With an epic posse cut uniting Freestyle Fellowship and The Pharcyde plus appearances by Planet Asia, A-F-R-O, Exile, Abstract Rude, and more, God Takes Care Of Babies &amp; Fools is an exhilarating collage of rap brilliance. This historic collaboration is steeped in a rich musical history, as Myka 9\u2019s groundbreaking work in the 1990s was a clear inspiration for the intricate rhymes that propelled Blu to prominence in the late 2000s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWorking with Myka was surreal,\u201d Blu explains. \u201cHe is so untouchable lyrically, and his veteran status predates my catalog by 16 years.\u201d With a list of contributors that charts the evolution of West Coast underground hip-hop over the past three decades, God Takes Care Of Babies &amp; Fools is a truly special event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/myka-9-blu-park-bench\/\"><strong>An official music video is now available for the latest single \u201cPark Bench\u201d,<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and the album is also available in a limited deluxe edition set featuring colored vinyl, a bonus 7\u2033 flexi, and an official lyric book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%;
