Exile: Baker’s Dozen – Exile Vinyl LP

Baker’s Dozen is a vinyl series curated by Fat Beats Records, and the 8th installment features LA producer EXILE. Regarding his creative process, he says “get lost in the music, stay thankful, and remember the feeling of why you do this. That is my process.” From expertly chopped samples to loose, stuttering drum programming, the hip-hop indebted instrumentals certainly induce head nods- check out “Bopwiddit’,” the laid-back jazz vibes of “Bravery,” or the warm, soothing “Hawaiian Sofa King.”
