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 project to date. Infused with the electronic experimentation of the early 2000s L.A. beat scene, York covers a wide spectrum of sound, showcasing the production of 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. With the original 4LP pressing long out of print, we're celebrating the 10-year anniversary of York with the release of this new redesigned gatefold 2LP edition, available on limited multi-color vinyl while supplies last.
