Blu
Enigmatic L.A. emcee Blu is set to hit us with his first official double album, Good To Be Home, on May 20th via Nature Sounds/New World Color. The album is described as “an unapologetic celebration of Los Angeles music and culture,” and Blu himself boldly states that “This is my most defining record ever.” We already got a listen to the LP’s first single, “The West,” now we dive into the album’s aesthetic and feature spots with the release of the track list and album artwork. Don’t know who’s art it is, but I’m loving the cover (already pre-ordered the poster) and glancing at the track list you’ll see that Blu has features from Fashawn, Like & BeYoung (Pac Div), Co$$, Imani (The Pharcyde), Prodigy, Thurz, Casey Veggies, MED, Oh No, Alchemist, Evidence, Krondon, and many more. Get the full track list, below, and head to Nature Sounds to pre-order the impressively packaged deluxe edition bundle. UPDATE: Cali based artist, Joseph Martinez, is responsible for the artwork, check dude out, he's dope.
