Blu & Exile-So(ul) Amazing
While the rest of his peers drop mixtapes, Blu has dropped three albums since
‘07, one of those being deemed a classic. The Cali native is still young and has a lot of learning and growing to do but he is on a fast track to wide recognition. Blu has already proven he is a very consistent emcee and at the top of his class. Backed by his super producer, Exile, Blu is the new face of underground hip hop and the return of true lyricism.
The video itself is simplistic, slightly coercing viewers to pay attention to the lyrics rather than the images.With wide camera shots and angles, the director shows us the beauty…and ugliness of Cali scenery. It’s reminiscent of a backpack hip hop video from the 90s but that’s Blu’s style. No flash, no glamour. Just raw images and an emcee.*Posted for Your Daily Crack
