Phonte: Deep Cuts & The Art of Reinvention Phonte Coleman @phontigallo is one of the most gifted, versatile, and consistent artists of his generation — rapper, singer, songwriter, filmmaker, actor, and a storyteller whose pen has shaped two decades of hip-hop & soul. But this episode isn’t a traditional interview. We riff, reflect, and break down the music, lessons, and reinventions that shaped his journey — from Little Brother to The Foreign Exchange, from elite MC craftsmanship to deeply soulful compositions. This is Phonte in rare form: honest, funny, thoughtful, and constantly evolving. 🎙 Topics we dive into: • The art of reinvention • Why your best chapter can still be ahead • Creativity, risk-taking & evolution • Little Brother ➜ Foreign Exchange • His crates, his DJ life, and the records that shaped him • Being a lifelong student in music & life • Navigating the business on his own terms One of the best conversations we’ve ever had on the show. Tap in — and let this one sit with you. 🎧 Full episode on YouTube + Spotify #Phonte #PhonteColeman #LittleBrother #ForeignExchange #GemsWithShom GemsPodcast HipHopCulture SoulMusic CreativeJourney Reinvention MusicPodcast StayInspired

Shouts to my brothers @djcastro @djbillybill @ricojewelz for the support, the legends @jarobiwhite @lordjazzlotug @djscratch for pulling up, the entire crew at @danteshifi , and the gawd @richmedina for an amazing night.

My @qls brother Bill Sherman gave me 24 hours to write a @sesamestreet song for @sza and this was the result. “Gratitude” Written and produced by me x @zo3hree5ive x @bsherman2222 All instruments by @zo3hree5ive Shouts to my #FEMusic family @bemyfiasco for singing the reference, to the whole team at Sesame Street for keeping the party going, and to @sza for being a class act. Enjoy! 🙌🏾❤️
