On their impressive new track “Roots Of Blue”, the team of Blu & Exile comb through the annals of black history and pay respect to the myriad of personalities that have helped to shape civilization in so many different ways – from science to art to politics and more. Blu travels back and forth through the centuries, listing names that should be very familiar as well as some that may not be as widely known, and lays down a deeply rooted connection between himself, the listener, and the past. Poet Jacinto Rhines weaves in and out of Blu’s historical census, adding poignancy and gravitas to the track with his elder griot deepness. Connecting it all is Exile’s rootsy (forgive the pun) Congo-stomp production. Very, VERY dope work! You can show your support by purchasing the single – or by pre-ordering the Miles album (available July 17th) from which the tune is lifted – from your favorite online music service below as well as by checking out more from Blu & Exile when you connect with the duo online via the links listed.
“2020 marks eight years since Blu & Exile’s last full length album ‘Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them’. Now in an effort to make up for lost time, the dynamic duo are back to drop the double album ‘Miles: From An Interlude Called Life’ (‘Miles’ for short). Released through Dirty Science Records, the album includes features from Blu‘s childhood friend and now platinum recording artist Miguel, Exile’s childhood friend Aloe Blacc, Dirty Science alum Fashawn, along with several emerging artists like The Last, Artful Dodger, Choosey, Iman Omari, and more!” – Dirty Science Records
