Audio: Blu - no york e mo work (rmx z 1​.​3)

Get this 9 track release while it’s hot, because the last time Blu released something through his Bandcamp page it lasted only a matter of hours.

Stream for free or pay $9 to download, above.

Audio: Sene - Blackboards (Feat. Blu)

Sene drops another (we brought you this last week) joint from his forthcoming project Brooklynknight, this time featuring the mighty Blu.

April 24th, when Brooklynknight arrives, can’t come quick enough.

Stream: Blu - UCLA (Prod. Madlib)

Out of absolutely nowhere, Blu releases a 15 track album produced by Madlib. Imagine the hype that could have been.

Guest vocals from the likes of Med, Jimetta Rose, Jack Spade, Bub Watts & Co$$. Stream and buy above.

(Apologies to the more sexually reserved of you for the naughty picture above, we just work with what we’re given).

Edit- As you’ll see, this was pulled fairly quickly. And Stones Throw are saying Madlib had nothing to do with it. Curiouser and curiouser. 

Video: Blu - DoinNothin’ (Feat. U-God)

From the nothing-short-of-brilliant NoYork! album. Expect to see that title again in the end of year ‘best of 2011’ Musikal list.

Download: Blu - The Greatest Guest Features Collection (4 Discs)

Bladdy ‘ell. This is a hell of a lot of good hip hop for free. And by ‘good’ I mean some of the greatest. Nobody does it like Blu does it. Cheers www.realhiphophead.com :

“Blu has established himself as one of Hip-Hop’s most promising young emcees. With six full-length albums, and countless other projects and mixtapes, Blu has been releasing quality music non-stop since he hit the scene in 2006 — whether on his own projects, or someone else’s. Every guest verse from Blu is a quality verse, often outstanding, and his catalog of features is far more vast than most Blu fans imagine. There are some true GEMS here, and some of my favorite tracks from Mr. Barnes. I’ve gathered all of his best features into a four-disc collection.

You’ll find collaborations with: J Dilla, The Roots, Exile, Co$$, Inspectah Deck, Phonte, Freddie Gibbs, Homeboy Sandman, MED, Flying Lotus, TiRon, Asher Roth, Sene, Fashawn, Miguel, Dela, Chief, Eligh, The Grouch, The Alchemist, Kid Cudi, Talib Kweli, Evidence, Theophilus London, Jesse Boykins III, Tanya Morgan, Joell Ortiz, Andy Allo, Diamond D, Jack Spade, Lupe Fiasco, Pac Div and more.

Stream: Blu - NoYork! (Full Album YouTube Stream)

So, the elusive Blu’s third album has leaked. It’s out there, but I’m a law abiding citizen and wouldn’t for a second dream of giving you the link.

What I will however give you, is the above. A YouTube playlist of the album in it’s entirety, as tweeted by Blu himself. 

As if a new Blu full-length release wasn’t mouth whetting enough, the record features production from Flying Lotus and Madlib, and guesting from U-God, J*DaVeY and Edan. 

Video: Blu - My Sunshine (Feat. Nia Andrews)

First drop from Blu’s long overdue and hugely anticipated NoYork! album. 

Featuring the beautiful voice of Nia Andrews and directed by Shafiq Husayn, consider Musikal’s appetite whetted.
