Blu & Exile's first album as a duo, 2007's "Below the Heavens", took LA hip hop back to the place where Freestyle Fellowship, Jurassic 5, and The Pharcyde left off. The album received much critical acclaim, with many considering it one of the best releases of the year.
In 2011, with surprisingly little publicity, the duo released the long-awaited sequel, "Give Me Flowers While I Can Smell Them". Recording sessions took place over the course of 2009, however the duo decided to keep the release on hold due to bad audio quality and officially re-released the album on September 4, 2012 with a new updated track listing. The album features guest contributions from Fashawn, Homeboy Sandman, Johaz of Dag Savage, Black Spade of Hawthorne Headhunters, and ADAD.
In 2020 the duo comeback with a new album called Miles.

(君と歩いてく Yeah, yeah)
あともう少しだけ 夢の中にいたいような morning
寝落ちした weekend ソファの裏でアラームが calling
降り続いた雨も上がり 動き出した世界に
君からのメッセージ 指先で小さく贈るハート
愛しさ募らせて 会えるから
ありふれた Sunday, Monday, ordinary days 晴れ渡っていく
君と並んで birthday, summer holidays どんな季節も
そばにいて 心に触れていたいから
君と笑って泣いて過ごす everyday 掛けがえない
100 seasons
この手を離さないで
君と歩いてく
100 seasons
"いま何してるの?" 既読もつけずに taxi の back seat
いつも急だけど 呼び出せるフランクな距離が恋しい
好きな服を着て 流行りの歌で朝まで騒いだ
あの日々を throwback 笑顔だけ切り取った photograph
優しさが 充電されるように
この時が 強さに変わるよ
ありふれた Sunday, Monday, ordinary days 晴れ渡っていく
君と並んで birthday, summer holidays どんな季節も
そばにいて 心に触れていたいから
君と笑って泣いて過ごす everyday 掛けがえない
100 seasons
永遠など 無いことを知った
たくさんの当たり前に a grateful day
またこの場所から 星が見えるまで
何度でも空を見上げよう
Woah, woah, ho, hey
ありふれた Sunday, Monday (ooh) ordinary days 晴れ渡っていく
楽しみな Halloween, Christmas そして New Year どんな季節も
そばにいて 心に触れていたいから
君と笑って泣いて過ごす everyday 掛けがえない
100 seasons
Hey, yeah
この手を離さないで
君と歩いてく 100 seasons (100 seasons)
もう一度未来描いて
君と歩いてく 100 seasons
Seasons by Blu & Exile is a heartfelt song about the seasons of life and the significance of relationships throughout them. The first verse describes the singer's desire to stay in their dream state, as they struggle to leave the comfort of their dreams and face reality. The second line of the verse reveals a sense of urgency as the singer describes a weekend spent sleeping on the couch, only to be forced out of their comfort zone by an alarm. However, the world outside is bustling with life, and the singer is greeted with a message from their significant other, a small but impactful gesture that fills them with joy.
The song's chorus focuses on the idea that no matter the season or the day, the singer wants to be with their loved one. They see the beauty in every day, even the ordinary ones, because being with their partner makes it special. They want to laugh, cry and experience every moment together. The second verse takes us down memory lane to the past experiences shared by the couple, the fun they had, and the cherished moments they captured in photographs. The verse highlights the power of memories in relationships and how they can hold the bond together during moments of separation.
Blu & Exile take us through the transition of how love matures and deepens over time, acknowledging seasons of growth and seasons of stagnation. The bridge of the song acknowledges that nothing lasts forever, that wisdom comes with knowing that the good things don't last forever, and one should not take their precious moments with loved ones for granted.
Overall, the song Seasons celebrates relationships, the mundane and the extraordinary, the good and the bad times, as the couple journeys through "100 seasons" together, side by side.

Blu and Nas are hands down my all time favorites!!! Mainly all i listen to. I dont know where to begin. Their lyricism is beyond beautiful. Its ineffable!!!
Jonathan Barnes
Daniel Serrano all of y’all made my day with these comments we have similar taste obviously we have learned and been inspired by their lyrics and Lyricism through their songwriting kind of like modern day philosophers. I am not a good computer savvy type of guys we should make a channel dedicated to BLU music videos, interviews, rarities etc. If anyone reads this can make a complete everything BLU channel please do it ASAP I will be eternally grateful blessings! One Love!
Jonathan Barnes
