In this clip, Aloe Blacc speaks about being fired from his corporate job when they were downsizing and feeling like it was the best thing to happen to his music career. He explained that he was financially fine after being laid off due to savings and a severance package, leaving Aloe Blacc to focus solely on his music career. Big things started happening in his career after HBO picked up his song "I Need a Dollar" for the TV show "How to Make it in America."
Moving along, Aloe Blacc spoke about meeting Avicii and working on "Wake Me Up," which is the biggest song either has ever done. When speaking about his relationship with Avicii, Aloe Blacc explained that it was hard to develop a personal relationship given that Avicii was on tour for 300 days out of the year. However, he spoke about reaching out to Avicii to check on him, and Aloe Blacc spoke about seeing Avicii transition out of his hard partying, which you can hear more about above.
He should be bigger than he is now.
Fight Night on the PlayStation introduced me to Aloe 🔥🔥
He reminds me of John Legend for some reason like they can be cousins or something LOL
Years back he did a Spanish cover of Ordinary People that was Amazing!!
Yes I was thinking the same thing about him
Lmao I was thinking the exact same
They all look like Doug from Nickelodeon. Swizz Beats as well
@@ShawnMega yeah LOL 😆 and the Actor John Cusack, Oh and that blood niggah Boscoe100 who be on TH-cam they all look like Doug 😂😂😂
Alot of people don't know Aloe started as an underground rapper with Exile in the group Emanon. Alot of dope music before he blew up
Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens is a classic! And RIP Avicii my idol
Blu and Exile just released a new album 2 weeks ago called "Miles"
Anthony Truman thanks yeah just got it last night, I’m excited to listen
He introduced Blu to Exile?? Dope I never knew that!
Yup he was/is in a group with Exile called Emanon
I’ve met him before. He was very humble and nice. Much respect 👍🏿
That's my dude. He should've been more famous.
Fight night champion 🔥

@@UCUSmusic Not everything by Joe Rogan is good, and I'm sure he already knows about him. He's one of the top youtubers.
He has this Sam Cooke type of vibe
I Need A Dollar is a great record. Not going to lie though you wouldn't think that singing voice would come from him by just looking at him...lol.
Right
You expect urkel voice....
Shame on you...
He is so smart. His critical way of thinking really fascinates me.
Blu and Exile “Below The Heavens” sheeshhhh taking me back to HS days what a classic album
That album is a classic
They both just released a new album like 2 weeks ago
I had heard "I need a dollar" and liked it alot, but I was working and had to be at work at 0530 so I'm driving in the dark and "Wake me up " came on and I immediately fell in LOVE with that song... Its a Positive ENERGY jumpstart.
I've got an old Emanon EP somewhere that had some really good songs. "Blind Love", "What Can I Do", "What You Live For"... Soulful introspective rapper, really dope producer.
that's the Earplug EP (#3) they did for M Boogie's label. all 4 volumes of that series are good!
Vlad tryna throw shade.... it was AVICII's biggest song.... Aloe was nah nigga... it was mine too...
Levels ?
Wake me up is my favorite song ever and I am so glad he is also from Panama. This is dope. Very inspirational.
Bro i need a dollar is literally the greatest song ever the way it makes you feel is just awesome this man a legend always 😊
Holy wow 😮 I thought “I Need A Dollar “ was Bill Withers.
Going Through this right now. I'm a hard worker, Always have been for 20 Yrs. My company is cutting back and Spending money on BS, While The company is Falling Apart. They tried to expand too fast on things Customers Don't care about. Now we can't get anyone who wants to work. Everything is a big mess. I just need my Daughter to Graduate High School so I can find something else. The Struggle is Real. Even if you Do Everything you can and Are supposed to do. 🙏✝️
Blu and Exiles album was the first time I heard Aloe Blacc and Miguel. Classic underground album
First off. Blu & Exile make some of the dopest music. Secondly, if you haven't heard their "Below The Heavens" album, go listen to it please. Certified hip hop classic.
They just released a new album too
Blu & Exile is fire flames together... All their albums nice
