Our SyffaLove for rapper, road warrior, and certified Floridian, Bleubird is well-endowed. His Cannonball record was a fucking masterpiece from start to finish. The thing about Bleubird is that he CAN'T BE CONTAINED! While Cannonball was gentle, well-thought out, emotive, this FTLiENS shit couldn't be any different!

Teaming up with Fort Lauderdale producer Numonics, sees old Bleuby jumping into that swampishly humid, polo-cologned and baby powdered Florida-certified bass rap that smells like delicious manatee farts, a delicacy among the people of the Everglades.

The weird thing is is that it's not totally tongue and cheek. Bleubird and Numonics as FTLiENS are more paying homage to that bass-driven turn-up that raised them like methane-scented wolves! But there's enough of Bleubird's "I don't take even the things I take seriously, seriously" in its bboy stance that I adore it so much more than I would if it was completely straight-faced.
