Blu & Exile’s Below The Heavens is one of the best underground rap albums of the past 15 years. With Blu’s honest and sharp lyricism and Exile’s soulful boom bap beats, the duo crafted a certified classic. 13 years later, they’re back with new 20 track album entitled Miles. The project’s namesake is a dedication to Blu’s son. With 8 years passed since their last project, the two have not missed a beat. Miles is top-tier hip-hop pairing clever wordplay and deeply honest bars with moving and engrossing production. In an era oversaturated with trap beats, autotune and a lack of substance, the project proves to be a breath of fresh air, reminding listeners of the golden era of rap without sounding dated.
