Ordinarily, underground hip-hop tends to pass me by without me even noticing it's there. I have a suspicious nature and when someone refers to themselves as 'underground' I wonder what that is a euphemism for. More often than not it's an excuse to be misogynistic or glamourising crime but in this instance nothing could be farther from the truth. The album 'Jesus' by Blu is an extraordinarily subtle album and far more cerebral than most commercial rap. I've been listening to this album all morning and will continue this afternoon, I think it's that good.
