Below The Heavens - K7
Description
The world discovered a true hip-hop classic with the release of Below the Heavens in 2007. And since Blu & Exile recently regained the rights to the album's master tapes, the duo is thrilled to partner with Fat Beats to release a special deluxe edition reissue.
Across the album's 15 tracks, Blu and Exile's shared intention shines through: to create a work that was entirely their own. Young, ambitious, and talented, they wanted to share their gifts with the world, not only to showcase their skills but also to reveal another facet of West Coast rap. The early to mid-2000s were a time of contrasts for Los Angeles hip-hop. The underground scene was bursting with creativity thanks to groups like Freestyle Fellowship and Living Legends, while to the rest of the world, gangsta rap remained the city's iconic image. Below the Heavens captures with rare precision a particular moment and place in the journey of this young duo, while remaining a timeless work. The album is both poignant and nostalgic, but also surprisingly modern in its themes and vocals. It is simply a classic.
