The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from  their live performances.  The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound.  As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.  

Together/Apart concludes three years of self-discovery that has ultimately lead to Grieves' most emotionally charged and daring album to date.

LYRICS:
I kinda feel like a stowaway (Okay)
I’m positive that it’s a negative connection
I’ve got a cup full of Novocaine (Okay)
Stairway to Heaven hope my name’s on the guest list (Go away)
My stress gets trapped between the shoulder blades
Searching for some benefits for perfect attendance
Keep attention span attentive like we dance around an open flame
I’ll trade a couple silver linings for some golden days
I confess I’m still trying to impress papa
I guess that I’m expecting I’ll see him again haha
Laughing on a cloud in some wings and a toga
And he’s asking why I never left Minnesota
Keep in mind previously thought impossible to find
All of these pieces that were needed to complete the design
I’m on the final lap then I go back to give my wife a spinal tap
Still writing rhymes like somebody got the time for that
 
The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
 
Tell me do you ever feel like an accident
Have you ever felt trapped beneath an avalanche
Do you ever ask if this experience is seriously happening
Me neither I can’t imagine it
We gotta pick up the pieces and keep traveling
Or maybe you can handle a hammer and build a ladder and
Explore the storm to find the source of the hunger and the pain
I stole a horse so I could run towards the thunder
And the reins broke and now this beast is my bestie
We used to chain smoke and now we drinking our veggies
We tell the same jokes and pretend that it’s okay 
Already know what Hell felt like when it’s frozen over
Snow covered roller coaster stuck in the alleyway
Dreaming about the day my poster’s up in a gallery
Feel the cold breeze brought me back to reality
I gotta get these groceries back to my family

The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath (Okay) 

And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just

LYRICS:
2.5 million years ago, a friend of mine 
Made a tool from a stone and defended his tribe
It’s technology, sorry for the technical term
It’s a wheel, then a fire and the rest is a blur 
Throw a theorized plot in the pot with applied science 
Let it sit, I bet it streamlines your environs
What’s a resource local to the grotto
The method isn’t free until the mechanism follow 
That’s technology, innovate a difference
A feat of engineering, a system made efficient 
There isn’t a condition, complication, or revision 
Where the answer ain’t to build a more sophisticated widget 
Idget, tired of games, Bronze Age, Iron Age
Weaponry in stellar form, shelter finer by the day
Live stock and vegetables in rows behind the hideaway
Mesopotamia out the muhfuckin' lion cage

If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
 
Now that is a powerful cat

Now that is a powerful cat

You take a lever and a pulley and a winch and a wedge 
You get a labyrinth of aqueducts and pyramid steps
Before the Jesus, Archimedes on that miracle tech 
Year zero, you could feel the future rearing its head
Put a shoe on a horse, shoot a man with a gun 
Steampower, bifocals, and mechanical funk
Manipulate electricity, no it can not be done
Yes it can, ain’t a dam that could cancel the flood
True to human curiosity, at the tree of knowledge 
Pulling genies out of bottles, stealing from Leonardos
Plane train auto, hauling space age cargo
Bizarro technology, everyday is tomorrow 
Telegraph, telephone, you could flirt with Doris 
In Poughkeepsie from a cozy geodesic dome in Sydney 
You can write a letter with no paper
You could fix anything with a laser

If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
 
Now that is a powerful cat

Now that is a powerful cat

You could get a robot limb for your blown off limb, 
Later on the same technology could automate your gig
As awesome as it is
Wait It gets awful, you could split a atom willy-nilly 
If it’s energy that can be used for killing then it will be 
It’s not about a better knife, It’s chemistry and genocide 
And medicine for tempering the heck in the projector light 
Landmines, agent orange, leaded gas, cigarettes
Cameras in your favorite corners, plastic in the wilderness
We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with 
The machinery could eat us, we just really just love our buttons
Ummm... technology, focus on the other shit 
3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip
You could buy a jet-ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet  
T-E-C-H-N-O-L-O-G-Y, it’s the ultimate


