York (CD)

Info Experience an experiment turned masterpiece…York.  Originally titled NoYork and slated to be the major label debut from acclaimed Los Angeles emcee Blu, this much-discussed album was eventually renamed and (finally) released through Nature Sounds in 2013.  The result was a certified classic that remains one of Blu's most ambitious project to date.  Infused with the electro experimentation of the early 2000s L.A. beat scene, York covers a wide spectrum of sound, with production by beat icons like Flying Lotus, Exile, Madlib, Dibia$e, Shafiq Husayn, Daedalus, and Samiyam.  Melding world-class lyricism with sonic textures encompassing psych rock, dub, broken beats, and jazz, the album strikes a unique balance between golden era hip-hop and eclectic futurism. This CD release includes 12-page booklet and exclusive mini-poster. Tracklist 1. Doin Nothin (feat. U-God) 2. Everything OK (feat. Jack Davey) 3. Everybody Nose (feat. Sa-Ra and Nola Darling) 4. Above Crenshaw (feat. Cashus King)
