Blu & Shafiq Husayn Drop Off A Hazy Three-Pack With Their “Roll Up” EP
Blu, one of the most talented rappers when it comes to both flow and writing, is back with a new trio of cuts for us. 2024 has proven to be a busy one already, as the Los Angeles California artist has dropped a single, an EP, and a collaborative album. Going back to that EP for a second, that was also a team effort. He worked with producer Shafiq Husayn to bring along We Bang. Similar to Blu and Shafiq’s newest set of tracks, Roll Up, We Bang included three recordings as well.
According to Blu and Nature Sounds’ Instagram accounts, both of these small care packages will be a part of something larger. “Blu and Shafiq Husayn are now announcing Out Of The Blue, a new album set for release on March 29th.” This will mark their second tape together, going back to the 2018 mixtape The Blueprint. While “We Bang” was the lead single, that drop also had its instrumental and “Brains Blue” paired with it.

Listen To Roll Up By Blu & Shafiq Husayn
“Roll Up” does the same thing, as Blu and Shafiq have given us “Very Amazing” too. The first of the two is very chill with excellent rhymes from Blu over a bassy beat. “Very Amazing” is a different vibe, as the instrumental is more scattered and unorthodox. Be sure to check out the tracks above.

Anderson .Paak Teams Up With Shafiq Husayn On The Quirky ‘Crush You’ From Husayn’s New Album, ‘So Gold’
Anderson .Paak has reunited with Shafiq Husayn for the new song “Crush You,” the second single from Husayn’s upcoming album, So Gold. The quirkily soulful track features Husayn’s signature funk-influenced production and playful, flirty singing from Paak. The duo previously teamed up on the 2014 track “It’s Better For You” from Husayn’s EP of the same name.
The duo’s association even precedes that, as .Paak has credited Husayn with helping him get back on his feet after he was let go from his job on a marijuana farm. Shafiq let Anderson’s family stay with him and hired him as an assistant, writer, and producer. Now, Andy’s returning the favor, lending a bit of the star power he’s acquired since to his fellow industry veteran.
.Paak’s been doing a lot of that lately; earlier this year, he also reunited with producer Knxwledge to announce the follow-up to their fan-favorite 2016 NxWorries mixtape, Yes Lawd! Thus far, they have released two songs, “Where I Go” with HER and “Daydreaming,” as well as a tour this summer. Anderson also worked with Cordae on a full EP, so that’s something to keep an eye out for, as well.
Listen to Shafiq Husayn’s new Anderson .Paak collaboration, “Crush You,” below.
So Gold is due on 6/9 via Bandcamp.
