Blu Joins Declaime for a Lyrical Showdown on “Internally Yours”
Underground West Coast rapper Declaime (a.k.a. Dudley Perkins) connects with Blu for new single "Internally Yours," which is produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow. The song is off of Declaime's forthcoming album Young Spirit that drops on August 18 via SomeOthaShip Connect/eOne Music.
The record is pretty left field, blending funk, jazz and hip-hop. It's pretty incredible to listen to both artist show off their flow. Both rappers touch on a wide array of topics such as the police, L.A., religion and more.
"Internally Yours' is about inner truth," Declaime said through email. "I'm talking about all the cats running this world to see that they are just like us. Their heart beats just like us. The whole album is about how the media and government, food messing with the kid's heads and their young spirits. Blu's speaking on some truths he had locked inside of him."
Young Spirit features production by Georgia Anne Muldrow and Madlib. The album also includes guest features from Saul Williams, Aloe Blacc and more.
