Due to a growing demand, today see's the long-anticipated vinyl release of Bad Taste rapper Sniff and Blah affiliate vocalist Lyza Jane's 2018 Baby Blue Champion EP. Available to purchase via Blah Records from 4PM, the Baby Blue Champion EP blends elements of romantic yet illicit rap, combined with soothing R&B vocals reminiscent of old school Ashanti and Ja Rule. Overlapped by dreamy instrumental melodies, production is mostly handled by both Sniff and Lyza themselves, however the project also features contributions by Lee Scott, Jack Chard and John Catlin. 

Created in the Summer of 2017, whilst Sniff was staying between Lyza's place in Acton and Jack Chard's in Ealing, Baby Blue Champion was released a year later in June 2018. The project received an incredible reception, then survived the test of time as it became widely regarded as a cult classic within Blah's international fan-base. In our recent In Depth interview with Lyza Jane, she revealed first hand insights into the makings of Baby Blue Champion:

“It was hands down the easiest project I’ve ever made in terms of fluidity. I was just really comfortable writing with him and the whole thing unfolded in a matter of days. I’d also just copped the Akai Touch so making beats was exciting. The whole thing was just effortless and natural. There weren’t necessarily any intentions, we were just making music for fun. We'd been enjoying the sun and listening to all the 90’s lotion like Ashanti and Ja Rule and this was the result. I don’t remember much about the making of it apart from it was completed in about five days and the sunrises in Acton were magical.”

To add to the excitement, an announcement from the Blah Records website confirms that the vinyl release of Baby Blue Champion also 'serves as a precursor for a new forthcoming Sniff solo album.' Keep an eye out for that, also be sure to cop your very own limited edition Baby Blue Champion vinyl before they inevitably sell out. If you haven't heard the 6 track EP already, listen via the Bandcamp link - you won’t be disappointed.
