William "Tycoon" Russ This is my favourite album of the 2020’s. A classic in the first order. Every song is truly great. Nothing sounds repetitive and it continues to be fresh and new to this day. Favorite track: You Ain't Never Been Blue.

viktorharterlikes What a freaking project. But how can one ever have low expectations when its Ex & Bl? 21 tracks of perfection im continuosly impressed by Blu's discography. And why shouldn't I be Blu is my favorite rapper of all time. So grateful i finally have had the resources to pay for this masterpiece. Favorite track: You Ain't Never Been Blue.

Tom Colquhoun Just like the cover photo, this album is thick with roots: Blue interweaving portrayals of his own roots and upbringing; falling in love with music and the wider history of soul and hip-hop; the history of the African diaspora; coming back around to the roots Blu is putting down in the present, his family and vision for his future. A breathtakingly ambitious and beautifully executed , soulful album with big, gorgeous, dreamy, jazzy beats from Exile. Favorite track: Music Is My Everything feat. Choosey & Jimetta Rose.

about

2020 marks eight years since Blu & Exile's last full length album 'Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them'. Now in an effort to make up for lost time, the dynamic duo are back to drop the double album 'Miles: From An Interlude Called Life' ('Miles' for short). Released through Dirty Science Records, the album includes features from Blu‘s childhood friend and now platinum recording artist Miguel, Exile’s childhood friend Aloe Blacc, Dirty Science alum Fashawn, along with several emerging artists like The Last, Artful Dodger, Choosey, Iman Omari, and more!

'Miles' is slated for a July 17th release (coincidentally the same day as their lauded debut 'Below The Heavens'). “We planted the seeds of creativity and grew about 40 plants,” Exile says of the release. “We picked the ones that we thought were the best for an album, but that didn’t mean that the other flowers weren’t beautiful.”

Blu & Exile are ready to prove they haven’t missed a beat, as their undeniable chemistry is once again put on display.
