About the show
From raw underground grit to masterful, jazz-infused, cinematic production.
A gathering for true fans of hip-hop craft, centred on the chemistry behind tracks like ‘Soul Amazing’ and ‘The Narrow Path’, alongside selections from across their expansive catalogue.
Their work with Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Madlib and Mobb Deep speaks to a legacy of influence few artists can match.
For longtime listeners, a reunion charged with nostalgia and elevation. For new fans, an entry point into a world where lyricism and soul still reign supreme.
Featuring
Blu & Exile
The underground Los Angeles-based duo of MC Blu (b. Johnson Barnes) and DJ/producer Exile (b. Aleksander Manfredi) earned widespread acclaim right out of the gate with their debut album.
Crowned by critics as the seemingly perfect marriage of Blu’s everyday-struggle raps and Exile’s Pete Rock-and J Dilla-inspired production, they first crossed paths in the early 2000s. Blu earned gigs as a hype man for various soul/hip-hop outfits like Slum Village, Steve Spacek, Platinum Pied Pipers, and Exile’s own duo, Emanon, while Exile earned production credits for the likes of Jurassic 5, Kardinal Offishall, and Mobb Deep.
