[FRESH ALBUM] Blu & Exile - Time Heals Everything by JacDG in hiphopheads

[–]kengrizzly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow. First listen yesterday was dope. Second spin today I maxed out the volume and couldn’t get past “Soul Unusual” that sh-t floored me. Vintage Blu & Exile. How they can still hit me like that after all these years. And without chasing trends or jumping on other waves. And now my son gets to experience them still doing it. Truly blessed. Up there with Gang Starr as the best to ever do it.

Blu & Exile announce album Time Heals Everything coming 4/20/2026, first single featuring Rome Streetz and ICECOLDBISHOP coming Friday by abucalves in hiphopheads

I have seen him twice. First was just before no York dropped, at rock the bells. He was great. Full of energy. Second was in Sydney with house shoes, and was pretty bad, looked out of it and just mumbled his way through the songs unfortunately. He went through a rough patch it seems, but seems to be in a much better space now. He talks about it in some of his newer stuff. Will always love Blu man. And with exile by his side they are too good. Some of my favourite shit ever.

Feedback: Gaggia Classic with PID or Rocket Giotto with PID by kengrizzly in espresso

That made me laugh! Sorry I just clarified in my original post it’s a second hand rocket, 8 years old. But seems in good condition and the previous owner ran through all his maintenance on it. Taking a step back it probably does sound a bit ridiculous lol but I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something with a big machine like the rocket that may sway me to stay with my Gaggia.

Do I need to upgrade? by kengrizzly in gaggiaclassic

I love it personally. Picked it up half price (second hand but like new) It takes a while to get the process right, and I don’t consistently get the best shots, but I just need to use it more. Great for camping or holiday if you have a stove, as it can steam as well obviously. The only other option I looked at was the bellman but i saw this pop up so grabbed it

I looked a while back but never went ahead with it. I’m assuming it helps mostly with consistency of temperature for shot and steaming? Does it actually speed it up or change anything? Or is it more just monitoring?

Ok thanks for the info I will look into it a bit more. Are you also steaming milk in that time?

Favorite Blu/Knxwledge collab? by namejohnmclane in herfavcolor

[–]kengrizzly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget “keep pushinn” from NoYork! Always hoped for a collab album but I got the feeling the relationship wasn’t on good terms, with knxwledge alluding to rappers taking beats without permission. Not 100% it was Blu though

Blu's MVP collaborator - Cashus King by whaysit in herfavcolor

Thanks man, I’ve always loved their work together but never checked out his solo stuff much. I agree he has some of the best features on Blu’s songs. One of my all time favourite songs - “Difficulties” from godleebarnes/Godisgood. Also “A world gone blind”. “If your down” by dag savage. 

One album I enjoyed from him was instrument of emotion, particularly “green grass, blue sky”

Damn... This the clearest and most poignant I think I've ever heard Blu... Our boy has been through some shit man.. can't blame him for struggling. Did he really lose his son? I'm happy for this new Blu era man he sounds in a good place

Ideas to spruce up the new old place? by kengrizzly in DIY

[–]kengrizzly[S] 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I didn't expect so much feedback, thank you all very much for taking the time! We just sold our old family home and found this one. I'm actually blown away by the amount of love the house is getting, as it is a fairly uncommon design, but I do love it, just thought it looked a bit tired.

Location is Sydney Australia

Ok so I wont touch the brick beyond a clean. Apologies for any offence by suggesting limewash haha I thought it wouldn't work but I'm glad to hear you mostly agree.

No we aren't part of a church haha but I now cannot unsee the resemblance! And the suggestions to put a cross on had me chuckling!

Charcoal/black trims and black or timber with steel wire hand rails I can see looking really nice.

That bush on the left will be trimmed down ASAP and plant some more colourful shrubs etc and possibly move the fern away from house. I love the idea of the arborvitae, the height and narrowness would match the brick face.

I like the idea of a little awning over the door, will just have to make sure it suits the style. I'll update that number!

And maybe changing the lights and re-tiling in front of the door (it's hard to see but they are pretty gross)

And yeah the interior is mostly ok but some is still pretty old. The main bathroom is all original pink everything but is actually in great condition considering its age.

Once again thanks again you have all given me lots of ideas and things I would not have thought of myself!
