This is for the people who grew up on Tribe Called Quest and Pete Rock & CL Smooth and are now grown.

[@kelvin88keyes]

Dont forget Little Brother(Phonte, 9th Wonder, and Big Pooh)

[@nab5018]

That's me lol

[@quettabess]

That's me! :-)

[@kelvin88keyes]

Me too..as a matter of fact, they just released the last Tribe album!!

[@icebergo6]

yes

[@annmariegood37]

This song makes my soul smile

[@IsaiahVerseRailfanning]

This song WILL NOT get old. There's just a "freshness" to it.

[@menkabyrd289]

I never heard on radio not once

[@menkabyrd289]

He used to sing on the lean on me

[@menkabyrd289]

The movie

[@phuckoffff]

Everytime I play it, at least twice.

[@adamgordon2572]

You ain’t lying… every time i bump this it just sounds even better 🔥🔥

[@ThoVoBeatz]

Respect for Nicolay for always making great beats!

[@MrAlgorhythm]

Yes, Nicolay's been at it for years.

[@questkid73]

I believe they collaborate more on beats now, but the first FE album Nicolays beats were Dope!

[@frankcastle7777]

BLACK PEOPLE this is what music is, not that hate on you own race, pro gang and drug, self destruction stuff they tell you to listen toooo! GOD BLESS this group of talented artist!

[@bbrisbane27]

Amen

[@DJKAOS77]

i tell people all time current "black music" (lil wayne waka) sets music and people back its alarming how dumbed down music is now and how popular it is...its really sad. real music in my opinion like the foreign exchange , dwele , Robert glasper ect should be heard and loved by more people

[@bbrisbane27]

That's real right there. Good soulful music is time less

[@Harlemlate]

Amen Brother Amen, Current music from Lil Boosie, Chief Keef, Drake, etc are fucking up music, it's just stupid how good real music gets overlook for crazy dumbed down shit is just disrespectful to the art of Hip-Hop/R&B. I get that music has to change with the times & reach a new generation but it still doesn't need to be horrible in the process.

[@bbrisbane27]

Benet Gilbert that's alway bruh. Just had a convo with some people today about how good music is thrown to the wayside... damn shame

[@allenadams1862]

when i listen to current rap, then i hear this and say,"this just better"!

[@willieturner75]

You go hit the nail on the head

[@emmettjohns4344]

AIN'T THAT THE TROOF !!!

[@andreaschanck8629]

Word!!

[@galarthenry1450]

LOVE THIS COMMENT

[@kitsontuli2713]

im so glad this song has made its way into mainstream in south africa

[@718jef]

Kitso Ntuli this joint has mad it to mainstream in South Africa? Outstanding.

[@kitsontuli2713]

In fact, the first time I heard Sincere, their first single was on MetroFM in 2006. It was on repeat back then.

[@nombusom1369]

@@kitsontuli2713 my first time listening to Sincere was Metro FM Coca Cola top 40 when they played RnB and Neo Soul. Such an amazing time

[@gershonnundkumar6444]

its my first time reading this. This song reached #5 on our South African Indie Online Music Chart back in late 2013

[@richmondnkambule7376]

I can never stop jamming to this song. Till this day!

[@FEofficial]

[@S.P.E.A.R.]

This songs sounds just like LIFE> waking up and feeling alive. that is the best way I can describe this, This is a song that activates my beautiful melanin.

[@blkwebman]

Nice track! Why couldn't they play THIS on mainstream R&B radio?

[@raihanshrk1955]

Fuck mainstream music. This is the one right here.

[@nigeldeonmohamed2282]

Coz it's too dope

[@yungotcha]

phonte is one talented dude yo ... super underated .... never knew homie could sing ....

[@daffyduck1105]

Ahh Man U sleepin big dog one of the best lyricists ever

[@nathanielpaz6829]

+Anakin Flow I remember hearing him with Little Brother and 9th Wonder..you're right dude is super talented. Singing wise he reminds me of Dwele

[@yungotcha]

Daffy Duck never was sleeping i just didnt know he sang at all ... never heard the foreign exchange records till late .... i was a huge lil brother fan .... but hes dope and i love the FE albums .... hes like a throwback rnb singer

[@aaroniic]

+Anakin Flow he sang on little brother albums too fam

[@FedericoGPena]

+Anakin Flow Right...but that's him singing on the Little Brother stuff too!! I remember stumbling upon FE on Pandora some years back ("Happiness") and I was sold on dude immediately!! I found Little Brother just a lil' bit later...

