BLUEPRINT
Blueprint (aka Printmatic), is an emcee and producer from the city of Columbus, OH who began his career with the release of a couple unassuming cassette tapes in 1999. Although his initial buzz came from his work as a producer, the formation of Soul Position with instrumentalist RJD2 pushed Blueprint into the spotlight as an emcee. The duo signed to independent powerhouse label Rhymesayers Entertainment, and released three critically acclaimed projects (Unlimited, 8-Million Stories, and Things Go Better with RJ & Al), that were featured in outlets like Spin, URB, XLR8R, and Hiphopsite.com among others. In 2005, Blueprint released his debut solo release 1988, touring the United States and Canada extensively, and over the course of the next four years proved to be one of the most prolific artists around by releasing two solo EP’s (Blueprint Who & Blueprint vs Funkadelic), two instrumental albums (Sign Language & Chamber Music), two Greenhouse EPs (Electric Purgatory Part One & Two), and his his genre-defying sophomore album Adventures in Counter-Culture and latest effort, Deleted Scenes, are available now on Rhymersayers / Weightless Recordings.
ILLOGIC
Illogic erupted into the Columbus hip hop scene when at the young age of 16 he claimed the 1996 Columbus Hip Hop Expo MC battle, surrounded by what would come to be the core of the emerging 'Bustown sound. He dropped his debut in 1998 on weightless recordings, “Unforeseen shadows”. The release was a landmark show featuring Can Ox, Aesop Rock, RJD2, Blueprint, Mhz (Camu & Copywrite), Atoms Fam…..the movement had started.. Ten years later Illogic has shared the stage with Rakim, Casual, Psalm One, Atmosphere, Eyedea, Brother Ali, The Roots, Common, One Be lo, Modill, Royce Da 59, and many other nationally recognized acts. His diligence in the studio is nearly unmatched, unleashing 6 studio albums in 7 years. His latest record, Capture The Sun - with producer Blockhead - is out now on Mad Bites Dog Records.
