Phonte

Phonte of Little Brother and The Foreign Exchange will release his new solo album, Charity Starts At Home, on September 27th.  The new album is 12 tracks deep, and features guest appearances from Big K.R.I.T. and Evidnece (“The Life of Kings”) as well as Pharoahe Monch (“We Go Off”), Elzhi (“Not Here Anymore”) and more.  Today we have “The Good Fight”, which is produced by 9th Wonder and is another one of Phonte’s trademark straight-forward and no-nonsense records about his life as an independent musician balancing a family, life, and career as an “artist”.  He keeps real in the song’s chorus:

“Keep it real ‘Tay and don’t ever sell out, but how the f**k you sell out when ain’t nobody selling? Tired of playing with y’all, I want to fight the good fight but it ain’t paying me dog.”

 

Phonte: “The Good Fight” (prod by 9th Wonder)
