Exile (born Alex Manfredi, in San Diego, California) is an American hip hop DJ, producer and occasional rapper. His first record appearances came as a member of hip hop duo Emanon alongside rapper Aloe Blacc. They released various singles beginning with 1998's "P.S.I." before releasing their debut album, Anon & On. After 2002, Exile went on to release one more Emanon album well as a solo album, 2006's Dirty Science, and another collaborative effort, 2007's Below the Heavens. The latter album was critically acclaimed for Exile's productions and raps by new artist Blu. Exile's guest production work with artists including Mobb Deep, Ghostface Killah and Jurassic 5 is also renowned. He claims his influences to be contemporary producers J Dilla, Jon Brion and Madlib.[1] He is known for "coarsely chopped beats" that give off "laid back soulful vibes."[2]
