After impressing us to no end with “Nina” and “Debbie“, today ANTHM blesses us with his Handful of Dust EP produced in its entirety by Blu aka GodleeBarnes. [...]

The groovy Blu, MED, Jimetta Rose and Madlib collaboration “Burgundy Whip” gets a smooth visual makeover from director Paul Demont who looks like he took a cue from Polaroid’s recent Instagram team-up with Socialmatic. Madlib produces some of the best cruising music in the business and that’s exactly what’s happening in this video as MED [...]

It’s only been two days since ANTHM hit us with the first release “Nina” from his joint project Handful Of Dust with Cali emcee/producer Blu (appearing as Godleebarnes), but the New York rhymer delivers an uptempo and jazzy single today to celebrate his little sister’s birthday. [...]

New York emcee ANTHM is continuing on top form from last year and steadily releasing some real quality music. The ep Joy & Pain was one of my favourite musical releases of 2012 and the rapper started February with two reworks – hotly tipped Joey Bada$$‘s “Waves” and A$AP Rocky‘s “1 Train” – to keep [...]

If someone were to ask me who the most underrated rapper to emerge in the last decade is, Co$$ would undoubtedly be in my top three. Ahead of a dropping a new single entitled “Black Hockey Players” featuring Blu, Ras Kass and Planet Asia, the Leimert Park rapper has released She Love Me, She Loves Me [...]

Madlib, MED and Blu‘s collective EP The Burgundy is already available in vinyl form but it will also drop this Friday digitally. To remind you of how dope the project will be, the good folks at Stones Throw deliver a Madlib produced heater called “Burgundy Whip” to convince a purchase is necessary. [...]

California beat wizard Madlib has worked with emcees Blu and MED on many occasions, but The Burgundy EP will mark the first time the three hip-hop stalwarts have collaborated exclusively on an EP project. [...]

After dropping off the audio now we get the official video for the extremely dope posse cut “Thelonius King”. Nicolas Heller handles the art house style direction duties with aplomb, lacing the talented emcees with their lyrics as they speak. Frequent colour saturation stains the screen as Blu, R.A. The Rugged Man and Tristate present [...]

Nature Sounds has unleashed a monster for the backpack crowd with “Thelonius King,” featuring three of the label’s sharper emcees – Blu, R.A. The Rugged Man and Tristate of Durag Dynasty – as Bombay provides the canvas for the collaboration, and it sounds like a gritty Madlib production. [...]

Blu drops a visual for “One The Porch“, one of the most soulful tracks from last year’s short but mostly sweet J E S U S LP. [...]
