Wild Wild West – Blu Prod. Evidence
California Dreamin’ with a Hip-Hop Twist: Blu Drops “Wild Wild West”
California lyricist Blu has a new track scorching the airwaves, and it’s a sun-drenched dose of West Coast hip-hop with a bite. “Wild Wild West,” produced by the revered Evidence, dropped on July, and it’s already generating a buzz in the underground scene.
Sure, the sunshine might be there, but Blu paints a picture of the Golden State’s underbelly – the grit, the struggle, the realities that simmer beneath the palm trees. His rhymes flow effortlessly over Evidence’s “gorgeous and tender” production, a surprising yet undeniably effective combination that some critics are calling a “true recipe for greatness.”
The track serves as a tantalizing appetizer for Blu’s upcoming album, aptly titled “Los Angeles.” This suggests a deeper dive into the complexities of life in the City of Angels, a theme that’s sure to resonate with anyone who’s ever navigated the sun-kissed chaos of California.
“Wild Wild West” is a testament to the enduring talent of both Blu and Evidence. Blu’s ability to spin compelling narratives through his rhymes is on full display here, while Evidence’s production adds layers of depth and texture to the track.
This collaboration between two West Coast veterans has sent ripples of excitement through the hip-hop community, and with good reason. So, whether you’re a die-hard fan of California rap or simply looking for a fresh dose of lyrical fire, “Wild Wild West” is a must-listen.
Quotable Lyrics
I used to live in Hawthorne, off 135th Street,
Slauson, right off 54th Street,
Crenshaw, where Nipsey run the city,
Roll with me where the homies throw up, rolling 60s
