Blu isn’t one to mince words on record. The Los Angeles-based emcee is as quick-witted as he is ruthless on the mic, which he’s proven time and time again solo (Her Favorite Color) and with others (last year’s Madlib/MED collab Bad Neighbor). He and Virginia-based producer Nottz put out a potent project called Gods In The Spirit back in 2013 and the followup Titans In The Flesh is all the proof you need that these two are one of rap’s best duos.

“Titan in the flesh means being bigger than you are, bigger than human,” Blu told WatchLOUD. The thumping intro track “The Truth” is a testament to that, with Blu’s bars towing the line between introspective and proclamation. “The inspiration for “The Truth” came directly from mythology,” he continued. “When I was writing it, I made sure to put enough imaginative narrative in it so I could reflect what goes on in mythology. It is the truth and it isn’t the truth.”

Blu explains his ties to Los Angeles, science and religion, and how a trip to Africa changed his perspective in the latest installment of “Verse Behavior.”
