C.R.A.C. Knuckles - The Piece Talks

MySpace

C.R.A.C. (pronounced Crass) is the musical collaboration of producer/emcee Ta'Raach and emcee Blu. C.R.A.C. is an acronym for Collect Respect Anna Check, a name and idealism representing the movement of like-minded musicians, artists, and producers for a structural change in previous stratifications of power and belief systems. The first step in this movement is The Piece Talk, the debut album from C.R.A.C. Produced by Detroit's finest, Ta'Raach, the musical landscape is reminiscent to early Bomb Squad productions complimented by the 'left-field' humor and sensitivity similar to the work of Prince Paul for De La Soul. Both Ta'Raach and Blu share mic duties, and the chemistry is undeniable. Tracks such as "Love Don't" and "Pop Dem Boyz" feature soaring instrumentals teamed with lyrics that invoke much more than what the surface hints to. Others such as "Bullet Through Me" show a distinct psych-enhanced humor that is found throughout The Piece Talks. Many will be aware of Ta'Raach's previous work on Jay Dee "Welcome 2 Detroit," Platinum Pied Pipers "Triple P," or his latest relese. "The Fevers," and the same will go for fans of Blu's recent release w/ producer, Exile, "Below the Heavens." Regardless of their previous projects, C.R.A.C. is something new and fresh that offers a different and unique perspective to the masses.

Blu Signs A New Deal

This past weekend it was announce that L.A.'s own Blu [Below The Heavens, The Piece Talks, Johnson & Jonson], has signed with Sire records, which is a division of Warner Bros.

In a Los Angeles Times online article about his national noteriety, Blu stated "I’m not going to save Hip Hop. Hip Hop is safe. There’s a lot of [factors] trying to bring Hip Hop down. Hip Hop is a reflection of the world now. It’s not just Harlem. I’ll continue to live my life and make music and continue to be an inspiration."

Jonathan Kim, Blu's publicist and manager added, "This is one step further to where we would like to see Blu’s career end up."

Late last year, it was rumored that the 25 year-old emcee and producer, once approached by Suge Knight to sign with Death Row, was being courted by labels ranging from Warner to Duck Down.

Blu's official major label debut is scheduled for release this fall.
