It Seems The Sky Is Blu

I first heard this chap when i was sent a couple of tunes by a good friend of mine. Shamefully, i had never even heard of him. But with the lack of promo he seems to do word of mouth appears to be his best weapon.
i first got what i think is his debut, bar a few 12inches and typical dues paying mix tapes and was instantly infatuated with his ability to be sentimental but not cliche and rugged but without the bravado which plagues the current rap scene.

Below The Heavens is a straight forward 5/5... nuff said

Johnson & Johnson (Blu & Mainframe) - Powders & Oils is a very strong 4/5 Unfortunately when listening you cant help but occasionally wishing mainframe would ease off and let blu shine. Not to say Mainframe is wack by any means. Its just all about Blu.

There are a couple of others flying around also. One of which i managed to get a copy of today but i haven't had a chance to really session it yet so maybe, it will feature at a later date.

Oh yeah these links were both jacked from "Hectic's Hip-Hop Thread". A great source for global underground hip hop.
