Myka 9 & Blu – ‘God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools’ album

 

Myka 9 + Blu: New Joint Album God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools Out Now, Featuring Guests The Pharcyde + Freestyle Fellowship + Exile + Planet Asia + A-F-R-O + More Uniting two generations of electric Los Angeles lyricism, influential Freestyle Fellowship emcee Myka 9 is joining forces with independent hip-hop icon Blu for the collaborative album God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools.

Now available worldwide on digital outlets, CD, and vinyl, the collection is entirely produced by Mono En Stereo, an acclaimed NYC beatsmith known for his work with Action Bronson, De La Soul, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Your Old Droog, Homeboy Sandman, Aesop Rock, Fly Anakin, and more.

“All three of us uniting on this project is definitely lightning in a bottle,” says Blu. With an epic posse cut uniting Freestyle Fellowship and The Pharcyde plus appearances by Planet Asia, A-F-R-O, Exile, Abstract Rude, and more, God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools is an exhilarating collage of rap brilliance. This historic collaboration is steeped in a rich musical history, as Myka 9’s groundbreaking work in the 1990s was a clear inspiration for the intricate rhymes that propelled Blu to prominence in the late 2000s.

“Working with Myka was surreal,” Blu explains. “He is so untouchable lyrically, and his veteran status predates my catalog by 16 years.” With a list of contributors that charts the evolution of West Coast underground hip-hop over the past three decades, God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools is a truly special event.

An official music video is now available for the latest single “Park Bench”, and the album is also available in a limited deluxe edition set featuring colored vinyl, a bonus 7″ flexi, and an official lyric book.
