Blu – HerFavoriteColo(u)r.

HerFavoriteColo(u)r is an EP from the darling of the underground hip-hop scene,  Blu. It’s entirely self-produced, relying predominantly on jazz samples. But don’t think you’re getting a fully developed Blu album; HerFav is only 30 minutes long and half of it is instrumentals. It’s unpolished, but not in a bad way. It plays almost like a jam session.

Also, I have a newfound respect for Blu because the intro samples The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, one of my all-time favorite movies.

Update: Well this came out of nowhere. Nature Sounds has announced that they’re re-releasing Her Favorite Colo(u)r on August 24. The album, which has been mixed and mastered, will come with The Godlee Barnes LP as a bonus disc, which also initially saw release as a low quality download about a year ago. Here’s a song from the mastered Her Fav and yup, it’s still dope. Blu’s long-delayed album on Warner Bros. is slated to drop next year, but it’s more likely that Blu will quietly throw half an unfinished version of it on his Tumblr before then.

Seriously, this guy murdered the rap game in 2007 and he’s been missing ever since he signed with fucking Warner Bros. It’s like major labels don’t know what to do with talented artists.
