Blu-Her Favorite Colo(u)r Mixtape
In the last year, Blu has gone from “impressive young talent” to one of my favorite rappers working. I haven’t heard the entirety of his latest mixtape, Her Favorite Colo(u)r, as it just dropped on his Myspace page last night. But what I have heard is stellar–ranking among the finest work he’s done. Listen to “Amnesia,” complete with buoyant Billie Holiday sample, and try to argue differently.

Not exactly my type of thing, and I actually think it could be better without the vocal sample, but I have to admit that he is quite good.

anything by this guy is good, i just hope i dont wait too long to hear his next album with exile, “below the heavens” remains on heavy rotation on my IPOD.

best mixtape i’ve heard so far this year. some creative west coast shit here but i hope he puts together a proper album soon and doesn’t get stuck in mixtape purgatory.

I downloaded this yesterday and played for friends while we lounged, had beers, and at chinese food. The food was ok. The music was awesome. I have a feeling I’m going to be playing this at least all weekend.

This is cool…the sample work is lovely enough to distract - slightly - from the vocal though I think…?
