U-N-I x Ro Blvd: A (2)Dope FreEP


ArtByShake. Click to enlarge.

The first time I came across Y-O and Thurzday – collectively known as U-N-I – it was in August 2007, roughly two months before this site started (and, coincidentally enough, a week before I first met Shake) at the Los Angeles leg of the Sneaker Pimps event, where they performed their then-bubbling cut “K.R.E.A.M.” One of my earliest posts here would become their full-length LP Fried Chicken & Watermelon, which stayed in constant rotation when I got it.

When I interviewed them a few months later, the two mentioned they were working on a project called A Love Supreme, entirely produced by a local beatsmith, Ro Blvd. Fast forward now, and they’re prepping their first retail project, A Love Supreme 2.0, dropping tomorrow.

This is where this post comes in. Continuing on with my “one artist, one producer” series (see: Outasight & D/WILL), I’ve decided on a whim to compile a few tracks that spotlight U-N-I and Ro Blvd’s cohesion, as well as a couple DJ-free “bonus tracks” that people may have missed when they respectively dropped. Tracklist and link down bottom.

1. The Launch
2. Start My Day f. H.O.P.E.
3. My Life
4. Pulp Fiction Part 1 f. Fashawn
5. Beautiful Day (Extended Video Version)*
6. Yesterday (prod. Ski Team)*
7. Cali Soul f. H.O.P.E. & Shawn Jackson*

* denotes bonus tracks

  10. nice post meka, I agree 100% about the 1 producer cohesion that you’re speaking of. A lot of great albums have the MC(s) and then the Producer. Its a good formula, Blu & Exile is a good example

  14. Try downloading again, just listened to the whole thing and its fine.

    Where can I get Love Supreme 2.0?

    Vigilante said this on March 9th, 2010 at 1:16 am

  15. man love supreme 2.0 is not hot to me. only because the beats are fuggin flipped to the point where they sound so wack. you are better off with the original free album. same lyrics. better beats. but that land of the kings remix is piff I must admit. only song I enjoyed on the thing.
