So my Friday night foray to Nashville was awesome but my idiot ass drove into a concrete pole (a hidden one in my defense) at a gas station about an hour outside of the city, causing what's probably about $1,000 worth of damage to the passenger side door of my Juke. I'm heartbroken. On the other hand I had a friend who I can say anything to make me feel better about it (and the scary dating world out there by regaling me with psycho girly stories...so I know it's not just the male gender that tends to pull weird [...]
![[Video] Blu & Exile: “Ease Your Mind” (feat. Andy Allo)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4827036_lg.jpg)
I come from the school of thought that says Blu and Exile should make music exclusively as Blu & Exile. They've both made great music in each-other's absence but it never sounded as organic. Despite his new found notoriety, Blu post Below The Heavens didn't sound quite as confident as he did on their debut. Once he hopped on Give Me Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them he seamed to regain his easy going bravado. Exile's beats simply sound tailored for Blu's lax melodic delivery. They've claimed to distain each-other while loving one another's artistic [...]

Download the latest cut from DJ Nu-Mark "Don't Play Around" featuring Aloe Blacc & Charles Bradley, off the Broken Sunlight Series . http://unclenu.com
I'll forever have love for Jurassic 5, so even six years after the L.A. hip-hop idols broke up, curiosity pulled me back in (and now they're on the comeback trail at Coachella). That's a good thing. I might have otherwise overlooked this new single from Nu-Mark , one of J5's two DJs (along with the esteemed Cut Chemist ). Nu-Mark released his debut full-length Broken Sunlight , and he's been releasing songs as a series of 10-inch records over the past year or so. It's an innovative method, but what do [...]
Exile has to be one of the most consistent producers around right now. I really feel like everything he touches is gold. After exceptional albums with Blu ( 2007 , 2012 ) and Fashawn ( 2009 ), Exile's latest collaboration is with L.A./S.D. rapper Johaz as Dag Savage . The EP features a pseudo-reunion of Emanon, with Aloe Blacc providing the hook on "When It Rains" (below), and rapping along with L.A. local ( rather than "Living" ) legend, Murs on "That's Just Life." Only an EP, but it's [...]

Shortly after the leaking of " When It Rains ", Dag Savage follow up with the Marcus Mizelle-directed visual treatment. Even snagging Aloe Blacc for an appearance, the gang run through the infectious single through pouring rain. Quite the nice touch to a quick-hitting project and introduction to what is looking like a pretty promising duo between Exile and Johaz. The Dag Savage EP is out now.
Play this one on a dreary rainy day and you just might feel a tear or two welling up as Johaz, one half of Dag Savage, tells us how it feels to have "a heart colder than the south pole." Exile , the other half of the duo, provides his signature soulful production, over which Johaz eloquently reminisces over lost romance, and Aloe Blacc's feathery falsetto is golden on the hook. Get lost in the melancholy vibes of this tune below, and purchase their full EP, which released January 15th, here . [...]

To celebrate the release of the Dag Savage EP, Exile & Johaz release a free cut "When It Rains" featuring Aloe Blacc. iTunes: The Dag Savage EP - Dag Savage
Usually whenever we had heard Aloe Blacc and Exile working together, Blacc was doing the rapping. This time around, on the Dag Savage project, the rapper turned soul singer blesses the hook with some soothing notes. And let's not forget about Johaz, who tells some revealing stories over one of my favorite Ex beats in recent memories. "When It Rains" will land on Dag Savage's forthcoming self-titled EP, which is available now for pre-order.
