Time: Line

Nicolay was just an unknown aspiring Dutch producer before Little Brother's Phonte contacted him after hearing one of his beats on an Okayplayer message board. The pair eventually decided to release an album together as the Foreign Exchange, which sent Nicolay's career into high gear, as he produced tracks for other Justus League members and released a handful of solo albums. It was on one of these, 2006's Here, that Nicolay met (over message boards, again) Houston MC Kevin Jackson, or Kay, featuring him on the track "My Story." The duo worked together so well that they, too, decided to make a full-length, which resulted in this, Time:Line.
