The album collects a diverse array of sounds,highlighted by the album’s two advance singles “\u003cem\u003eWhen I’m Home,\u003c\/em\u003e” which Stereogum described as “a moody,graceful soul song with a serious groove,” and the funk-laden “\u003cem\u003eOver The Moon,\u003c\/em\u003e” released last week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTOBi and Real Bad Man’s work together on \u003cem\u003eThe Perfect Blue\u003c\/em\u003e encapsulates the producer’s mission for 2025, a year in which he released intricate collaborative albums with a wide swath of artists. His work with TOBi was seamless and began quickly after the two first met, finding kinship in their ability to push past their comfort zones in genre and familiar sounds. The result is eclectic and boundless, jumping from straightforward and unflinchingly personal rap moments, to the flared funk of “\u003cem\u003eOver the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e” and understated contemporary soul flourishes that prove the Toronto emcee can confidently make each of these sounds his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Perfect Blue\u003c\/em\u003e marks Real Bad Man’s fifth full-length collaborative album of the year, bookending a prolific 2025 that began with his collaborative album with \u003cstrong\u003eZelooperZ\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDear Psilocybin\u003c\/em\u003e. Over a celebrated catalog spanning years, Real Bad Man, also known as Adam Jay Weissman, has cemented himself as a force in underground hip-hop, but his impact extends beyond work with contemporaries like \u003cstrong\u003eBoldy James\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePink Siifu\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBlue\u003c\/strong\u003e and more. Each of Weissman’s five collaborative albums this year showcases a different side of his craft, appeasing fans familiar with his gritty hip-hop production on his third album with Boldy James \u003cem\u003eConversational Pieces\u003c\/em\u003e. He also surprised listeners with a bold turn in sonic direction, well outside of his traditional production palette, with his reunion with former Pollyn bandmate \u003cstrong\u003eGenevieve Artadi\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cem\u003eEverything Is Under Control\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNigerian-born, Toronto-raised artist TOBi has carved out a distinct lane for himself with a celebrated discography of releases that explore themes of vulnerability, self-reflection and contemporary masculinity with a pointed nuance. His 2023 album \u003cem\u003ePANIC\u003c\/em\u003e swept the rap categories (Best Rap Album, Best Rap Single for “\u003cem\u003eSomeone I Knew\u003c\/em\u003e”) at the 2024 JUNO Awards and his catalog has been praised by the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, i-D and more. Expanding on his \u003cem\u003eELEMENTS\u003c\/em\u003e project series with the second volume released earlier this year to high praise, \u003cem\u003eThe Perfect Blue\u003c\/em\u003e cements TOBi’s bonafides as an adept collaborator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RRC Music Co.","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":59520607584601,"sku":"SDZ-52846","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/SRD_20260911_1759_172216_264_p_RRC113_028.jpg?v=1789986318","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/tobi-real-bad-man-the-perfect-blue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
