In this episode of The Almanac of Rap, Donwill sits down with Blueprint, rapper, producer, author, founder of Weightless Records, and co-host of the Super Duty Tough Work podcast. The two Ohio natives dive into Blueprint’s creative process, from choosing between producing and rapping to knowing when it’s time to make an album. Blueprint shares the journey of the independent grind, the evolution of Midwest hip-hop scenes, and the legacy of Scribble Jam as a cultural hub for MCs, DJs, and artists. Blueprint breaks down:
