"As hip-hop's online footprint began rapidly expanding in the early 2010s, acclaimed Los Angeles emcee
Blu
was a rising star who commanded attention. Just a few years removed from the breakthrough success of
Below The Heavens
and an appearance on the XXL Freshmen list, the talented wordsmith was navigating the major label system, dropping self-produced mixtapes, and working with artists like
The Roots
,
Miguel
,
Flying Lotus
,
9th Wonder
, and more. In 2011, the mysterious album
Jesus
turned up on Bandcamp, uploaded by an artist calling himself 'b.' Soon discovered to be the latest project from Blu, the unpolished but deeply soulful collection quickly made waves on blogs and social media. Just weeks later,
Jesus
improbably became one of Blu's first official solo releases, and it remains a lo-fi masterpiece, with mesmerizing production by
Alchemist
,
Madlib
,
Knxwledge
,
Hezekiah
, and Blu himself. Now, this classic is receiving a long-overdue vinyl reissue, complete with the
Jesus
-era bonus track 'Arrow & The Sparrow' featuring
Jimetta Rose
."
