27fm Weekly Niche Cache Playlist: October 10

Pre-order here: smarturl.it/BluExile 10 years after Blu and Exile released their magnum opus Below the Heavens, the California duo have reunited to release 14 tracks from the original 2007 sessions. In the Beginning: Before the Heavens contains previously heard songs and unreleased gems – the best of the best chosen from over 40 songs in the vault. Their third collaboration follows 2012’s Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them, and is slated for an October release. In The Beginning: Before the Heavens is made of up songs that are raw and untouched, keeping the authenticity of Blu and Exile’s creativity at the time. The album has guest appearances from familiar names like Dr. Oop, Donel Smokes, Aloe Blacc, and Blame One. While “Soul Provider,” “Another Day,” and “Party of Two” appeared on Blu’s Lifted EP, the majority of these songs showcase Blu rapping at his peak, maintaining his underground attitude as he dishes on reaching star status (“Constellations”), getting radio play (“On the Radio”), or opposing views in a problem-ridden world (“You’re Gonna Die Someday”). Exile, meanwhile, builds a golden hip-hop era feel with head-nodding samples and DJ scratches. In addition to releasing In The Beginning: Before the Heavens for their fans, Blu and Exile are continuing their celebration of Below the Heavens with a West Coast anniversary tour. After such a huge turnout for the duo’s Below the Heavens anniversary show at the Regent Theatre in L.A. in July, they decided to take the live experience on the road with Dag Savage, Choosey, and Cashus King.

After being denied a Visa to America numerous times, I didn’t want to come to the states anymore. So when we finally got approved for a visa I wasn’t as excited as I was “supposed” to be. This freestyle is so rough that the second verse is just gibberish. And that’s what the “American Dream” feels like to me now. Everyone has their own version of the American Dream, this is just a piece of mine. LYRICS : https://genius.com/Mannywellz-american-dream-freestyle-lyrics

"I love the record. It helped me learn things about myself; diving deep and discovering what makes us tick. As far as the project, I'm excited about the range of emotions we show. Lots of us, especially Black Men, are raised not to be emotional or to only show strength and anger. Emotions are our super powers. We should embrace them. To me, thats living life fully and truly." - Johnny Venus "The record means a lot to me because at the time it helped fuel my creative momentum. This record will always have a special place in my heart. The instrumental played so well with a concept i was working in my head before i even heard it. All this rap shit really is just selling emotions. This is the most exciting way we could sell feeling numb. Lol smh here we go again. " The project is just the next step of an overall creative experiment we're trying. The fans will yield the results. If rags was u closing ur eyes to meditate then robots is that deep breath you take. - Doctur Dot ROBOTS drops October 20, 2017
