BLU & EXILE – MILES

The masterminds behind Below The Heavens are back for more. Exactly 13 years after dropping an album that many consider a classic, Blu and Exile will release Miles: From An Interlude Called Life on July 17th.

“It’s all about coming full circle,” Blu told Complex. “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.”

20 tracks deep and featuring the likes of Aloe Blacc, Aceyalone, Fashawn and others, Miles: From An Interlude Called Life leads with the single “Miles.”

RAS KASS, BRADY WATT & MAVERICK SABRE – PUSH ON THRU [VIDEO]

Brady Watt brings Ras Kass and Maverick Sabre together for the inspirational “Push On Thru” and drops a video that was shot during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Ironically, Ras Kass and I are neighbors in LA, but during quarantine I’ve been locked down in New York City since early May. Luckily, I have a studio here and have been able to make music every day, I wanted to make a positive song for the world right now and saw an awesome opportunity to do that with Ras and Maverick” Brady quipped.  “I’ve worked with Ras Kass before when we did our Bass & Bars and I’ve been a fan of Maverick’s for years.  The video for “Push On Thru” was shot during the quarantine in Ireland, New York and LA (all using social distancing practices of course).”

I love how Che’ comes at you from all different angles, and gives the imagery that’s needed in this game” Apollo stated to OkayPlayer.   “It was an honor to have one of the best to do it, Black Thought, on this record as well, giving his take on the grind.”
