Who is Blu?
Blu is a 25 year old rapper from California. XXL recently named him one of the Top 10 Freshmen of 09'. Not sure exactly how they define freshman, since to date, he has released three full-length albums, one under the name Blu, one with the group C.R.A.C. Knuckles, and one with Johnson & Johnson.
He just released a mixtape entitled HerFavoriteColo(u)r which can be found via zShare and Mediafire
HerFavoriteColo(u)r is basically a laid-back, hip-hop pastiche of Billie Holiday, Wes Anderson, Charlie Kaufman, Ella Fitzgerald, Radiohead, among other well-chosen source material.
This is definitely some of the freshest production and rhyming I've heard in a while. Also, no autotune or Lil Wayne, which is turning out to be a major plus.

KRIL RADIO
Hi guys, just wanted to let everyone know that the cool dudes/dudettes from The Red River have a radio station which can be accessed via the internet, making it a podcast? What, I don't know how the internet works these days... it all seems ready to implode on itself from being too big. OH WELL.

Happy Melted City
Boy, the title of this blog should be something like, Black Moth Super Rainbow stand-in for twitter. Too bad suckaz! It ain't!...Well, for now anyway... Beta Carnage, the guy responsible for the visuals in the Tobacco dvd made a video for "Happy Melted City," a "dope" track off of Bonus Drippers that is a perfect visual representation of how you should feel inside while listening to this. It's so trippy, especially the part where a father and son somehow gave the mom the idea it was okay for her to play football with them, trippin hard yo.
