Download: Blu – “Jesus”
Posted: August 30, 2011 Filed under: Download | Tags: Blu Leave a comment »This Madlib-produced song is the title track from the best hip-hop album I’ve heard all year, Jesus from Blu. Messy, grimy, raw, the best of MF Doom’s early work and Madlib’s innovative production. Download here.

It’s a lovely, depressing rock tune for a lovely, sunny day from this talented singer/songwriter/frequent Modest Mouse tourmate.

The band now consists of Jerry Only on vocals and bass, Black Flag’s Dez Cadena on guitar, and Eric Arce on drums. Glenn Danzig must be spinning in his grave (which he probably has reconstructed in his Hollywood Hills mansion).
