Dubcnn had the chance to connect with Los Angeles rapper Blu for an exclusive interview. The young artist brought us one of last year's freshest albums with "Below The Heavens", his collaboration album with producer Exile.

Blu, in this humoristic and light hearted interview, talks to us about "Below The Heavens" and the details behind its creation. We also discuss the possibility of future collaborations with Exile. We then get into his ongoing projects, such as "C.R.A.C." with Ta'Raach, Johnson & Jonson with Mainframe, "A Day Late and A Dollar Short" with Sene, and of course Blu's solo album.

Blu also talks about who he's feeling right now, who he came up listening to, and he doesn't give the cliche answers we're used to. We end off the interviews with a few words on his work with Talib Kweli and the state of Hip-Hop. To read or listen to the interview, click below:

Great interview Nima, probably my favorite this year so far. Blu & Exile reminds me of a westcoast Talib and Hi-Tek. Definitely I am looking forward to future projects from both of them in the future.

been after below the heavans for a while, i ordered it off amazon a while back and just got an email saying they cant get hold of it !

[We Fly High]

yeah its a pretty hard cd to track down nowadays. Barely any record stores carry it, due to either poor distribution and low quantity. Its just about zero stock at any online retailer too.

shame, such a great cd. below the heavens top 5 west coast cd this decade thus far.

that's funny, i just picked it up for the second time cause my first copy was scratched, found it in the local cd store out here for 10 bucks. well worth a second purchase!
