!!!!!

  • Compared to connected it's like a completely different artist took the same name, I was EXPECTING hip hop from hip hop artists... when this album came out I WAS SO PISSED!!!!! A HUGE LETDOWN!

  • One of the best songs ever Made!

  • its still a GRAMMY

  • WOW !!!

    imma play this here like everyday NO LIE.

    BEAUTIFUL :) reminds me of old poems to the one you loved.

    there is no hope for forgotten love for if it was forgotten it was never there.

    real love though is the kind that stays drilled in your mind captivating your every thought NEVER leaving room to be forgotten. it is in your soul and in your heart it will NEVER leave your side.

    poetry by me MDH

    late night writing under candlelight while she sleeps beside me!

    Thanks, LIANECOP :)

  • beautiful. well said.

  • THATS r'n'b....and hiphop...jus lil bit!!!!

    What a beautiful track!!!

  • saw them in chicago at the double door

    great songs horrible live performance...

  • they should've definitely won..but deep down they're already winners in my book! such incredble music aritst!

  • Love it!!!!!!!!

  • I <3 this song. Muhsinah's voice is so beautiful

  • damn I love her voice its so hypnotic.....

  • I am so glad that these guys finally got the recognition they deserve with the Grammy Nomination, they truly deserve it. I am a huge fan of all of there work, I hope they win

  • are u serious they got a grammy nom. thats good  news for the future of hip hop

  • the only way that'll it will be good news for the future of hip hop is if they win it.

  • Phontes the man, Muhsinah is my favourite female vocalist ive heard in a long time and Nicolay is a Don on these beats.

    i get shivers everytime i hear it

  • i honestly havent replayed a song so much to the point that every 1 around me knows it by heart too, that grammy belongs to FE. love it love it love it

  • i love them. congrats on the grammy nom, i hope they win

  • And presenting to you, the Grammy Nominated song... Daykeeper by The Foreign Exchange. Congratulations guys!!!

  • @lpfan091989 the grammy's don't hold credibility in my opinion anymore

    not to say this track isn't a dope chilled song, I just think the awards don't mean anything

  • @JaysLit1 I know, I completely agree. There's always some mainstream star that wins awards even though they're not talented, I see it more as a popularity contest. But there are some artists that do get awards and are talented.

  • @lpfan091989 from what i see, good songs get nominated but never win, for example the roots

  • "take off the blues" was the first song i heard by them, and when i bought this album, i listened to it for 8 months straight...and i still haven't stopped loving the foreign exchange...that's the effect of great music

  • I totally lack words to describe they way i feel whenever i listen to this piece,it's way too tight congratulations to you all.keep up

  • thanks for sharing this..

    I am completely in love with this genre of music... thank you thank you 100 times

  • i just got hip to TFE, Im a instant fan.

  • DOPE!!!!!!! TOO DOPE

  • great song bruh

  • infan this is real cool, its funny hw the best music never gets mainstream. foreign exchange u proper rock!!

  • Ipfan, where did u find the F-E albums?

  • There's plenty of places to get them. It depends where you live and what format you want them in. If you want digital versions, iTunes and Amazonmp3 are some of the places you can get them.

    If you want the physical versions, you can order it online and I believe you get the instrumental along with the regular cd. If you want more information, let me know.

  • im in toronto, guess il have to use itunes. no stores carry the physicals

  • @lpfan091989 I want more info...for sure...I would like all their albums.

  • ish, you can get BOTH LP/Cds on amazon for under £20!!!

  • whos the male singer?

    and i hate it when it changes, jus sayin cos hueva made the video tipped that that was theyre favorite part

  • The singer is Phonte.

    I really like the change because the mood is different. I made the video, I could put whatever I want. Its ok, if you didn't like that part, its your opinion, and that was mine.

  • @LVipez Are u cereal? How could u not like when it changes. Its so smooth. So beautiful. Also, Phonte has got a great voice. Brotha can truly rap and sing EQUALLY well. None of that okay at 1 and better at the other shiz. Props

  • He tells me all he secrets he thinks nobody knows.We lay together in daylight i love him so.Muhsinah voice is beautiful.I lvoe this song can listen to it all day.

