One of my favorite hip hop outfits is The Foreign Exchange. Little Brother is one half of this project and the other half is Nicolay. The producer from the Netherlands consistently produces tight beats and his sampling skills are spot on. His beats were some of the first to convince me that I loved hip hop and I’m thankful for it.

I’ve got some mad Nicolay tracks to share with you today. One is a solo track from his City Lights album, one is an instrumental from The Foreign Exchange, and the other sampler is a track from his collab. with Kay Jackson of The Foundation. The new album is called TIME:LINE and it’ll be dropping on February 1st. I really can’t get enough of this sampler and I’m sure you’ll feel the same after a few samples. It’s really good.
