As a sucka for Chi City and all that it produces, I knew I had to get John Blu's story on From Vee to You. And even though the lyrics to his first hit single "In Love Wit Yo Booty" are not anything I would listen to with momma and daddy, I gotta say it gets me moving in the club.
But moreso than his lyrics about women backsides, John Blu is doing his thing and representing Chi City to the fullest. And yall know Vee is a sucka for her city, but this time it wasn't just that that got me. Sitting and talking with him was like hollering at a homie from my old block. He was incredibly down-to-earth, cool as hell. And he even granted me an interview in between his rehearsal time...and that's hustlling.
His demeanor is calm and collect, his ambition and hunger for his music is not. He has created his own genre of music that he calls "Hip Pop and R&B". John Blu has been nicknamed the R&B Bully...and with good reason.
"Hard work pays off," he said. "I would sometimes call off of work that made money to have more time in the studio."
And his hardwork has indeed paid off...as he's getting paid! John Blu is currently signed with Jive Records. His second single can now be heard through your airwaves on 107.5 WGCI and Power 92.3. "Cologne" featuring Twista and Gucci, got us all moving and going out to buy cheap smell goods at our local department stores. And he got the clerks from those department stores and everybody else all over the city of Chicago moving to his music, too.
"I feel like if you ain't got your own city, how can you try to get another city. You have to capture your own city first."
Check out my exclusive videos below with John Blu and his crew! From Vee to You...
Love,
Vee
