Blu & Exile have carved their names in the legacy of independent rap with the release of their album, Below The Heavens in 2007. Though they've gone on to work on their respective solo careers, they've reunited to release a few projects. Up next for them is Miles that they announced earlier today with a brand new single titled, "Miles Davis."
"It’s all about coming full circle,” Blu told Complex about their upcoming project. “We’re bringing it back to some of our traditional sounds and the grassroots that we come with. We’re bringing it back to basics, and we decided to go and pull from some of the people who helped pioneer our sounds.”
Check out Blu & Exile's new single "Miles Davis" below. Miles drops July 17th.
Quotable Lyrics
You cats washed up
Cut it with vets, and got your paws plucked
Prison guard couldn't lock ours, get your bars up
Bar none, n***a, Jay, bars get the job done
We could be Siamese Twins, still my squad one
