This has been floating the pirate’s gulf and sitting on my PC since January… now forgive my pridefulness, but I’ve been assured I was one of the first cats (in my general vicinity) to thrust Blu & Exile’s ‘Below The Heavens’ (the definitive sleeper hit of 2007 Hip-Hop’s bland caboodle) hither and thither when nobody was hearing it early on (in the days before Your Mum when I would have to manoeuvre low-key with these links like I was pushin’ weight).
So I’d like to say I’m doing the honours on this one, but I simply found the 21 track promo neither as stirring nor as deeply channelled as Blu’s first emcee/producer alliance offering thus I’m preserving the fireworks just yet… maybe the absolute final product will deliver when it drops September 23rd.
