"Foreign Affair" is a concept project that came about from the interaction with overseas producers/ artist/ DJ's/ graphic designers. This was spawned from the promotions of Kodac aka M80's most recent album, "Blessed By A Broken Heart" (The Experience). With his hands on involvement in sales and promotions, Kodac and his team were able to track the sales of the album and noticed a trend with overseas sales. Amazingly the music that Kodac creates, has a worldwide appeal that is embraced by many cultures. Not even the language barrier has stopped the impact of his music with people abroad. Kodac says "the cats overseas seem to have a grasp on what the Hip Hop culture was made for. Regardless of where you are at in the world, those are the types of people that I want to build with." The album features producers from Germany, France, Lithuania, Belgium, Poland, and Spain, with four different languages being represented. It also features artist from the USA, OneBeLo (of Binary Star), Blue Raspberry (Wu-Tang), Fat Ray, Bronze Nazareth (Wu-Tang), and artists from Tanzania, Ghana, France, Liberia, Egypt, and Uganda. The fusion of the music and the collection of features bring together an authentic sound that is genuine with out duplication. This is the result of an unexpected relationship that was formed, despite other pending obligations, resulting in a musical "Foreign Affair" between artists, producers, DJ's and collaborators. Kodac aka M80 is fresh off of a 20 city tour with the Harlem Globetrotters as the on court Emcee. Being on the road daily, and Emceeing in front of thousands has prepared him for anything and everything ahead. Having the overseas market in full view, this album is another example of how Hip Hop music, when used correctly, can bring all types of people together. Plans to tour Europe, Asia, the continent of Africa, and more using the music as the tool of interaction are being put together by G.F.G. Entertainment and sponsors. The "We ALL Have A GIFT" slogan is statement embraced globally, and understood by others who live their lives purposed filled." - I Still Love H.E.R.
