We spent a lot of time with Blu last week while he was in town for Digital Freshness and a Closed Session. Blu talked to us a lot about his forthcoming LP, NoYork!, and what he is looking to do musically with his Warner Bros. debut. There is actually a line in the Closed Sessions song we recorded (prod. by DJ Babu) in which Blu raps, “we on some other my brother, you didn’t know?” I’ve listened to the song countless times already, and it is always that line that sticks out the most and even summarizes the whole weekend. Blu’s set at Digital Freshness was heavily NoYork! and even threw off some of the audience members in attendance. The new music brings in a heavy electric feel, and also includes vocal effects on Blu’s voice adding distortion and echo. In this interview with HardknockTV, Blu goes deeper into the new album, the production wave he is currently riding, as well as multiple projects he has in the stash including a follow-up to Below The Heavens with Exile.
