In 2011, when singer\/rapper\/songwriter Phonte of The Foreign Exchange (+FE) fame released the critically-acclaimed, Top 10 Rap\/Hip Hop Album, \u003cem\u003eCharity Starts at Home\u003c\/em\u003e, 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, \u003cem\u003eNo News Is Good News\u003c\/em\u003e 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\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" aria-hidden=\"false\" role=\"tabpanel\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e To the Rescue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e So Help Me God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Pastor Tigallo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Expensive Genes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Cry No More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Such Is Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Change of Mind Feat.
