Blu- Her Favorite Colour

Here's a dope mixtape Blu put out on Valentine's Day. Blu is probably the nicest emcee's to come out in the past couple years. Props to my brother Tony for reminding me about this. There are a lot of dope jazz samples on this one. There's one cut in particular, "Amnesia," that samples a real smooth Billie Holiday song.... real nice. This is perfect for some rainy day weather.... enjoy

Detroit Love Dilla (A Tribute To Jay Dee)

Today, 3 years ago, we lost a legend. I am truly grateful for his contribution to the hip hop world. He will forever be known as the greatest Producer of all time. Similar to how Jazz musicians did back in the day, Dilla is one of the only dudes who can alter moods with his beats. There will never be another Dilla. Enjoy this tribute video. Peace...
