My guests this week are California rapper-producers Blu & Exile. We spoke about recent hits like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Poor Things, hip-hop cinematic classics like Krush Groove, Breakin’, and Wild Style, how DMX and Common inspired Blu to rap, a look back at Blu’s Her Favorite Colo(u)r and Exile’s work on Mobb Deep’s “Pearly Gates,” the Blu Note edition of their 2007 classic Below The Heavens, and the creative process behind their latest album Love (the) Ominous World. Come fuck with us.