If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
 
Now that is a powerful cat

Now that is a powerful cat

SONG CREDITS:

LYRICS:
I like rivers, I like rivers
Sailboats, fisherman, skinny-dipping swimmers
Kids turning rocks over catching lil critters 
Eagle in the pine tree eyeballing dinner
My uncle used to cut school to hit the Susquehanna 
Kept himself a rod and reel he hid up in the bramble 
The school took attendance, it was quiet as a mouse 
He was at the river pulling out a giant by its mouth
A river in the daylight is energy and life
A river in the dark can be a genuine surprise
You might find some lovers getting cozy on the shore 
Or a cold-blooded psychopath disposing of a corpse 
Sitting by the Hudson river talking to a ghost
“I wish that we could rock a beat and smoke an L at Tone's
I miss the way you rhyme and how you never had a clone 
Ain’t a motherfucker living that could ever crack the code"

I like rivers, I like rivers
Freight ships passing through old drawbridges
It looks so cool when you catch it from a distance
A little less cool when you stuck inside your Civic 
I wonder what could possibly be lurking on the bottom 
I look into the water and imagine all the options
A fish we never knew about, some rusty old jalopy 
The murder weapon used to catch the aforementioned body
I seen a beaver chilling by the bank of the Willamette
We gazed upon each other undeniably enchanted
A wave of telepathic information through the filter
It said “when I go to heaven I want you to have the river”
He also said the others had agreed that I was chosen
Just don’t mention it front of them as gloating is for no one 
I'm pretty sure you don't have the authority to say this
But thank you, I accept, I'll have my lawyer draft the papers

I like rivers, I like rivers 
Hard to put a price on water for the village 
I jumped into the Amazon to launder all my atoms 
The Chao Praya had me spilling coffee on the captain
My heart is the East River floating on a frisbee 
That came in from the Long Island Sound to sojourn in the city
It’s not the kinda water where you’d throw a Triple Lindy 
If you get some on your skin they probably notify your siblings
I picture a scenario where someone’s held me captive 
And escape would mean to build a raft and navigate some rapids 
I wonder if my training from the school of tv magic 
Would beget some makeshift watercraft that make off for Damascus 
In practice I have no desire get into the water 
I like to know it’s there in the event I ever wanna 
Waterfalls, tributaries, Lichtenberg figures
Twilight fireflies, I like rivers

LYRICS:
I can see we’re thinking about the same things
I see your expression when the phone rings
We know there’s something happening here
No sense in dancing around the subject
Wounds worse when it’s treated with neglect
Don’t turn now there’s nothing here to fear
 
You can talk to me
Talk to me
You can talk to me
Set your secrets free
 
Silk degrees we’re dancing in the same vein
Loose lies and fully entertained
I always knew we would wind up here
All these calls are making my eyes tear
Suddenly last summer is so clear
They always will tell you what you want to hear
 
You can talk to me
Talk to me
You can talk to me
Set your secrets free
 
You look like a shiny star
Trapped in a tiny jar
Ain’t nobody got the time for scars
Looking at that mirror behind the bar
I respect your reflections
Aside from a few exceptions
Notice the majority authority
Be stepping into traffic with bad directions
I don’t wanna sound like another typical escapist
But I won’t protest if you wanna deviate away from the basics
If you think it’ll help we can celebrate your pain and your patience
They said Hell is made out of self-deprecation
Dressed up head to toe but never felt so naked
So fortunate there ain’t nothing to forfeit
And a torch gotta light it’s own course I guess
Nobody ever told you about the vultures and the hornets nest
I know you wanna move forwards
But you feel like an ornament
And everyone acts so supportive
The distortion sounds disproportionate
 
Talk to me
You can talk to me
Set your secrets free
I can see we’re thinking about the same things
I see your expression when the phone rings
We know there’s something happening here
No sense in dancing around the subject
Wounds worse when it’s treated with neglect
Don’t turn now there’s nothing here to fear
 
