Rapper Blu's new album, Good to Be Home, drops next week, but you can stream the whole thing below. Right now! It's a West Coast Sound premiere.

Not familiar with Blu? For shame! We called him L.A.'s best rapper in 2012, and named his 2007 collaboration with producer Exile one of the 20 best L.A. hip-hop albums of all times. 

Originally from San Pedro, he now calls South Central home; check out the just-published tour of L.A. he gave our writer. 

But for now here's his new work, out Tuesday on Nature Sounds.
