Blu & Exile – Below The Heavens (Original Samples)

via ThisIsHipHop

“Ah, I’m so glad to finally get this set off my hard drive! You all have no idea how long we’ve been working on this set. I would say probably since the beginning of the year. We’ll it’s as complete as it’s gonna get for now and I know a lot of people want this one. Lot’s of 90s hip hop in this set (Nas, Pete Rock) sprinkled in throughout the soul samples. Exile did a hell of a job producing this whole album… easily one of my favorites from last year. Unfortunately, they must not have made too many copies, cuz the album has been out of print for about a year now. I didn’t get a chance to pick it up when it first came out and now I can’t find it anywhere. If anyone has some spare copies of this CD laying around, hit us up. Both Thomas and I are looking for copies of this to add to our collections.”
