We are re-airing one of our all-time favorite episodes. It's our discussion with Phonte about Intro's self-titled album from way back in 2017.

This week rapper, producer, and songwriter Phonte (Foreign Exchange, Little Brother) joins Oliver and Morgan to talk about R&B group Intro’s 1993 self-titled debut album. The release was part of the changing tide of R&B music, when slow jams were giving way to more uptempo hits and singers were exchanging suits for Timbs and jeans.

Phonte shares about what Intro’s brand of new jack swing meant to him as a teenager learning about life in Greensboro, North Carolina. Don’t get him wrong: he was a hardcore hip-hop head, but he grew up both in an R&B household and in the church where singing was a big part of his musical formation. Phonte breaks down the group’s influence on his understanding of songwriting, lyrics, and the balance between uptempo and down-tempo songs. He also discusses the album’s mature themes, crediting them for helping a young brother’s macking game.

Aimee Flint is a bad-ass. With over 10 years under her belt as the Director of Operations for Grammy-nominated duo The Foreign Exchange, she knows a thing or two about challenging times. Listen her story of strength, perseverance and truly being up for ANY challenge.

In this episode, Aimee talks about how she got her start in the industry, the moment Phonte offered her a job with the group, and the challenges that come with her role. We talked about keeping a label steady throughout all the turmoil the industry has been through, and how to keep a fan-base engaged with creative strategies the big labels aren't thinking about.
