Blu and Exile have reconnected for an EP titled True & Livin. The project is the duo’s first release since 2017’s In The Beginning: Before The Heavens, which featured songs from the original recording sessions of their classic debut Below The Heavens.

The longtime collaborators’ latest work includes three new tracks, along with instrumentals for each one.

Fashawn, Aloe Blacc, Choosey, Johaz, Cashus King and Blame One contribute to the posse cut “Power to the People,” which is also available as a clean edit and acapella.
