Blue Sky Black Death. The name may sound dark (or emo) to some, but for your own sake don't judge too quickly. Made up of producers Kingston and Young God, this duo has been spitting out hip-hop instrumentals since 2003. In 2011, BSBD released "NOIR," which, after months of debate and inner turmoil, I have decided is the best album of 2011. BEST you say? YES. From beginning to end your ears are graced with everything from southern guitar solos to choir samples, all paired with clean, familiar hip-hop style beats. Not enough people know about BSBD, but their production [...]
Nacho Picasso and Blue Sky Black Death have hit the ground running since the release of their second collaborative project, Lord of the Fly . After releasing their video for the banger " Rammin ", the squad have teamed up with They Shootin' to hit their fans once again with another set of visuals for album cut "Staring at the Sun". Nacho and BSBD keep things trippy, as usual, employing funky filters to accompany their dripping music. Lord of the Fly is out now.
Nacho Picasso and Blue Sky Black Death are wasting no time letting everyone know that their second joint album, Lord ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/media /blue-sky-black-death-nacho-pi casso/staring-at-the-sun-video /63662/

Nacho Picasso is a nut, we already knew that. Spitting rhymes like "I'm like the statue of David except I'm more endowed" over a slimy Blue Sky Black Death production, it is pretty safe to say hip-hop has never seen anything like this. Matching it up with some purple drank visuals, what we have here is yet another reason to listen to the Lord of the Fly standout track, "Rammin'".
Friday, February 24, 2012 I'm Leah Manners, known as Miss Manners when I host KOOP 91.7FM's Hip Hop Hooray on Sunday's from 2-3PM. A few years ago I was privileged enough to write on a regular basis for SOTO, but a busy schedule hindered me being able to keep that up. Fortunately, John has cordially offered me the opportunity to send over a monthly mix of whatever I'm spinning/interested in. This will likely be mostly hip-hop, but one never knows when I'll stray and bring [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Blue Sky Black Death & Nacho Picasso – "Lord of The Fly"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4041628_lg.jpg)
Tweet Blue Sky Black Death , the Seattle-based beat-production duo, are radically experimental when put into the same context as artists like Star Slinger or Clams Casino , which are other artists who have recently dabbled in the hip-hop realm. They have a thirteen-minute long track, "13" , that takes the listener through a smorgasbord of rapidly changing textures and long-winded progressions. Their beats combined with Nacho Picasso , also based in Seattle, provide a new [...]

Blue Sky Black Death may have JUST dropped a second collaboration with deadpan-comic Nacho Picasso, but that hasn't stopped the production duo for releasing even more new (and free!) material. They put together a seriously ill, ambient-leaning track, 13 , that they're labeling an album. Fittingly, the track is 13 minutes long and while that might seem lengthy for a single track, it moves like several in one. Hence their decision to say it's an album. Yeah, you get it.

Last year, the Seattle rapper Nacho Picasso had something of a coming-out party when he released his For The Glory mixtape, a cloudy-eyed and bloody-minded celebration of boundless drug appetites and comic-book violence. Nacho had as much fun kicking out grisly murder threats as Odd Future do, but he did it with more of an absentminded shrug; he'd kill you, but only after he finished smoking this bowl and reading this Weapon-X trade paperback. Nacho's voice is a croaky weeded-out grunt, but he uses it in slinky ways, sinking deep into his [...]
Last year, Seattle's Nacho Picasso gave away his dark, funny and somewhat nerdy debut For The Glory . Haunted by his father's passing and informed by his obsession with tattoos and comic books, For the Glory at its worst was a solid debut from a guy overly dependent on punchlines, and at its best it was an anti-industry calling card for a confidently quirky up-and-coming rapper. Lord of the Fly , which pairs Nacho with frequent production collaborator Blue Sky Black Death, finds him exploring lots of the same concepts, but now stretching [...]
Being a holiday and all, I thought today was going to be pretty slow in the blogosphere. Boy, was I wrong. For our latest MLK treat, Blue Sky Black Death and Nacho Picasso unleash their collaborative mixtape, Lord of the Fly , on the super-low. Haven't had a chance to listen quite yet, but you can expect this project to be nothing less than fantastic. Hit the skip to stream and download the mixtape.
Blue Sky Black Death & Nacho Picasso - Rammin' Blue Sky Black Death & Nacho Picasso - Phantom of The Opera Atmospheric beat-wizards Blue Sky Black Death (see HERE and HERE ) produce some more haunting, full-bodied symphonies as they team up with the braggadocious Nacho Picasso (whose twisted, witty, and wonderfully raunchy-as-fuck lyricisms put us all in stitches every time we hear 'em) on this dope/dark (and follow-up to the equally impressive For The [...]

Late last year, we gave Mixtape Of The Week one week to For The Glory , a full-length from the word-drunk, bloody-minded Seattle rapper Nacho Picasso. Much of the production on that mixtape came from the Seattle duo Blue Sky Black Death, whose gleaming synths were an ideal complement for Nacho's comic-book nerdery and crawling threats. Now, they've hooked up for an entire new full-length called Lord Of The Fly , up for free download right now at Nacho's Bandcamp page . Below, stream the tape and watch the video for the dizzy [...]
As we go forth into 2012, and what could possibly the last year of human existence, it has come time to look back and appreciate the songs that got us through a pretty wild 2011. You already got a genre-filled look at the past 12 months from LuKoos, so I'm going to do mine a little different. For me, the most important songs have always been linked to the time/place/state of mind I hear them in. So, you're gonna get a little run down of where 2011 took me, beginning to end, and the soundtrack that accompanied that [...]
