In Love from Yours Truly on Vimeo.

Exile is behind the boards of my favorite hip-hop album of the last 5 years and I’m not that old, so it’s a big deal. His latest solo project, Radio, was made entirely from samples pulled from LA’s crowded airwaves and is an exercise in patience and scrapbooking. In these 2 pieces -shot at SF’s Different Fur Studios- Ex speaks on getting his start finger drumming, coming up with the concept of his new record, how it was almost titled “Car Stereo,” and what making beats while plugged into the cigarette lighter on long road trips was like. He then follows that with a couple of rub-your-eyes-is-this reality re-creation of “In Love,” and another jam from Radio. –YoursTruly
