[youtube id=”uCNlLjIsb7U”] Blu & Exile’s “Sold The Soul” lyric video is an animated story of Blu battling the pressure to either be a commercial or an independent artist. “Sold The Soul” is from their In The Beginning: Before The Heavens which is unearthed material from their Below The Heavens sessions.

Blu and Exile just made their holiday music debut with “Christmas Missed Us” for Amazon. Blu raps about being poor at Christmas time and questions why his holidays use to be so rough. The song was recorded exclusively for Amazon’s Christmas Soul playlist. The duo just released In The Beginning: Before The Heavens which has music from their Below The Heavens session never heard before.

Blu and Exile released Below The Heavens 10 years ago and it became a California underground classic hip-hop album. They are going back and reviving the vibe with the announcement of In The Beginning: Before Below The Heavens. The new album is a companion piece to Below The Heavens and it features unreleased music from those recording sessions. “Constellations” is one of the songs never heard before from the forthcoming project. The musical collaborators are also on the 10th-anniversary tour for Below The Heavens and more  dates have been added to their journey.