    Peace and Love

  • beautiful

  • almost brings a tear, it's so beautiful...

  • Man i dnt want to download this i actually want to pay for it, havent done that in a while, but i cant find a store in Melbourne Australia that sells it HELP PLEASE

  • iTunes!!!! I live in Bologna,Italy and found it there..

  • In the begininng all we had as a people was music...

    This is a return to our beginings... New music for the sons of Adam.

    Bless

  • :))

  • its so nice, i love it

  • Oh yes!

    Hip-hop Eternalist.

  • I was gonna download this album off the internet but after hearing this song, I need to purchase this with my own money. This is incredible and needs all the support it deserves.

  • lol oh by the way lol gorgeous track good lord i love music it makes me smile lol

  • The Foreign Exchange x Nujabes?

    Does Anyone Think That Would Be A Great Collabo?

  • amazing collabo! i love nujabes and fe.

  • indeed my good sir! i want LTJ BUKEM &MUSIQ SOULCHILD to collab

  • @JDILLADOOM once nicolay is off production then it ceases to be The Foreign Exchange, Nujabes was dope tho.

  • @JDILLADOOM It could never happen anymore :( we were lucky to get CLsmooth Nujabes collab!

  • @JDILLADOOM That would be a sick combination :D

  • @JDILLADOOM the beat to that hypothetical song would probably make me cry haha. the foreign exchange's beats probably make Nujabes smirk in heaven. RIP

  • Love it...real music for the soul. This is just a beautiful song. When I heard this song for the first time, it gave me chills and it still has that effect on me

  • Fanx so much for posting, amazing song xxxx

  • love the Foreign exchange!!!! This is music you can get lost in.love it love it love it! thanks for posting xxxxx

  • pure. melodic. beautiful. soulful. a great, new energy that soul music needed. keep 'em coming lpfan091989.

  • haha, thanks for the mention. and i'm glad that you have liked what i've posted. i posted them because i saw that a lot of the stuff that i had, was found on a channel on youtube. i wanted to fill in the gap.

  • buy the deluxe cd ..support this music..there u will find the insturmental

  • This is the jam right here, just so beautiful. And the lyrics are what keeps me chillin ont the song. Muhsinah is talented as well.

  • ya know ....flava..soul...thats music...

  • HA ! kanyes ass needs to be takin notes.

  • yea man i was just thinking the same shit. phonte is THE man no doubt.

  • There I was thinking hip hop is dead.This album made me walk around with my headphones like I used to.brilliant my soul has been fed.

  • fav tune right now

  • the video is weird (the official of course) but the song is raw!!!

  • dis shyt hea,going hard,and im really into music and kno my music,so yea im copping dis album in store

  • Yes! I'll be seeing them next week in ATL! Damn I cant wait! The Foreign Exchange, All Day Everyday!!!

  • I am very much into my music, producer etc. I am into all the new stuff and i would go as far to say this is the best song i have heard in the last 5 years atleast

  • Phonte is the fucking heat rock. One of the most talented cats in MUSIC...fuck hip hop.

    If yuo like Phonte check out his Zo adn Tigallo 80's project. Funny as hell and also well done covers of some 80's bangers.

    NC stand up!!

  • Damn this is some real stuff man. I need to cop this CD. Been on pause mode as far as hip hop cus I thought artist like this were turning into industry puppets but Im glad to have ran into this today.Can Ipan091989 or anybody else that knows school me to some more hip hop artist like this? thanks guys...Respect!

  • yeah, sure i greatly appreciate the comment, and i would like to add that you can listen to other great artists like the Foreign Exchange on my channel. my channel is full of great music.

  • Im subbin!

  • haha thanks i appreciate it.

  • i love this song.

    i don't like the video.

  • whos singin the male part nicolay or phonte?

    still figour out

  • its phonte and muhsinah

  • I'm sorry.. i overreacted haha.. Yo, but seriously.. Tay couldn't have spit more than 16 bars through the whole album? I hope this grows on me, but you can't substitute Phontigga rhymes with this John Legend stuff

  • you know that he's not using that auto-tone crap like kanye west. i heard kanye west without the auto-tone. he sucked but even with it, its not great. i got nothing against him but there's nothing better than real singing. and besides, te has a great voice. i was like you, the album grew on me. maybe not the best, but it is a great album.

