Whether you are a fan of Blu & Exile or not, you can't deny that Below the Heavens was a classic album. DON'T EVEN FRONT!!!! So we were glad when the good folks at Kool Out Live told us that they are bring Blu & Exile out to South Africa to perform in Cape Town(Zula Sound Bar, September 3) and Johannesburg(Newtown Town Hall, September 4). Here are a few words from Kool Out Live.
Blu & Exile are a formidable underground duo from Los Angeles. These two up and comings have already created what some are calling a 'timeless hip hop classic" with their collaborative effort "Below the Heavens". Both are artists in their own right and are masterful in their field. Blu's career is about to explode having just signed to Warner, he gained respect for his work as Johnson & Jonson, and now recently working with the legendary Roots crew. Blu has a way of delivering his rhymes so that people across borders, age groups and genres can relate. Exile, with
his albums “Dirty Science”, "Radio" and the critically acclaimed follow up AM/FM released on Plug Research, has proven himself to be not only a master of the MPC but also a bohemian sample poet and a forward thinking producer.
“The beauty of Hip-Hop is that there’s always a hungry MC out there making great music you’ve haven’t heard yet. Enter LA rapper Blu, who burst on the scene last year with the Exile produced album Below the Heavens. Since then, the young MC has had praises heaped on him everywhere from ?uestlove of the Roots to every blogspot/wordpress user on the Internets.” - Allhiphop.com
