Most are familiar with Blu's work with producer Exile on the release, ?Below the Heavens,? and his release with Ta’Raach as C.R.A.C. for their album, ?The Piece Talks.? Johnson & Jonson rounds Blu's foundation for their debut release ?Johnson&Jonson,? in a period where Blu recorded all three projects (Below the Heavens, The Piece Talks, and Johnson & Jonson),during the same time period.

Intended as a mixtape for ?Below the Heavens,? ?Johnson & Jonson? is a project filled with fun, wit, and experience told by an emerging hip hop star, while living and recording the project in Long Beach, CA. It was intended to paint a different story relative to other projects, as Johnson & Jonson is conceived as Blu's rap/swagger project, as opposed to the energy of C.R.A.C. or the song writing and auto-biographical nature of Blu & Exile's ?Below the Heavens.? Blu's personality and humor captivates audiences, while displaying his lyrical power and capability.

Johnson & Jonson's debut Self-Titled LP has been championed by the likes of XXL, Vibe, Complex Magazine, Okayplayer.com, Hiphopdx.com, Myspace.com, and others, as one of the best LPs of 2008. Johnson & Jonson is full of rare rock, soul, pop, and funk loops with a both playful and cinematic production landscape created by producer/MC Mainframe, giving listeners a glimpse into their life living in Long Beach, CA. ?Johnson & Jonson is out in stores now via Tres Records.
