Phonte is definitely nice. I think it is a shame that even here in NC he really doesn't even get the love he deserves. I will admit that when little brother were at their peak, I liked them but really did not appreciate the great music they were dropping. I saw them perform at my college and really enjoyed it but there were not many people at the show. I did not even know until the last few years that Phonte was from my hometown. Having listen to more of his music in the past few years he is definitely one of my favorite rappers. All of his music from the Little Brother stuff to the Foreign exchange albums is all dope
