I was trying to wait until this got chopped up into individual mp3s before I posted, but I'll just update this post when that happens. In typical Blu fashion, he dropped a free LP with no warning via his twitter on New Year's day. theGODleeBarnes LP consists of both Blu's production and his lyrical prowess, as he rhymes on the beats. As I mentioned, it's one long mp3, and we have no tracklisting as of now, but are we really going to complain about some new Blu music? Follow me after the jump for the download link.
UPDATE: Courtesy of Soul Culture, we have the tracklisting as well as a download link with the tracks separated after the jump. According to Blu there is no high quality version of this project, via his twitter: "Mix: HiQVersionIsAMyth, ILostTheFilesToAllTheseSongsTwoYearsAgo, HDCrashed.. ThatsWhyINeverReleasedIt, TheseAreAllCompiledRuffMixesBroski”

RE: Dosher
That’s an entirely different project from months ago
I wish the audio quality was a bit better. It’s amazing.
I love blue… but the sound quality on this needs work. Is there a better version??
It seems that this is a pre version of the upcoming album… Explaining the bad sound quality as well as the one track choice instead of seperated tracks. Should be dope though… What about the 2nd Blu & Exile album? Waiting so much for this to happen…
how u gonna say u love this dude and not even spell his name right? i mean this is one of those things blu beefs on more a few times on any given record. not the end of the world, but still.
Hopefully this comes out as a normal album. Sound Quality in its current form is worse than when I used to tape songs off the radio on my Sony boom box in the early 90′s.
Yo Assets…..”It’s B-L-U and if you see the ‘E’ then drop em!”
Illest & Hardest workin’ man in Hip Hop. Isn’t he gonna’ be on Roots next album?
Blu is DOPE… Quality was soooo bad I couldn’t listen to the whole thing… If you worried about “Pirating” then just shoot one track to us so we can spin it to the party people… Blessings!!!
blu is the best rapper of all time
Thanks for posting this. Blu is solid. Love seeing West Coasters reppin’.
this is easily the best album of this decade! lol. Bad quality and all.
Blu=DOPENESS
GODleeBarnes=DOPENESS

I had got a dream to begin my own commerce, however I did not have enough amount of money to do that. Thank heaven my close friend advised to use the personal loans. Thence I took the auto loan and realized my old dream.