You can talk to me
Talk to me
You can talk to me
Set your secrets free
 
Silk degrees we’re dancing in the same vein
Loose lies and fully entertained
I always knew we would wind up here
All these calls are making my eyes tear
Suddenly last summer is so clear
They always will tell you what you want to hear
 
You can talk to me
Talk to me
You can talk to me
Set your secrets free
 
You look like a shiny star
Trapped in a tiny jar

LYRICS:
A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

Virgo born in purple storm 
Standing on a home made platform
Screaming at a bull horn 
Until the break of morn
Or til I die trying to make the whole room too warm 
Oooh how are? you spend a few minutes 
Less than an hour trying to move in between the space right now 
From the last time I seen your face make shapes outside of digital keepsakes 
Ahhh keep that lonely energy
If only we could kick away the penalties
Make love and peace make a bunch of seeds 
I’ll make anything just to make memories
To put it all in perspective
I’m trying to give everything one hundred percentage of me
And you can take it however you shall 
I wasn’t waving at you anyways, I was waving at the clouds 

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

Come on now even if there was a way to say what I thought about anything
Doubt I’ll waste my breath trying to preach to the crowd
I’m not trying to sell teeth to a crocodile
I’m not in style I don’t think I had the chance 
I was just a child that liked to draw on my pants
I was trying to find a couple answers
I knew I was a problem when I saw your hands up 
Now put the dinner in a bag 
If you call police I’mma burn your flag
Trying to chop this wood like it’s all good 
Like maybe it’ll fix a broken part of my childhood
Ish and you know that’s the link 
Got you chasing realities that went extinct 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers 
And a gold name plate on a four finger ring

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

When the spotlight shine did you finally find
Some kind of peace of mind or a piece of behind
I wrote my number above the hand dryer
It says call for a good vampire
I been a few places on this planet 
Same shit different sandwich 
Coming at you live on borrowed time 
How’s my driving, call me on the party line

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

LYRICS:
The brand reads “Animal Farm”
A fugee on the lam, runnin’ with a lamb in my arms 
Trail of rabbits harboring the farmer’s brand of cigars 
And cattle after, after that it’s like a ramp to an arc 
Planned a garlic salmon, already romancing the fingerlings 
When reminded why the ringer’s off, it only ever “ring ring ring” 
Out of radio silence a bad miracle
Panic in the paradigm, attacking the familiar world 
Evacuate, bleeding heart, I had to let the horses out 
Who each step forward to bow free to ignore the corral 
Freedom ain’t a circle per the management’s “normal amount” 
It’s when the chorus vow to normalize the horse’s mouth 
Black Philip free to b-a-a what he b-a-a’s
From a growing blob of jail-broken oxen and hogs
I know some pigs’ll splinter off I seen ‘em mixing with the bosses
Sipping gin, as if the trough is less prestigious than the office 
It isn’t, receiving a transmission from the future 
Where your time around them humans ain’t protect you from they butcher’s Block, a bunch of us are meeting at the moor behind the the Orkin 
You coulda been a presence at the origin
Should you feel unsettled or some melting into madness 
After entertaining more second chances than Velma’s glasses
From a person place or otherwise increasingly disruptive trend 
You could always run the red, or break the glass or jump the fence, yea

It was always all of a sudden 
All’s well 'til it’s all of his palm on the button 
I am always into something 
I am always into something 

It was always all a whodunnit, 
All told, it was all of us up 'til it wasn’t 
I am always into something
I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I can introduce you to another realm
Help you with the move, but only you can go fuck yourself 
Cut to helter-skelter in glorious technicolor 
With bumper to bumper sending turtle shells at one another
It’s treasure hunters budding in some cannonball running of bulls 
Sweating in the dead of summer, red X on the bread and butter
Pardon while his pedal power shed the inseparable umbra
Reset the pecking order, still ain’t pick a second number
Detective on some "how you get so mega extra ultra?"
I said "never check the weather and always dress for the tundra" 
Merry “Dawn of the Mummy”, heard a call in my slumber
Woke to a thousand years of sauce of the month in a bunker 
Yum, you could be the lunker under pepper X, 
I feel like professor why, why are all my friends depressed? 
Why’s this party feel like when I walked back into Selmer’s Pets
In precious tears like “why are all my tetra dead... yet again? 
Landspeed entirely contextual
Glacial-pace grand prix, “space invader camera B!” 
Cam or not, copy room, camp ground or canteen
Every time you stand down, I pop out yelling “and… scene!” 
Make a million paper cranes, blindfolded
Both arms stuck in different crane games 
Underwater, over coals, whole of his spirit above him 
Call now, I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

