THIS IS NOT A JOKE is an upcoming debut mixtape from rapper Alexandru Bleu. Supported by the singles BATSHIT CRAZY and ALL PINK EVERYTHING, the project already has three iTunes Rap top 15 placements, with ALL PINK EVERYTHING peaking at number one.

Sonically, the project is an ongoing negotiation of the performance of masculinity while exploring narrative themes of conflict, struggle and a pursuit of dominance. The project contains no features and is vocally a solo performance from start to end; a Hip-Hop body of work with influences and homages to London and Jamaican sound system culture as well as the pop/rap blend popular in the UK Underground rap scene.
