Available Here

Prod.by Flying Lotus, Samiyam, Dibiase, Daedelus, Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra), Exile, Madlib, etc. / feat. Edan, Jack Davey, U God (Wu-Tang Clan), Cashus King, etc. / limited edition 4LP of Blu's shelved major album! Experience an experiment turned masterpiece ... No York! Los Angeles emcee Blu's oft-delayed masterpiece has been the talk of the internet for years, but has never seen a proper retail release. Now, the album (which features U-God of Wu-Tang Clan, Pac Div, UNI, J*Davey, Tiron, Ayomari, and more) will be released in a deluxe vinyl edition, available in stores everywhere on March 26th, 2013. The vinyl comes in a limitededition four-LP set with three non-CD bonus tracks.

While Blu has turned in a number of critically acclaimed projects lately, NoYork (also known as York) is his most ambitious project to date. Applying timeless vocals over detailed, textured instrumentals, Blu seems to have placed himself at the forefront of a new genre, melding classic hip-hop lyricism with the experimentation of the L.A. beat scene. With contributions from beat icons like Flying Lotus, Exile, Shafiq Husayn of Sa Ra, Daedalus, Dibia$e, and Samiyam, the album boasts a unique sonic backdrop that sets it apart from his previous work. As Blu explains: "It's not a state, it's a state of mind."  A1. Doin Nothin (ft. U-God) (prod. Flying Lotus) A2. Everything's OK (ft. Jack Davey) (prod. Flying Lotus) B1. Everybody Nose (ft.

UPCOMING: Shuko - The Awakening EP (Ft. Blu & Kidaf) (JAKARTA)

Written By 1 - May 02 2013

Due out late May 2013, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Shuko is a German producer, born in 1981, who has been making music since 1999. He lives and works in an old factory building in a small village near Frankfurt unless he is in Paris, Berlin or New York working with your favorite artist. Shuko has produced music for a broad and impressive selection of artists such as Talib Kweli, Lil Wayne, Sexion d'Assaut, 1995, Cro, Kollegah and Casper. 

2013 started off great for the experienced Producer. Having released his well-received instrumental album “Sleepless”, the title seems to be a characterization that perfectly applies to Shuko. With help from California native Blu and the young lyricist Kidaf out of New York City Shuko is ready to drop a vocal version of “Sleepless” called “The Awakening EP”. The record lists five tracks with a perfect mix of lyrics as well as instrumentaltracks and therefor meets the needs of a large audience. Dope lyrics to vibe to and fresh tunes that ensure enough freedom for MCs looking to be creative. 

Track List & Soundclips:

01 Be Yourself feat. Blu clip
02 Air Vent 2 feat. Kidaf clip
03 The Awakening clip
04 Be Yourself (Instrumental) clip
05 Air Vent 2 (Instrumental) clip
