    [Audio] Shuko ft. Blu – “Be You”

    Martin Bauman
    This one's definitely getting heavy spins for the next while. German producer Shuko has teamed up with everyone's favourite (at least my favourite) emcee Blu for "Be You", an irresistible track marking another solid performance from the Los Angeles emcee. The track comes as part of Shuko's latest EP, The Awakening. On "Be You", Shuko delivers a light-hearted, pitched-up soul production as Blu does what he does best. Now, if only we could get an album's worth of songs like this again. Stream and purchase "Be You" below.

    [EP] ANTHM – “Handful of Dust”

    Martin Bauman
    Not a bad way to start the morning! ANTHM just released his Handful of Dust EP, produced entirely by Blu (as GODleeBarnes). Running 7 tracks long, the EP gets off to a smooth, lyrically dense start on "Freefall", followed by "Nina" and "Low Class". The head-nodding "Self Esteem" is next, leading into the introspective interlude "imagine nation", followed by "Debbie". Finally, the EP comes to a close on the reflective outro "Still Dreaming". Handful of Dust doesn't disappoint, as Ant provides a strong follow-up to Joy & Pain and Blu showcases his growth on the production tip. Stream and pay what you can for Handful of Dust below.

For more on ANTHM, read our interview with him. Stream/download "Debbie" and read what Ant had to say about the track below.
    "I picked this as my second release to celebrate my sister on her birthday. She turns 11 today. Anyone who has ever been close to me knows that we have a special relationship. It runs deep. I hope this record remains as timeless in her life as our bond will be. Happy birthday, Debbie." - ANTHM

    [Artwork] ANTHM – “Handful of Dust”

    Martin Bauman
    ANTHM just released the artwork for his upcoming Handful of Dust EP. If you've been following the Manhattan emcee on TCUS, you'll know how excited I am for this project. His latest work features production by Blu, who's proved his production skills in the past on Sene's A Day Late & A Dollar Short. What's got me even more excited, however, is the speculation of another collaboration between ANTHM, Blu, and Sene:
    If you haven't checked out their previous collaboration, give "Young Leaders" a listen. For more on ANTHM, be sure to check out our interview with him.
