Exile is the guy on the left!
FreshSelects recently caught up with producer Exile (of Blu and Exile fame) to get some details on his upcoming solo project:
Rarely one to take the expected path, Ex decided to flip the script a bit and instead of doing the typical instrumental album, challenged himself to only sampling sounds taken from his local L.A. radio waves to make his beats & statements with. The result is a sonic collage of crisp drums, static feedback, talking samples, and sounds from a wide array of genres – all filtered through Exile’s signature seamlessly chopped-up, tempo-switching style, and composed to convey succint life messages to the audience.
I have liked Exile ever since I heard Mobb Deep’s Pearly Gates, and of course we damn near played every track off of Below the Heavens on the podcast, so this is definitely good news. Check out FreshSelects to download the track “In Love” off the album. Or you can just wait for the next regular episode of the podcast…
