Producer / singer Anthony Cruz aka XLSREBELSLX dropped his Desire EP today, and (somewhat) lost West Coast underground champ Blu is featured on a prominent track. Besides theGodleeBarnes, the record could be a very tripped-out Black Keys production (a collab we certainly wouldn’t mind); it features an infectious stomp-clap rhythm and solid blues guitar, not to mention an infectious drugged out wail and the requisite sample of a children’s chorus. Blu’s verse might be the highlight though–he’s slurring, sinning, preaching. “No one would walk through the fire but John,” he spits in dramatic fashion, mythologizing his rise. Enjoy below, and cop the Desire EP here.
