Foreign Exchange (album)

Foreign Exchange is a collaborative studio album by the American rapper Rx Papi and the Swedish record producer Gud. It was released by Year0001 on November 19, 2021. Gud contacted Rx Papi to collaborate on an album by sending him beats, and Rx Papi recorded the raps over the course of a month.

Foreign Exchange is a hip-hop album that uses breathless and direct raps over synthesizer-driven production. The album explores strained family relationships, the emotional impact of street life, and missed opportunities; Rx Papi also compares himself to notable criminals in its lyrics. The song "12 Stout Street" saw virality on the social platform TikTok. The album received positive reviews from music critics, many of whom enjoyed the contrast between Rx Papi's rapping and Gud's production and felt the collaboration was unexpected. Pitchfork included it in their mid-decade list of the best albums of the 2020s.
