“I wrote this album tryna work through all the shit that happened A lot of it written in the same room my Mama passed in”
These are the opening bars of the The Blue Hour by East Bay rap heavyweight Rexx Life Raj. It’s been a tough two years for him, he lost his parents and moved out of his hometown, among other challenges. A distinctly somber mood anchors this album, which focuses on facing grief, moving forward, and hopefully helping others who are going through similar situations find strength. Features include appearances by Wale, Russ, Fireboy DML, and fellow Bay Area native Larry June.