[@joanlattimore7134]

I'm so sorry some of you just heard of these guys , I've been rocking with them for years . This is the real sounds.

[@PoeticJennifer]

Whatever Phonte and Eric touches brings me so much joy 😊💜🎵

[@deborahthemisses]

wish they would flood the radio stations with this type of music... this that good

[@waynephilbert]

Absolutely. Can you imagine folks getting upset and rowdy whilst listening to music of this quality? Uplifting...

[@thickheals]

Exactly! #Vibes

[@stxx1982]

lol the radio playing something that will make us want to unify and live in harmony(pun intended)... that'll be the day

[@lauragwillim1055]

themisses I know what you're saying. It's so uplifting and fabulous! You'd think all people would just groove and live in harmony! Sadly, many people don't like this style of music. Love foreign exchange so much

[@1NeoSoulChild]

It'd be a better world

[@92alpha13]

I met my wife a barbershop (She’s a barber). We talked for 20 mins and I left. I immediately went to my apartment and told a young lady I was dating I can do this no mo. 6 months later we was married. 20 years later..still going strong. #SheWasBetter

[@Jay-ue2ic]

Damn, were you THAT sure you even had a chance with you now wife before you broke up with the other girl?

[@92alpha13]

Jay To add context me and the other woman prior to my wife was doing good. No issues or complaints. I felt like we was together just to be together. But when I saw my wife and heard her voice I knew she was the one. Funny thing was she was in a relationship at the time. I can’t explain it but when I looked at here I felt like I experienced her love before and it was worth trying again.

[@ariesblue1193]

Still here in 2023 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dorispage8313]

2024 Still 🔥

[@ItsallaboutBee]

[@mikejohnson-ol7ug]

This song was my inspiration to leave my toxic relationship for someone who really deserved to be loved right...6 months later n I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life being in a relationship ❤️❤️❤️

[@tanishaperry7738]

Same here!

[@Manny-nm8dh]

This song is fine wine or pastureized cheese. Only getting better.

[@jlsmarts]

Just great music! And shout out to producers Nicolay, J-Dilla, Soulquarians, Dwele, etc., for putting horns (not just brass synths) into their music . Nice touch, nice sound!

[@dazurbrooks9012]

Perverted .Alchemist Dwele is a beast tooo.

[@yolandaalexander3121]

I love me some Dwele

[@smoothperformance2702]

Intelligent, soulful hiphop

[@shryve]

Not HipHop because they are Singing..........Rapping is not Singing

[@rocaw]

@@shryve IT has nothing yo do with that. Hiphop is not the way you express but what are you expressing. Erykah badu did hiphop songs singing as well.

[@bubblin24]

Damn this track make me feel good! Music is LIFE!

[@outsidethebox3]

Just heard this song on Pandora and I can't stop listening to it.

[@ai5ha1]

song is dope is hell, 51 dislikes are you people insane

[@PLawton2900]

Different strokes for different folks. Expecting everyone to like it is insane. I do, ijs. Some ppl like their music hard. I could sneak this in rotation to switch up da flavor sometimes.

[@ai5ha1]

*****​ look im well aware, duhhhhhhh im just jokingly talking smack.

[@mr.adassa4781]

+e-boogie this shit is hard! anyone who DIDN'T Like is a questionable Human!

A breath of fresh air compared to the mainstream of music that's currently produced

[@MannSP8]

Yes sir

[@asianiis]

Absolutely!

[@lawilli80ss]

I definitely totally agree with what you said!!

[@Prettyflaco19]

This is a Stepper's cut! Phonte, Nick you are really gifted and talented musicians. The hook and vocal talent is tight. Chicago will make this song a classic. Make more music like this, we step to this in The Chi'. Peace and Love, "King George and Lady V" - "Club Steppin'" Chicago
