Blu & Nottz - Marcus Garvey (feat. Shad + Quelle Chris)

An independent hip-hop fixture for more than 15 years, Los Angeles emcee Blu is back with another project alongside famed producer Nottz. A follow-up to the 2018 classic "Gods In The Spirit, Titans In The Flesh", the new album "Afrika" finds Blu reconnecting with his ancestral roots over thunderous Nottz production. The exultant lead single "Marcus Garvey” features insightful guest verses from Shad and Quelle Chris. "Afrika" is now available worldwide on digital outlets, CD, and limited-edition colored vinyl.

Blu & Nottz Releasing Afrika Album Share Preview With Marcus Garvey Single

Los Angeles independent hip-hop icon Blu is releasing a joint album with producer Nottz this Friday. Afrika celebrates the history and culture of the continent and Blu's connection to his ancestral home. "Marcus Garvey," featuring Canadian and Detroit rappers Shad and Quelle Chris, is the first single to drop from the project. The reference to Garvey and his UNIA movement that advocated for Black Americans to migrate to Africa is the origin of their "Back To Africa" chant. The trio raps about the benefits of a mass motherland return over Nottz's hard-slapping percussive beats embedded with samples of James Brown. Blu explains, 

“These are lyrics that I needed to express to those who support my music, so they can hold with them what I hold most important to who I am, African. I hope this project inspires many others to speak on the father and home of humanity, Afrika.” 

Blu and Nottz have previously collaborated on the Gods In The Spirits EP and the Titans In The Flesh EP. Afrika will be released Friday, but CDs and limited edition colored vinyl can be pre-ordered now. Blu released another collaboration earlier this year, Bad News With Real Bad Man.

FATLIP & BLU "LIVE FROM THE END OF THE WORLD" LP

As a member of seminal group The Pharcyde, Fatlip helped expand the boundaries of the 1990s L.A. rap scene, releasing classic albums steeped in eccentric creative excursions. Following in those footsteps, acclaimed emcee Blu has been at the forefront of the independent hip-hop landscape since the late 2000s, narrating the full range of experience in the City of Angels with impressive lyrical ingenuity. These two artists recently linked up for the joint album Live From The End Of The World, a dazzling rhyme whirlwind boasting an overwhelming collection of West Coast talent, including Del The Funky Homosapien, Gift Of Gab, MC Eiht, and Ras Kass, along with members of Jurassic 5, Tha Alkaholiks, Souls Of Mischief, Freestyle Fellowship, and Digital Underground. Featuring production by Madlib, Nottz, Sa-Ra, Knxwledge, and Exile, the album is now available on vinyl for the first time ever. This deluxe physical release includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks featuring Slimkid3 (of The Pharcyde) and Pigeon John.
