It's been a minute since I've posted some stuff from Blu or Exile, so with a video being dropped by them recently it just feels right to post this. Enjoy.
Interesting enough this young man came up in a conversation last night. A friend was just saying they wanted to see more stuff from him. Well here we are with a new video...enjoy.

Part 2 of that interview I dropped the other day. Courtesy of Splash! Mag, here's what they had to say about it:
Here we go with part 2 of “CHANNEL ZERO” with Blu, Exile and Fashawn. We watch the video for the song that inspired Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock”, talk about LL Cool J’s influence on them, go back to the days of the L.A. Good Life Cafe and have a look at a classic German rap video.
Another episode of our favored CHANNEL ZERO rubric with appreciated Cali artists Blu, Exile and Fashawn. We watched several internet videos and discussed with them about legendary L.A. beat battles, incredible street-art writers, their ambitions as film makers, the gang culture and Toyota’s. – splash!-Mag
Exile mixes things up in his set a bit as he builds a beat on stage @ Left Fest which went down a couple weeks back @ The Mezzanine out here in San Francisco. – BMUSE
The things that can happen when you get two musicians in the same spot for a sound check...an unforeseen jam session. Check it out if you're a music fan and enjoy.
Part 2 of Yours Truly's time with Exile, their words below:
Yours Truly presents their latest installment with LA producer, Exile, in which he speaks upon his early days of inspiration as a musician, his roots to what has developed with his MPC routines, and his early experiences with percussion and finger drumming.
After the Sacramento date of the How The Grouch Stole Christmas Tour was completed, Phalary of The Mash Up sat down with Exile as he named his top 5 albums of 2009, explained how he plans on releasing a project where he only samples his father’s music, shared what he would be doing if he weren’t a producer and what we can expect from him in 2010.
Upcoming Projects:
- Bird’s Eye View by Emanon (Exile x Aloe Blacc), 2010
