HIDE & SEEK’s aim is to deliver a platform for our favourite artists and producers to showcase some of the incredible emerging talent and unsung heroes in the underground movement. As our first compilers we are delighted to welcome PHONTE COLEMAN and NICOLAY ROOK aka THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
It is a 5 star album which flows perfectly from head to toe and delivers some of the finest head nodding, goose bumping, soul-filled music you will have heard for some time. the album has two exclusives cuts from the Foreign Exchange including the sultry new single ‘Shelter’ and the heavy unreleased remix of ‘Asking for a Friend’ by Stro Elliot.
The album features some great talents:
Atlanta-bred singer/songwriter Bosco and Napoleon Wright II & Jared Wofford aka Art Nap, Echelon, Hide&Seek. Detroit’s Pirahnahead and his longtime collaborator Diviniti, Gwen Bunn is a musical triple threat from Georgia.

Hailing from Washington DC, we are delighted to present the mysteries and wonders of Muhsinah. Having collaborated with common, jazzy Jeff and of course the foreign exchange, trumpet player and composer, Leron Thomas featuring the stand out vocals of Bilal on ‘role play’.
