Meet Blu, the new leader of West Coast hip-hop. Since the days of Pharcyde, Freestyle Fellowship and Jurassic 5, few wordsmiths have grabbed the attention of listeners worldwide, but Blu?s delivery flows flawlessly while the content reflects the joy and pain of working class youth everywhere. Introduced to NWA and Public Enemy by his father, Blu later was captivated by Black Star, The Roots, and Common, creating a unique balance that is displayed in Blu?s personality and music. Blu?s first full length LP, below the heavens, pairs him with producer Exile on the Sound In Color imprint. His first single, Narrow Path, rocked stages across the world as fans begin to feel the impact of his music. Blu has performed alongside Slum Village, X-Clan, Platinum Pied Pipers, Lyrics Born, DJ Houseshoes, and others while participating in three hig profile tours alongside musical family members Ta?Raach, Aloe Blacc, and Exile. He also appears on the forthcoming Jazzanova album as a featured MC. All this buzz has fans salivating for new music, looking to put hope in the next emcee that will give them the same feeling as when they first heard Black Thought, Common, or Slum Village.