(Traveling forever)
(Traveling forever)

I’m traveling forever, never released
I’m trying to get some peace, I need to set some boundaries 
And step on a beach that’s underneath some palm trees 
I want my face to feel as fresh as a breeze
That’s when I awakened and I remembered police
Get your knee off his throat, he can’t fucking breathe 
Please each sunrise is golden
When you’re holding onto hope that you don’t die frozen
I mean, I’mma try to keep both eyes open 
Don’t be afraid to adjust the lens to find focus 
I’m not cold, I just protect my emotions
I suppose I’m supposed to pretend that I’m not broken 
I feel attacked by the cameras flash 
I’m trying to relax fall back, get off the ambulance path 
It ain’t funny but I’d rather just laugh 
Play me maybe transfer a fraction of math 
Every day I’m trying to master the craft 
I’m living on a ladder at the same time rapping for the past 

Traveling forever
(Traveling forever)
Traveling forever
(Traveling forever)
Traveling forever
(Traveling forever)
(Traveling forever)

I never got to learn how to dance for you
I don’t know whether or not that’s an attribute 
I’d pick locks, kick rocks if I had to choose 
So thank god I get to sing my Minneapolis blues 
I didn’t come to chill just passing through 
I slid into your village fantastic food 
I used to roam area codes and time zones 
I’ve read books to my kids over the phone 
Trying to stay connected and touch base with home 
Got an inbox full of videos of their milestones 
My headstone might as well be a grindstone 
I’m feeling like I brought a microphone to a cyclone 
If you’re alone then you’re welcome here 
But the owner of the bar is trying to sell some beer
I was surprised like you when I felt those tears 
We set the roof on fire and the devil appeared 
And now I’m looking at a sketch of myself sincere 
It’s been a few consecutive hell of a years
Yeah I feel like I’m juggling a couple of knives 
Cause I’m trying to say something that might describe this
I’m not the livest I’m not the brightest
I’m not the prettiest but I’m probably biased 
You might want to fall back from the light
And just try to remember where you was at when I was

Anybody here trying to get festive 
Top choice so so selective
So let me hear you make noise project it 
Sound is vibration
Like the siren that took over the radio station
Warning devastating to your ears 
This goes out to a few of my peers
Boom I never took a swim in a spoon
But I danced around the living room with a broom
It all started with a Profile seven-inch 
Been trying to keep the fire going ever since
I’m waiting for the weight to lift 
Cause I’m afraid that it’s way too late to quit 
A safe space for all yall love birds 
But no vultures and no buzzards 
Stay precious no pressure
I want to make it a whatever to remember
There’s always somebody better 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
Party people I’ve got one question 
Anybody here trying to get breakfast 
We can keep on going until the sun shine 
We can keep on going until it’s lunchtime
I guess it’s excessive
Let’s not keep it a secret, confess
Indeed I like when I see yall cheesing 
It’s all the reason I need to keep steezing
As long as the neighbors don’t call the super
I want to feel bass that wakes up the rooster 
I want socks and shoes with rocket booster 
Helicopter maneuvers
I used to jump through a blazing hoop to be cool
Them days are through
This might not be the right place to break this news
But I like the way that you lace your boots 
Stay precious no pressure
I want to make it a whatever to remember
There’s always somebody better 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
Party people I’ve got one question 
Do yall make exceptions
I didn’t come to give advice or suggestions 
Except try your best not to get arrested
And I don’t mean to seem disrespectful 
But I don’t care about your plate collection
Your collection plates or your first impressions
Just throw your hands in the air with aggression
Put them up like you’ve got questions 
The knuckle tattoo says who’s next 
Deejay Rare Groove on the guest list 
Until they make the party move to the exits 
Right now this feels like the best it 
Might be heaven slightly less then
Heads up cause tonight’s a blessing 
Spread love to fight the infections 
Stay precious no pressure
I want to make it a whatever to remember 
There’s always somebody better 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter 
I just want to see the whole party get wetter

