Ever since he burst onto the scene in 2007 with the widely acclaimed Exile collaboration Below The Heavens- L.A. rapper Blu has been hailed as the most promising up-and-comer hip-hop has seen in years. With his cool L.A. demeanor and intricate lyrical musings Blu blew a breath of fresh air into a stale SoCal hip-hop scene leading hip-hop tastemakers like HipHopDX and XXL to name him one of the genre's top newcomers. After releasing further collaborations with Detroit's Ta'Raach and L.A. producer Mainframe Blu attracted the attention of Warner Brothers which will release his first major label album later this year. Lately the internet has been buzzing about Her Favorite Colo(u)r his unreleased debut EP. Initially available as a low-quality download from Blu's myspace HFC is finally mixed and mastered and will be in stores everywhere on April 19 2011. With love-themed movie quotes drifting in and out and Blu's heartbreak raps sitting atop his own mellow production HFC is the most distinct and cohesive project Blu has released to date.
