1988

Blueprint

2005

Blueprint pays homage to a bygone era. He pays homage to the beats, breaks and themes of possibly the most revered year in hip hop, 1988, one of the more celebrated years in rap music history. 

Blueprint’s “admiration for music released during ’88 is clear, and he manages to honor that period’s music, drawing influence from its distinctive sound, using “some old dirty drum-break shit” and soulful loops, without making the endeavor sound like clever mimicry.” – Albumism.com
