Leather Blvd is a woozy and lo-fi late-night trip. The raps range from slurred and drenched in reverb to more crisp and well-defined as tracks range from short and sweet to epic and sprawling. There is a real intimacy to this record that invites you in every repeat listen. Leather Blvd feels very real. - Hunter

Welcome to Leather Blvd: A Black utopia conceived by B. Cool-Aid-the duo of vocalist Pink Siifu and producer Ahwlee (pronounced "Ali")-populated by an ensemble cast of characters and collaborators, including Ladybug Mecca (of Digable Planets), Big Rube (Dungeon Family), Fousheé, Mndsgn, Quelle Chris, Denmark Vassey, LIV.e and many more. Picture Black co-op-owned beauty shops, barbershops, health food stores, weed spots, churches, mosques, nightclubs, bookstores, botanicas, bars, restaurants, street vendors, etc.-all of the signs of healthy community and commerce-on either side of a wide and impossibly long street. Now picture people of every size and shape and shade of brown hustling and bustling up and down the street, just living their lives. Imagine a fantastic version of Harlem's 125th Street or Bed Stuy's Fulton Street, or L.A.'s Leimert Park. There is such a place, even if it's not technically real.
