Blu

Just recently did a little digging into Blu’s solo work. If you don't know Blu, you should. Coming out of Los Angeles, he is well known for his laid-back, personal approach to hip-hop, and his chill beats. He is as prolific a producer as he is an MC. He has a lot of material, probably more than 200+ tracks he's been involved in during his short music career. Loved his collab with Exile (Under The Heavens), so I figured his solo stuff would be more of the same. Luckily I was right. I love jazz influenced hip-hop, and this is a perfect example of it. This cut is from one of his first projects, dropped unexpectedly on Valentine's Day a few years ago, named "Her Favorite Colo(u)r.". The song's called Amnesia, and features an amazing sample from Billie Holiday.
