Blu and Exile first met in the mid-2000s while Blu was serving as a hype man for various hip-hop groups including Slum Village, Platinum Pied Pipers, and Exile's own group, Emanon.[1] He was personally introduced to Exile through Emanon's other member, Aloe Blacc.[1] In 2007, Blu & Exile released their debut album, Below the Heavens, which was described by XXL as "one of 2007's most celebrated hip-hop releases".[2] In 2012, the duo released their second album, Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them.[3] In 2017, the duo released In the Beginning: Before the Heavens, deleted tracks from Below the Heavens.[4] Their next release, the True & Livin' EP was released May 24, 2019.[5] On July 17, 2020, Blu & Exile released their third album, Miles: From An Interlude Called Life (or Miles for short), coinciding with the 13th anniversary of Below the Heavens.