Sunday, March 29th, 2015 marked the 10th anniversary of Blueprint's debut solo album on Rhymesayers, "1988". We've been celebrating this anniversary for a whole week with special posts on Instagram and Soundcloud, PLUS we've sale-priced the album (CD and Digital) at Fifth Element for a limited time. This week only, you can buy "1988" for just $4.99! Order the album from Fifth Element now, and we'll throw in a free digital download of DJ Rare Groove's official "1988 Live" mixtape, which was the exclusive bonus offered with the album pre-order back in 2005. 
Get the album now and experience the sounds of 1988!
bit.ly/BlueprintSale

"No Half Smokin'" was a B-side cut on the "Print Is Goin' Off" 7-inch vinyl release, which dropped around the same time as the "1988" album. Both songs were reinterpretations of 80's Hip-Hop classics; Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" and Biz Markie's "Biz Is Goin' Off", respectively. The original songs were both released on the Cold Chillin' label, so the labels for this 7-inch were also reinterpreted to mimic the 12" single labels on those original Cold Chillin' releases.

This song may not have been heard as widely as the album, so we thought we'd share it here, too. This 7-inch is still available in limited quantities at Fifth Element for only $2.99! Get It now: http://fifthelementonline.com/products/blueprint-print-is-goin-off-7-inch-vinyl

Blueprint - No Half Smokin'

This track is from Boom Bap Project's debut album on Rhymesayers, "Reprogram", which released ten years ago yesterday, on June 21st 2005. In honor of the album's tenth anniversary, we're offering both CD and Digital versions for only $4.99, for a limited time! PLUS, when you buy Reprogram, you will also get Boom Bap Project's "Welcome To Seattle" Mixtape forFREE!

Get yours NOW:  http://bit.ly/BoomBapProject 
 
The History: Emerging out of Oldominion, one of the most prominent crews to represent out of the Northwest, Boom Bap Project had a distinct musical goal in mind. The plan was revealed in the group's name –hard beats and hard rhymes– a.k.a that good ole Boom Bap. Armed with strong Hip Hop sensibilities, unbreakable confidence, and lyrics primed to hit you directly in the head, Nightclubberlang (a.k.a Karim) and Destro Destructo attack the mic relentlessly, as their vocals ride atop hard-hitting production from an accomplished line-up of beat-makers; Jake One, Vitamin D, Bean One, Jumbo The Garbageman (of Lifesavas), Snafu, Sayeed, DJ Scene, and Mr. Hill. The album is enhanced by scratch work for DJ Scene, as well as some quality guest appearances from Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious), Rakaa Iriscience (Dilated Peoples), DJ Vin Roc, The Lifesavas, Grayskul, Snafu, and Choklate. Then, just before the release of Reprogram, Boom Bap Project also released the free mixtape, "Welcome To Seattle", to give the world a taste of what was to come. This mixtape featured a wealth of freestyles, rarities, and unreleased music, including verses from Supernatural, Cool Nutz, One Be Lo, and JFK of Grayskul. "Welcome To Seattle" now comes as a FREE D/L when you buy "Reprogram" (CD, LP, or MP3) at FifthElementOnline.com.

Spring is in full bloom, so April Showers are soon to follow, making it the perfect time for the return of the Weatherman. Evidence is set to release a new solo album on Rhymesayers later in 2017. "Throw It All Away" is the first sprinkling of what’s to come!

Produced by Alchemist, directed by Stephen Vanasco, shot entirely on Leica SL Camera.