  • Umm in case you haven't heard, Phonte BEEN singing. Dude sang on all of LB's album, and on Foreign Exchange's first album. Plus he has a good voice anyway, let the man express himself how he wants. Ain't like he gon stop rhymin period.

  • he wasn't singing on the first album it was darien brockington.

  • this is some awesome music, my friend just hipped me to it....i need this cd!!!!

  • yes you do. i think its a great cd. i bought the day it came out and uploaded it as soon as i got it. i just want people to support good music. but thanks for the comment and check out my other videos.

  • I think about this song everyday at work...and everywhere else I may journey...it has a life's journey kind of feel...can't even describe the feeling I feel when hearing this song. When and where I can purchase this c.d.?

  • Played 73 times on my itunes alone and i just added it on 22/11/08!!!!

    Love it!

  • i've been listening to this non-stop! still waiting for the cd to come in the mail lol classic song!

  • Im embarrassed and yet proud to say that I've probably listened to this song about 20 times in the last 12 hours. This is FIRE!!!

  • this album is...another classic...you're the reason i DO NOT listen to the radio. I don't have to cuz i have phontiggao and nicolay to make me love music again...i was dissapointed at first cuz it was not what i expected...i was waiting for phonte to start spittin and to hear skutter on the album...this is the epitome of R&B. It's a good look...so good I purchased it...and you know ppl don't do that anymore. love it, want more of it! so keep it comin.

  • i'm glad that people have enjoyed this album, and that is why, we need to support good music. thanks for the comment, remember to check out my other videos.

  • I love this album!! It is so lyrical and melodic where I have been lost within the cords and have played it on repeat for several days now. My sister introduced me to you (your album) and I am very glad weve met. Thanks for the opportunity to have that experience with music that was a journey into myself designed with your creative genius.

    Peace, love and happiness to you!

  • It's hard to listen to music with closed ears. Word to the wise. Lovin this track.

  • wonderful, what a fucking hot beat, i love it!

    nicolay you are the man! much respect from germany!

  • This album leans more towards neo-soul, while the first album was mostly Hip-Hop. Still, I like it a lot.

  • the album is classic

  • Dope track!

  • Lovely song. Makes me feel nice and happy when the weather is turning shitty.

  • Great Great album...If you guys wanna chill and relax to some good music, this is the album to do it too...Nicolay and Phonte are the ultimate duo...Foreign Exchange all the way...

  • ekstra wokal, super rytm, jednym slowem piekna piosenka:)

  • its an R&B ablum....?

  • Flat out,the best album i've heard all year

  • daykeeper>>>>love lockdown

    this reminds me of something zero 7 would do. very ill

  • phonte's been singing

    very well too

  • this is so fresh, cant wait for the album!

  • yes it really is...a totally new sound for me. very nice.

  • yeah, it doesn't disappoint, in my opinion. its still good.

  • This is a GROOVE.

  • I've never heard of this band before but this is sick!!! Big ups to Muhsinah!!!

  • yes, you've got a lot of listening to do. lol. check out my channel for the videos for the first The Foreign Exchange cd Connected. thanks for the comment.

  • PEOPLE!!! if you want a seek peek to the entire album check out my latest video.

  • Even though i am a big fan of phonte rapping, im hoping he will sing through the whole album.

    I cant stop listening to this song either, it kinda has a darker feel than any other foreign exchange songs ive heard. Im lovin the direction these guys goin with this album

  • yeah i agree, and i think it was good that this isn't a Connected 2, i like that they went somewhere else. it makes their music more diverse.

  • Oh, he sings throughout 95 percent of the album. He raps on like....one song...and that is just a rap inclusion. This album is really beautiful to behold. IMO.....because my opinion is humble. LOL.

  • I can't wait for this album to come out, i'd been listening to daykeeper constantly the past few days! Muhsinahs voice is so great, and there's just a vibe to the track, it's so smooth!

