Artist: Blu

Track: The Clean Hand

Producer: Pete Rock

Album: None

When industry vet Pete Rock personally passes you a fresh beat, what is there to do but blaze it and share the finished product with the world? That's exactly what Blu did--and the result, The Clean Hand, is nothing short of stellar. Released via the artist's Twitter Tuesday evening, this record finds West Coast underground mainstay dropping characteristically smooth, self-confident bars over the Big Apple beatsmith's dreamy harp samples. This one-off release isn't attached to any larger project, but fans can keep it locked for anything and everything Blu in the weeks and months ahead.