Available now on all digital and streaming sites: http://rse.lnk.to/ThrowItAllAway

Lyrics:
"I got some money I'm a blow it all today 
they say Michael don't throw it all away 
and my reply was there's more on the way 
when I said it I was walking in the rain 

"I did a show in Chicago on the first 
now I'm back in LA like Chicago and First 
no sun but I'll father this verse 
that's all I'm probably worth 
and I'm from sunny CA to rain on all of this earth
Rainy terrain, receive the God sent messages 
we know the answer, but dance around what the question is
what is it
it's back to who's on first 
it's my dog 
it's his tail 
it's the chase 
it's the search 
it's the ignorance that causes all the bliss in my surroundings 
cause dealing with reality's like drawing out your boundaries 
and I refuse to be referred as less than a creative so catch me when I'm live in town as I've been demonstrating
That I could find my greatness in the waking of my absence 
and absolutely kill it when they're dealing out these bad hands 
a player plays what a players dealt
and carries baggage like conveyor belts 
and never fucking saves his wealth 

"I got some money I'm gonna blow it all today 
they say Michael don't throw it all away 
and my reply is there's more on the way 
when I said it I was walking in the rain

"I write to alchemist cause others don't inspire me I got my people and they got my back entirely
I kill with Iriscience on the side of me 
and by myself I lay em' out and iron out the irony
What a long winding road it's been 
with no sign of slowing up around it's turns and bends 
how many have friends that ain't foes within 
dirty laundry in the wash, but them clothes don't spin
I mean really, I kill two birds with one bullet
the target's when I line it up 
The triggers when I pull it 
out the gate 
a bit late, but the champ is back 
I need a third hand to wear my rings and hold plaques 
I hit the track like the runners new 
hands high like a stick up 
killer Michael running jewels 
It's true, the eyes slanted 
my Fam rock the planet 
don't take fans for granted 
like the money is due 

"I got some money I'm a blow it all today 
they say Michael don't throw it all away 
and my reply was there's more on the way 
when I said it I was walking in the rain

"I got some money I'm a blow it all today 
they say Michael don't throw it all away 
and my reply was there's more on the way 
when I said it I was walking in the rain"

Pre-Order "Overcast!" Vinyl Now: https://bit.ly/Overcast20

Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of Overcast, the full album is remastered and available on vinyl for the first time!

20 years ago, while building a buzz on the Twin Cities scene playing countless local shows, recording demos and endless freestyle sessions, Atmosphere released a milestone record that set the trajectory for a career that is still evolving and pushing forward to this day.

In the late 90's, for a brand new independent label, pressing a vinyl LP was an expensive venture. At the time, the focus of the young entrepreneurs was set more on expanding the foundation they had built in Minneapolis, so they invested their time and money into networking nationally by doing shows, MC/DJ battles, and sometimes traveling from coast to coast just to give CDs away, all in order to grow the fanbase. As a result of an ambitious plan gone right, Overcast will now, finally, see its way onto vinyl!

For this special 20-year anniversary vinyl edition, all the original recording sessions were transferred from the reel-to-reel tapes and mixed especially for vinyl by Joe Mabbot, long-time engineer for Atmosphere, dating back to God Loves Ugly. The album is pressed on triple white color vinyl and packaged in a custom built case-wrapped and debossed jacket, and includes three previously unreleased songs from the original reel-to-reel tapes!

On her latest release, “Forever”, the hip-hop heroine delivers an empowering message over an ominous bass line, dropping lines like, “No, I’m not flawless. I’m scarred up, and I’m fine with it.” Spitting bars and spinning words, she goes on to recount how mama taught her “stay woke,” admit her own body image struggles, and name-check Do The Right Thing. It feels like it could be rap’s own answer to the “No-Makeup Movement.” However, her message is just starting to resound on a grand scale…

A voice Okayplayer.com proclaimed “one of the most formidable microphone mavens in the game,” Sa-Roc is in the midst of finishing up her Rhymesayers Entertainment full-length debut— due out later in 2018.
