Video: Blueprint “The Clouds” (Live in Madison, Wi)

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Wes Flexner | 1 comment

Rhymesayers is circulating this very high quality video of Blueprint performing “the Clouds” off his new album Adventures in Counter-Culutre in Wisconsin.

The song addresses somethings that have probably ran through the minds of anyone who has sat at Cafe Bourbon Street or Carabar. The deaths of Camu, Daymon and Przm, coke use, fights all get a mention in Blueprint’s new mission statement on “the Clouds”.

Kinda interesting to see somethings that is very real in Columbus being spoke about to a large crowd in Wisconsin.

Oh yeah, peep Bobby Silver from Brainbow playing with Blueprint and Rare Groove.
(Duffy takes a bow).

MP3: The Next Big Thing

Columbus emcee/producer Path drops a solo tape that guests Nick Tolford, Fabrashay A, Le For the Uncool, ZeroStar, Lev Don, Tyreless Won and more.

Path basically talks about dreams, nostalagia, day to day activities and his various weeded observations. If you have ever been to the Carabar and sat around talking about the various goings on, then “PBR and Vegan Coneys” will warm your heart.

Also the Tolford song is something else.
Very Columbus and beyond.
