When asked to his describe the direction of his sophomore project "The Adventures of Mr. Las Vegas" Anu say's “It’s the genre blurring, maturation Hip Hop. It’s the step child of 80’s nuwave, P-funk and jazz. It’s an honest reflection of the life of a Vegas native". The video for “CUM&getIT" (a track off the album) debuted on BETJ’s (now Centric) “Soul Sessions” early 2009. The title track of the album "Mr. Las Vegas" (feat.
