Cheetah In The City

2016 release. Hot off collaborations with Nottz (Titans in the Flesh EP) and Madlib (Bad Neighbor LP), SoCal ambassador Blu has teamed up with the Paris-based production team Union Analogtronics (OJ & Gold) to unleash a full length album: Cheetah In The City. Featuring Dam-Funk, Phat Kat, Frank N Dank, and others, the album signifies a stylistic sea change for Blu, best known for his dusty, soul sampling collaborations with Exile (Below the Heavens) and his own introspective opuses (Her Favorite Colour, Good to be Home, York!). Rippling with 808s and cinematic strings, Cheetah In The City is an organic evolution from the synth-soaked, futuristic sound of Analogtronics, Union's 2012 Fat Beats Records debut album featuring Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Elzhi, Guilty Simpson, and more.
