Blu & Exile are an American hip hop duo, formed in 2007, composed of rapper Blu and hip hop producer Exile.

Ever since he burst onto the scene in 2007 with the widely acclaimed Exile collaboration "Below The Heavens", L.A. rapper Blu has been hailed as the most promising up-and-comer hip-hop has seen in years. With his cool L.A. demeanor and intricate lyrical musings, Blu blew a breath of fresh air into a stale SoCal hip-hop scene, leading hip-hop tastemakers like HipHopDX and XXL to name him one of the genre’s top newcomers. After releasing further collaborations with Detroit’s Ta’Raach and L.A. producer Mainframe, Blu was rumored to be entertaining offers from several major labels.

After laying low for a while, Blu‘s musical output exploded in receent years. First he dropped a retail version of his classic love-themed mixtape "Her Favorite Colo(u)r", which HipHopDX hailed as “a worthy third solo album in a flawless catalog.” Then he came out of nowhere with his first newly recorded material in 2 years, the jaw-dropping "Jesus" (featuring collaborations with Madlib, Alchemist, Planet Asia, Hezekiah, and more). He also put his beats on display with the production album "Open", getting verses from buzzworthy MCs like Sene, Fresh Daily, ScienZe, and Versis (plus a couple from himself) and earning a rare 90/100 review on Okayplayer.

Fresh off the release of this critically-acclaimed trio (all released within the course of a year), Blu moved on to "York", his most ambitious project to date. The oft-delayed masterpiece (formerly known as "NoYork") boasted a unique sonic pallette from the beat icons like Flying Lotus, Exile, Shafiq Husayn of Sa Ra, Daedalus, Dibia$e, and Samiyam, setting it apart from his previous work. With typical ease, Blu unexpectedly placed himself at the forefront of a new genre, melding classic hip-hop lyricism with the experimentation of the L.A. beat scene.
