In the following year he contributed vocals to rap group Playaz Circle’s “Paper Chaser”, from their album Supply & Demand. Phonte’s recent projects include The Foreign Exchange’s third album, Authenticity, as well as a collaboration (as Tiggalo) with Detroit-based musician Zo! titled Zo! & Tigallo Love the 80s. The latter of these is intended as an homage to early 1980s R&B and pop music and features covers of popular songs such as a-Ha’s “Take On Me”, Toto’s “Africa”, and Joe Jackson’s “Stepping Out”.
