The Foreign Exchange – Sirius XM Live Session 3.7.09

The Foreign Exchange dropped by the Sirius XM studios in DC to bless an intimate crowd and radio listeners with a beautiful live in-studio performance. Backed by the talented full live band, Zo! & The ELs, and the soulful voices of Yahzarah and Darien Brockington on background vocals, this was truly a great set. Here is the entire performance, which recently aired on the Sirius XM show.

Leave It All Behind was my favorite album of 2008. I still play it on a regular basis (about every week). This is dope, real dope, it is LIVE. I am still mad I couldn’t see their free show last Sunday in North Carolina. To ease my pain I listen to this over and over. I felt it was time to share this with you to. They even do a few cuts off Connected. As always Phonte has humor throughout the entire show. If you don’t have Leave It All Behind go and cop it now. Tracklist and Download link after the jump…
