Connected is the debut album by The Foreign Exchange, a hip hop group consisting of American rapper Phonte from Little Brother and Dutch producer Nicolay. It has since been widely regarded as a classic alternative hip-hop album, contributing to the high reputation of Phonte, member of the critically acclaimed hip-hop group Little Brother.

Their group name comes from how they produced their songs: Nicolay would produce a beat in the Netherlands and send the beat to Phonte through instant messaging, email, and traditional mail to lay down the vocals. Phonte would return the product, so Nicolay could then master the track; they did not meet until after the album was completed.[1]
