20 years of @FEofficial's 'Connected'
@nicolaymusic: "I put a beat up on Okayplayer, on the forums, and that later turned out to 'Be Alright.' ....The response was so positive that it floored me a little bit."

'Connected' was made possible by AOL Instant Messanger and represented a genre-bending sonic shift that would define the next generation.

Per my last post, celebrating 20 years of @FEofficial's Connected album, it's dope that the album cover pays homage to #HerbieHancock's 1968 album "Speak Like A Child."
The photo depicts Hancock in silhouette kissing his wife-to-be, Gigi Meixner.

Story Time! In 2011 @FEofficial is going on their Authenticity tour. Me and my friend DJ 76 reached out to their manager to see if we could help get St Louis on the tour. They trusted us to help make it happen. And we have been fortunate to have helped bring two TFE tours to St Louis. Just two Dj’s getting the opportunity to work with one of our favorite groups. @nicolaymusic and @phontigallo are a once in a generation talent. Watch the Video recap

20 years ago, two strangers making an album over the internet wasn’t just improbable…it was unheard of.
