Blu & Exile :: Concert Videos :: Vol. 22
While we're in the mode of West Coast rap,
here's a trunk-rattling set from Blu & Exile,
the underground Los Angeles team responsible
for the Below the Heavens album.
Be forewarned that Blu is, well, blue.
His rhymes are stocked with profanities
and very un-P.C. references, and are
tagged with a big, glowing, beeping,
flashing "Explicit Content" button.

is this the kevan seal from KQLL? it HAS to be. It's Tami Barrett from TU, Kevan. How about this Pandora stuff? I absolutely LOVE it. I discovered it thru a friend - who actually is a higher up at KTSO (your ol stomping grounds). Anyhow -- it's the technology I've been awaiting all my natural born daze. TOO COOL - music on demand...gotta DIGGGGG-IT-MAN!

Hi, Tami,
Alas, nope, not the same Kevin Seal... I'm also not the Kevin Seal who hosted "120 Minutes" on MTV way back when... but I get that a lot. Kind of a common name, apparently.
Enjoy!

Rapping referred to as MCing or emceeing, its a vocal style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in rhyme, generally to a beat.

I'm in the Bay Area. I will have to check these guys out next time I get a chance. Thanks for the tip!

I simply love this stuff even if it's full of profanities ;)

Awesome. It just wouldn't be the same if they edited out the swearing - I hate it when they do that to good music.

thanks for the free tracks, bay area hiphop has always taken my interest!

Good good!
I'm glad you guys don't mind the salty language. I'm not a big fan of the cleaned-up, silenced-out versions of those songs either. Messes with the verbal flow too much.

Great sounds,but I'm not into the profanity.
Posted by: Deanna T. Redfern at May 12, 2009 04:48 PM
Wow, I was positively surprised when I listened these guys.
Posted by: James Murray at May 13, 2009 06:24 AM
I like the profanity it just wouldn't be the same without.

Wow Loving this thanks, glad it is not watered down.

I discovered these guys last summer and I have to say Below the Heavens is my favorite album of all time. Thanks for giving them some exposure, they deserve it

Rep not bad enough began develop during the last years.
We wait for new executions and new rhymes.

Would have been nice to see how the taskbar handles windows from program not pinned on it. Because actually you only showed windows launched directly from the taskbar itself.
