In 2011, when singer\/rapper\/songwriter Phonte of The Foreign Exchange (+FE) fame released the critically-acclaimed, Top 10 Rap\/Hip Hop Album, Charity Starts at Home, it was an impactful reminder that Phonte was more than just the occasionally comical, often reflective crooner of +FE; much more. Announced almost two years ago, No News Is Good News was in the incubator for some time, despite Phonte believing this project wouldn't have the long, two-year creative and production process that birthed CSAH. Helping him cultivate his new baby is a bevy of talent in front of and behind the scenes, including but not limited to: featured artists Eric \"Erro\" Roberson and Midwest rapper Freddie Gibbs, long-time +FE collaborator Lorenzo \"Zo!\" Ferguson, Devonne Harris erro duet album with Erro), progressive trumpeter Josef Leimberg of 2016's Astral Progressions fame, Terrell Wallace (Gilles Peterson, Tall Black Guy), and a host of relative newcomers. With this solid creative team, the project joins veteran projects like Jay-Z's 4:44 in confidently answering the prevailing pop culture question what does a rapper over age 40 write about and does it follow trends? Like Jay-Z and producer No-I.D., Phonte partially answers by surrounding several songs with strong R\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo the Rescue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Help Me God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePastor Tigallo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpensive Genes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCry No More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuch Is Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChange of Mind Feat.
