Blu – NoSleepForADay EP

Ahh shit… new Blu!? This has got to be a joke right? Nope… one of the Left Coast’s finest drops off a new project, via MySpace. I’m sure the length and absence of rhymes are gonna upset some folks, but I’m always up for new material. And just incase anyone wants some artwork for their iPod/Zune I threw something together really quick that should do the trick.

  2. yes, thanks. awesome.

  3. Fuckin Blu has the realest shit out that ive heard in a while. str8 up im a big ass hiphop head and have a pretty open mind but the shit the west coast has been doin lately… the new aftermath w/ bishop lamont’s “grow up”, “my opinion”, etc. … is gonna evolve hiphop. not almost anything on the east… thats all the same shit over n over lately… not hatin, just real talk. hope to see some more good shit from blu now that he signed… we’ll jus have to see…

  4. I thought I was gonna hear some spit from the dude *shrugs*

  5. FINALLY!!!!!!!
    I’m Hype!

  6. hellz yea f^cking finaly my favorite rappers favorite rapper good sh^t shake!!

  7. kyle you must be smoking crack if you think no one on the east coast does good music. which coast invented hip hop? yeah thats what i thought. the same shit over and over would be how i describe southern rappers (using rapper with subtle text to describe them)

  8. lmao I’m gassed. No rhymes. Fuck it, new Blu, even if it’s just beats is dope.

  9. is he gonna produce his own album himself…cuz i hope so he can make some smooth beats, and his flows on them are always on point

  10. Besides Below The Heavens is there any other shit like that from Blu?

  11. i always hear how this dude is dope spitter, but he never comes out with any music besides on the production tip

  12. hes in a group Jonson&Johnson with his dude mainframe and has an album with them, but dont expect below the heavens, its different, but blu definitely spits it…check out the songs hold on john and swear

  13. man can spit bars

  14. mediafire link ain’t working for me, can someone upload on a different server?

  15. wow no spit on this wtf! and besides his classic ass album Below The Heavens, Soul Mazing 1 and 2 and The Lifted EP are prolly his best.

  32. AWWWW SHIIIIIT thats my boy blu…i gotta download this asap

  33. fuck charles hamilton

  34. gotta love it. wish he dropped some rhymes on it though. i’m still wide eyed from that valentines day mixtape though.

  35. fuckin nice surprise, can listen to blu all day

  36. CAN SOMEBODY THROW THIS UP ON USERSHARE PLEASE

  37. if you want to find blu’s other stuff just go to rapidlibrary.com and youll find most of it. havnt heard that much production from blu but he produced besene from the patch adams ep that beat is fucking ill. theres just too much ill shit coming from the west no disrespect to any other region they have dope shit as well but the west is where its at.

  38. the cover is sick… thanks.

  39. Kinda sad that the instros are so short and there’s no rhymes but new Blu is all good nonetheless. Hopefully he’ll drop his debut before 09 ends. If not at least we’ll have another dope tape to listen to – i know he can’t leave a brother without Turkey on Christmas!

  40. WADDUP BLU!!!FUK ALL Y’ALL HATERS,U LOVE MEEEE!!!HAMILTONIZATION SOON TO REALLY SHUT EM UP,SAY IT AINT SOUL 2DOPEBOYZ!

  41. damn i look at that tracklist off soul mazing 1 and my tracks are all fucked up. i have the same ones but damn . can i get an official tracklist or a link to one?

  42. damn, no bars?

    well does anyone have that trak “Just Another Day” frm one of his real old EPs?? ive been trying 2 get that song 4 a longass time…

  43. can someone pleaaase get me a link to the Lifted EP?
    or atleast uploaded it and get me a link.
    I would be extremely greatful…..

  44. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS wait what no rhymes

  45. I still don’t see the hype in this dude..I listened to Below the Heavens to check him out, and I was bored..his rhymes are dull and lifeless..no hate, cause his lyricism is nice, but how he does…ehhh I wasn’t feeling it too much

  46. ^^U must not have listend to Soul Amazing, Below the Heavens pt1, or Soul Rising…those are amazing songs…either that or ur just not into soulful Hip Hop

    and yea the Get Lifted EP is the EP i was talking about…

  47. well I’m actually specifically into soulful hip hop..all I pretty much listen to is 9th Wonder co.

    but I might check those out..hopefully I won’t waste my time again.

  48. mad i downloaded this, Blu is nice on the Mic be he needs a WHOLE lot of work on the beats, but its definitely not bad for a 1st time(if thats even true), I personally think he should not have displayed this talen(or lack there of), some people might carry this over to his rhyming skills, which is not the case

  49. at infinit..http://rs472.rapidshare.com/files/161756554/Blu_-_Lifted_EP.zip

  50. I finally found his Below the Heavens LP which is bonkers!!! Im gonna give this a listen in a few.

  51. if anyone could post the johnson and jonson album download link that WORKS I’d GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

    you thought below the heavens was boring?????

    wow……

  63. Yeah i don’t even care if he’s not spitting. I’m just glad he’s still working on some shit. Beats are hot, now imagine if he flowed on ‘em…maybe he will.

  64. new blu say what? i’m moving right now too… so this might make it tolerable

  65. Thank GODleeBarnes.

  66. Thanks for the post, Shake. BELOW THE HEAVENS is instant vintage–one of the most thougtful and introspective albums in ANY genre that I’ve heard in quite some time. Exile seems to have that effect on the emcees that he works with, but Blu can definitely doesn’t need anyone to hold his hand in the booth. Since we like to label these cats and put them in a box, I’d say that he’s kinda like a West Coast [early] version of Common. The guy is just g-o-o-d, no matter what part of the map he’s from. If dude was from Delaware, he’d still be nice. As far as the instrumentals go, one of my favorites is “MrBlu2U”. The best recent thing that I’ve heard was his guest spot on the Tanya Morgan track “Morgan Blu”. For those of you that aren’t up on this guy, you’ll enjoy his stuff as you begin to more and more songs.

  69. @CL, he had a guest spot on MAGr’s song Laminated Looseleafs, and i believe and he kills it, as usuall
