PHONTE No News Is Good News RESTOCK COMING SOON CD NOW SHIPPING PHONTE No News Is Good News RESTOCK COMING SOON CD NOW SHIPPING KEY SELLING POINTS • The sophomore solo album by Phonte (of Little Brother and The Foreign Exchange) • Features from Freddie Gibbs and Eric Roberson DESCRIPTION ARTIST: Phonte In 2011, when singer/rapper/songwriter Phonte of The Foreign Exchange TITLE: No News Is Good News (+FE) fame released the critically-acclaimed, Top 10 Rap/Hip Hop Album, CATALOG: L-FE012 Charity Starts at Home,it was an impactful reminder that Phonte was more than just the occasionally comical, often reflective crooner of +FE; LABEL: Foreign Exchange Music much more. As a rapper, Phonte had been the lynchpin of North Carolina’s GENRE: Hip-Hop/Rap globally respected four album, six mixtapes run of the now defunct Little BARCODE: 659123112017 Brother trio, whose “Lovin’ It” single from the 9th Wonder produced The FORMAT: 2XLP Minstrel Show is a bonafide cult classic. Audience members who came to know Phonte at the onset of The Foreign Exchange’s 2004 Connected HOME MARKET: North Carolina or over the last 14 years of near annual releases (whether outfit, duo, RELEASE: 8/31/2018 solo, live or remix) through Phonte and Nicolay’s Foreign Exchange LIST PRICE: $29.98 / CU Music label might have thought Phonte’s occasional bars throughout the years were the lighthearted play of a singer, not an extension of a strong CASE QTY: 35/1 Southern hip hop legacy several projects and nearly two decades deep. TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio) Announced almost two years ago, No News Is Good News was in the incubator for some time, despite Phonte believing this project wouldn’t 1.

Freddie Gibbs confidently answering the prevailing pop culture question what does a 8. Sweet You rapper over age 40 write about and does it follow trends? 9. Find That Love Again feat. Eric Roberson Like Jay-Z and producer No-I.D., Phonte partially answers by surrounding 10. Euphorium (Back To The Light) several songs with strong R&B and soul elements in-line with the classic hip hop of the ‘90s, if with the contemporary blueprint that made +FE an act that seemingly goes from strength to strength with every album. “Such Is Life” opens with a flutter of soulful lightness in keys and vocals before sliding into a deceptively silky, sophisticated soundscape of romantic elements that belies the harsh realism of every day street life Phonte depicts on the cut’s portraiture. With Eric Roberson on “Find That Love Again,” Phonte returns with his partner on a two-stepping smooth, light funk that personified the best of the mid-tempo grooves of the brilliant Tigallerro. The marital bliss of “Sweet You” throwback goes so far as to be a remixed, hip hop sequel of +FE’s “Sweeter Than You” from the Grammy-nominated Leave It All Behind.

  • WXYC Brings You Gems from the Treasure of UNC's Southern
    IN/AUDIBLE LETTER FROM THE EDITOR a publication of N/AUDIBLE is the irregular newsletter of WXYC – your favorite Chapel Hill radio WXYC 89.3 FM station that broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week out of the Student Union on the UNC campus. The last time this publication came out in 2002, WXYC was CB 5210 Carolina Union Icelebrating its 25th year of existence as the student-run radio station at the University of Chapel Hill, NC 27599 North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This year we celebrate another big event – our tenth anni- USA versary as the first radio station in the world to simulcast our signal over the Internet. As we celebrate this exciting event and reflect on the ingenuity of a few gifted people who took (919) 962-7768 local radio to the next level and beyond Chapel Hill, we can wonder request line: (919) 962-8989 if the future of radio is no longer in the stereo of our living rooms but on the World Wide Web. http://www.wxyc.org As always, new technology brings change that is both exciting [email protected] and scary. Local radio stations and the dedicated DJs and staffs who operate them are an integral part of vibrant local music communities, like the one we are lucky to have here in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Staff NICOLE BOGAS area. With the proliferation of music services like XM satellite radio Editor-in-Chief and Live-365 Internet radio servers, it sometimes seems like the future EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Nicole Bogas of local radio is doomed.

    “THE BIGGEST COLORED SHOW ON EARTH”: HOW MINSTRELSY HAS DEFINED PERFORMANCES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN IDENTITY FROM 19TH CENTURY THEATER TO HIP HOP A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Laura-Brynn Neuhoff Washington, D.C. April 26, 2017 “THE BIGGEST COLORED SHOW ONE EARTH”: HOW MINSTRELSY HAS DEFINED PERFORMANCES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN IDENTITY FROM 19TH CENTURY THEATER TO HIP HOP Laura-Brynn Neuhoff Thesis Adviser: Marcia Chatelain, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This senior thesis seeks to answer the following question: how and why is the word “minstrel” and associated images still used in American rap and hip hop performances? The question was sparked by the title of a 2005 rap album by the group Little Brother: The Minstrel Show. The record is packaged as a television variety show, complete with characters, skits, and references to blackface. This album premiered in the heat of the Minstrel Show Debate when questions of authenticity and representation in rap and hip hop engaged community members. My research is first historical: I analyze images of minstrelsy and reviews of minstrel shows from the 1840s into the twentieth century to understand how the racist images persisted and to unpack the ambiguity of the legacy of black blackface performers. I then analyze the rap scene from the late 2000-2005, when the genre most poignantly faced the identity crisis spurred by those referred to as “minstrel” performers. Having conducted interviews with the two lyricists of Little Brother: Rapper Big Pooh and Phonte, I primarily use Little Brother as my center of research, analyzing their production in conjunction with their spatial position in the hip hop community.
