Blueprint is someone who knows a thing or two about multitasking. The producer/emcee played a pivotal role in the emerging underground scene in the Midwest during the late 90's/early '00s, with his own Weightless crew and also amongst the artists that would eventually comprise the rosters of indie juggernauts Rhymesayers and Definitive Jux. He's continued to put out a steady clip of music since then (both as a solo artist as well as one half of Soul Position with RJD2), but music isn't where his journey ends. He's become a film/video director, a published author with four books under his belt, and the host of his own 'Super Duty Tough Work' podcast. But no matter what the medium, he's essentially a storyteller, and so it was great to hear the stories behind these seven randomly selected songs from his catalog:
"The Jerry Springer Episode" (Soul Position '8 Million Stories', 2003)
"Alchemy" (Aesop Rock, 'Daylight', 2002)
"The American Dream" ('Deleted Scenes,' 2012)
"Great Eyedeas Never Die" ('King No Crown,' 2015)
"Fresh" ('1988', 2005)
"Arms Too Short" ('Chamber Music', 2004)
"Overdosin'" ('Respect the Architect,' 2014)
Lots of great conversation here, too: reflecting about the rise of the scene he helped build, the forces that caused that machine to slow down years later, his approach to songwriting and recording, and so much more. Enjoy!
