Heard a lot about him but have only heard a few joints by him. What should I listen to by him?
 
He's the best out of the "XXL freshman 10" and below the heavans with exile is amazing like the above members have posted.
 
youre missing out big time

dude is serious

one the freshest MCs i've heard in a long time
 
dl as much as you can
and buy as much on itunes as you can
 
blue & exile- below the heavens
johnson & jonson- johnson & jonson
blu(e)- HerFavoriteColo(u)r.
Blu- Soul Amazing 1 & 2
Crac- The piece talks (which sucks)
 
He is the only one of the XXL freshman I don't really bump. Wale is at the top IMO

That thread has all the info you need. Since then he also came out with Soul Amazing Mixtape 2 as well as the HerFavoriteColour mixtape which was basically acollection of the free myspace tracks he's been releasing the last year and a half.

You obviously should start with Below The Heavens, after that I recommend both Soul Amazing Mixtapes.

Also don't be discouraged from listening to The Piece Talks, it's different and best absorbed while under the influence but Blu comes correct,Ta'raach on the other hand is ehhh. Still a couple of dope tracks though.

Also for any LA/IE heads, Blu is performing (with Cudi I think) at the Claremont McKenna colleges next Saturday.

Naw both So Amazing Mixtapes are heat.

Also here's a remix of Flying Lotus' Gng Bng, I'm not really a FlyLo fan, dude always has too much going on with his beats but this is nice.

(mods this is a FREE track from Blu's myspace page, I'm enjoying my stay, please don't ban me)

yo whats good with this?

tickets? ...date...time? if you have the info its appreciated i checked his myspace it didnt have much info
 
If you're a true hip-hop head - it's obvious that Blu is the best pure lyricist out off the XXL covers.

His style is pretty underground though so his music might not appeal to everyone.

I don't really have any info, I just know it starts at 8 on saturday, I'm pretty familiar with their campus so I think I have a good idea of whereit's going to be at. Probably gonna be pretty cheap too ($5-10). If I hear any concrete info I'll post it here.
