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 collection 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 projects to date. Infused with the electronic experimentation of the early 2000s L.A. beat scene "York" covers a wide spectrum of sound displaying the production of beat icons like Flying Lotus Madlib Exile Dibia$e Shafiq Husayn Daedalus Knxwledge and Samiyam. Melding world-class lyricism with sonic textures encompassing psych rock dub broken beats and jazz the album strikes a unique balance between golden era hip-hop and eclectic futurism. Several guest artists helped Blu realize this vision including U-God of Wu-Tang Clan Edan Sa-Ra Pac Div Suzi Analogue U-N-I J*Davey and more. With the original 4LP pressing long out of print Nature Sounds is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of "York" with the release of this new redesigned gatefold 2LP edition. - - Key Selling Points: - - -"York" features guest appearances by U-God of Wu-Tang Clan Edan Sa-Ra Pac Div Suzi Analogue U-N-I J*Davey Jimetta Rose TiRon & Ayomari Cashus King Nia Andrews and more. - -"York" includes production by Flying Lotus Madlib Exile Dibia$e Knxwledge Shafiq Husayn Daedalus and Samiyam. - -Includes the vinyl-only bonus tracks "Jazmin" "Jazzmen" and "Ronald Morgan".
