Video: Blueprint “Radio-Inactive”
Blueprint dropped his first official single off of his highly anticipated sophomore album Adventures in Counter-Culture yesterday. Peep “Radio-Inactive” below and see what the new album is all about.
When he sat down to work on this sophomore effort, Print began with the dark, soulful and sample heavy hip hop of the early 90’s, but soon found himself hitting a creative wall. What shook him loose was a new mission: to create an album that encompassed every facet of music he knew, blurring genre lines and bringing it back home as one cohesive listening experience. The more he worked to pair new found interest in rock & electronic music with his love of hip hop,the more he was able to break down that creative barrier.
Thus began his Adventures in Counter Culture, a monumental undertaking that would involve reinventing himself as a musician and person. His growing cynicism with the world, his disdain for pop culture, the state of politics, and an apathetic, uninspired society, all worked as fuel to inspire this sophomore album. Moved by the impact that sampling lawsuits were having on the music community, Blueprint also decided return to his roots and began writing and producing his own original content.
After a five year musical journey and experiment, Blueprint has emerged with his greatest effort to date. A culmination of self discovery and societal critique, Adventures in Counter Culture is just that. The adventure begins March 1st 2011.
