Blu is a standout figure of Los Angeles emcees, renowned for his commanding presence and captivating music that resonates across various demographics. His delivery is smooth, and his lyrical content vividly reflects both the joys and struggles of working-class youth. Exile, known for his work with Aloe Blacc in Emanon, is a versatile producer, DJ, and occasional emcee whose "laid-back soulful vibes" draw inspiration from producers like J Dilla and Madlib. Their first collaborative effort, "Below the Heavens" in 2007 was a significant moment for LA hip hop, echoing the legacy of groups like Freestyle Fellowship, Jurassic 5, and The Pharcyde. The album garnered critical acclaim and is celebrated as one of the year's standout releases. Blu’s momentum earned him a place in the XXL Freshman Class alongside Wale, Kid Cudi, B.o.B, and Charles Hamilton — proof that the underground could crown its own stars. But they never stopped building. Blu & Exile are back with their new album "Time Heals Everything," which features high-level Emceeing and production. They will be returning to Baltimore from their previous festival "Above the Clouds" back in 2024. This time we will have support from Quelle Chris, Ill Conscious, DJ-Sun, Ullnevano, B33 and RÆDA. Come join us for amazing night of Hip Hop, Dance music, and the Baltimore community of performing arts.
