Blu recently came to my attention via my old friend C.McD, who hit me up the other day reminding me that this significant artist was missing from the PrimaMag list.
I first heard the sounds of Blu on the 10 Deep "The New Deal" Mixtape, but little did I know this kid had such an old soul sound. On his mixtape "Her Favorite Colo(u)r" he samples of Billie Holiday on the track "Amnesia", which is by far one of my favorite tracks on the mixtape. In 2007 he came out with an album title "Below the Heavens" which is also of high quality.
Oh, and I just discovered this morning that he had a show last night at BLVD on Bowery for a CMJ showcase. Damn, I walked right past this venue last night, and had no idea. Day late, dolla short.
