On ‘BLIP,’ rapper NAHreally shares witty observations of ordinary life over airy, melodic beats
by The Expert. For the highly original and unpretentiously fun album, the emcee-producer duo
is joined by Open Mike Eagle, Hemlock Ernst (b.k.a. Samuel T. Herring of Future Islands),
Dillon (Full Plate), and Jesse The Tree (Strange Famous Records).

‘BLIP’ marks a hat-trick of collaborative albums for The Expert. Last year’s ‘Ritual’ with Stik
Figa reached a myriad of ‘Best Albums of 2023’ lists and was also praised by Public Enemy’s
Chuck D. Together with Jermiside, The Expert kicked off his series of psychedelic hip-hop
records with ‘The Overview Effect,’ featured on NPR's ‘Best New Music’ and Bandcamp Daily’s
monthly column ‘The Best Hip-Hop,’ among others.

On ‘BLIP,’ NAHreally shows that there are fun ways to rap about everyday life. From boredom to
basketball, or how his “ankles creak, and my left pinky’s bent” on the Open Mike Eagle-assisted
single ‘Breaking Down In Real Time.’ NAHreally turns scenes of the mundane into playful rhymes.
A homage to the ordinary life on this pale blue dot.
