When I first heard Blu was going to be knocking out a double album, I couldn’t help but feel skeptical. Not because of Blu, but simply the fact that it has been incredibly rare in the past for an artist of any caliber to drop a double album worth listening to front to back. With that said, there has been a pretty large gap between official full-length projects from Blu, so there probably isn’t a shortage of quality tunes in his catalog.
Today, after peeping the full track listing, I am convinced Blu has put more thought and strategy into this project than perhaps anything he has released to date. The list of features is top notch, boasting looks from the likes of Fashawn, Pac Div, Pharcyde, LMNO, Prodigy, Thurz, Casey Veggies, MED, Oh No, Alchemist, Evidence and much more. Not only that, but the product and packaging looks kick ass. Check out that vinyl packing above.
