BLU & EXILE – Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them
You can’t pass up a Blu and Exile album. Separate both are dynamic, but together they make instant classics like Below The Heavens. So you know when GiveMe My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them dropped, I had to get a copy. The vinyl album packaging looks ill and I’m thinking about picking that up as well. [...]

Exile – Population Control (remixed)
What did I just see?!? I’m not sure, but I know I have to watch it again. This video is crazy! Visually you can’t touch it with a 10-foot pole, and the track(s) are dope. My man Greg “The Dude” does great videos, but this is one side we don’t ever see often. He’s a [...]
Exile – In Love
Any video that has Exile showing you how he makes beats, you know I’ve watched it over and over. Hence the reason I’m just now posting it. I have the Radio album and have played it just as many times if not more than this video. The whole concept is great and to me sampling is [...]
Exile – Your Summer Song (Remix Ft. J. Mitchell)
When Exile released Radio, I ran out to get it. Radio is back and titled AM/FM. Every track is remixed or features a guest vocalist, you can’t go wrong with an Exile project. Your Summer Song, a remix featuring J. Mitchell, adds to how dope this track is. Music video director Jerome D. takes the [...]
Notes for Haiti

There are horrific events and disasters that hit home everyday, and when it passes for some, we must remember there are others still struggling through recovery and need our [...]

First off, let me give BIG thanks to Inka One, Ben Diggin, and One Man Jazz for making Boombox a staple in L.A. Second, the folks at Boombox know how to [...]
Fashawn – Boy Meets World prod. Exile
Boy Meets World is what you call an instant classic, without a doubt. Fashawn put out One Shot One Kill and I couldn’t stop rocking that. It was in heavy rotation on my iPod. Boy Meets World was going to drop a few months later, but I didn’t have to wait that long. Fashawn and [...]
UPDATE: Fashawn & Exile at Turntable Lab

They give everyone a greeting and bust into the tracks from the upcoming album Boy Meets World. To keep the party going Exile kicks out some crazy beats on the MPC in between [...]