  • PEOPLE!!! Most likely on Oct. 7th, I will post the songs on my channel. If not Oct. 7th then Oct. 8th so if you want to hear the album before your cd arrives, then check out my channel by that time. Subscribe if you want.

  • I had never heard of this group and it was sent to me by a good friend and I can say that I like it. It is nicely produced. There is emotion in the vocals. I never heard him mc so I cannot miss it. I do know that I love the sound, neo contem soul. HOTNESS!! I think they should keep doing whatever it is they are doing cause this song is HOT.

  • yeah, man you're missing a lot. i heard about nicolay, the producer, of the group from a sample cd i got from the auto show in chicago. after i heard him, the rest is history. you gotta check out my other videos. you'll enjoy them. thanks for the comment.

  • i can dig it! I guess phonte is tryna be different or trying to change the game! However, te does have a good voice but he should stick to rapping cuz he's a lil ill on the emceeing more than a singer. But im not knockin his swagger!

  • he still raps too ...diverse. ...we need that in hiphop

  • otha worldly....outstanding!!!!

  • Is there going to be ne emceeing on the album cause from what I am hearing its just him singing which is coo but I liked them more for there emcee/producer combination.

  • yeah, man, thats what i've been hearing too. i agree. i would like to see him do rapping rather than singing because that was why they had guests featured like d-brock. i mean for the most part i don't mind because 'te actually has a good voice. if you heard the leave it all behind sampler, you'll hear some high pitch notes, he doesn't sound that bad but i still want him to be rapping, besides thats what he's known for.

  • he sure sings better than Kanye West does on love lockdown, but what is with rappers suddenly they all gotta sing, first Snoop on sexual eruption (dope song though), then lil wayne, kanye and now phonte!

  • Phonte been singing since LB's The Listening back in '03...

  • DOPE!!! NUFF SAID!!!!!! 1

  • To say that this song is incredible is a damn UNDERSTATEMENT! I saw Nicolay last night at Djangos here in Atlanta. He is so down to earth; and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the cuts from the Connected album and the songs I hadn't heard before until last night. I'll be getting this CD as an early b-day gift for myself. ^_^

  • Tey and Nicolay the god damn truth. Those three album teasers that are out there on youtube....and now this full joint here...dogg, you fucking with my head right now my nigga. Oct 7 couldnt get here quicker...god bless both these brothers for they talent...kuz real music touching lives and helping niggas like myself maintain they sanity in that traffic jam we call life...yall stay up.

  • For some reason, I miss Phonte rapping on this, I like Phonte better as a rapper though he shows his versatility but there is something about a Phonte verse. Esp. his last verse on 'Not Enough' This is the 2nd most eagerly awaited album behind the Nas album(best in the last few years).

  • Fantastic. I cannot wait for this album.

  • I just can't stop listening to this song.. Somehow the music and the harmonies caught me, and they won't let me go.. I love it. Much love to my girl Muhsinah.

    xo

  • lol, i have this disease called "nicolayitis" where i can't stop listening to nicolay stuff. and i just can't stop playing this song. remember that you can download this song at the link that i provided. check out my other videos, when you can. thanks for the comment.

  • lmao. Just realized I have the same disease.

  • can't wait to leave it all behind...

    tey and nicolay, real music.. repect.

  • this is nice! wow!

  • i see that you finally watched it, man i spoke to nicolay through myspace. my dad has an account on amazon, nicolay said to me that amazon mp3 has been confirmed so i'm getting it digitally. it will be available digitally on oct. 7, and street release on oct. 14.

  • absolutely lovely. i like the videos they have been making as promotion for the album too

  • Ok, so I've been playing this joint all morning and have no intentions of stopping anytime soon. This album is gonna go down in history as a classic...

  • haha, thanks for the comment. i feel the exact same way. i already added it to my ipod and its got plenty of hits already. its the only song that i have been playing right now. remember that you can download the song, look at the video info.

  • I agree. I decided that within 1 minute of listening to it for the first time

  • can't wait for the new album, Foreign Exchange is the truth!!!
