This week we are joined by prolific rapper, producer, writer and podcaster Blueprint. Print is a foundational figure in the independent rap world, from his work in groups Soul Position and Greenhouse to his vast solo catalog. He has also written multiple books and hosts the phenomenal podcast Super Duty Tough Work right here on Stony Island. SDTW is a forum for Print and frequent collaborator Illogic to dispense advice about art making, marketing, social media, longevity, creativity, and much more. Blueprint chats with us about the midwestern approach to hip-hop, his origins as an MC and producer, and some of his collaborative works. DBRP is a proud part of The Stony Island Audio podcast network.
