It is inspired by the amazing music he has found on his record collecting adventures. Music that ranges from instrumental hip-hop, to downtempo, to funk, to progressive (i.e. not boring) jazz. Straight-up beautiful music that you can play at any time, anyplace, in any situation; grown man music. The grooves that any hip-hop producer would want to sample; the rhythms that any hip-hop emcee or poet would want to rhyme to; the songs that any DJ would spin. Basically, grown man music.

Even for a hip-hop producer the range of what he listens to is pretty impressive, particularly in regards to the time periods.  He’s one of the rare cats that is equally aware of both new and old music.

While there’s a youtube video floating around that details all the samples on Kanye West’s new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I noticed that there was one song missing from it.  This song is called “Woods” and it’s by Bon Iver.  Posting a song that somebody sampled in itself is kind of boring to me, unless the song is really dope, and this song is really dope.  In fact, I can honestly say I’ve never heard a song that sounds like “Woods”.  It’s some one-of-a-kind shit:

Check it out. Download it if you like it.

My latest project, titled Blueprint Who is now available. It is an EP that’s about 25 minutes in length, and it will only be sold on tour and here at printmatic.net. It will not be available on i-tunes or anything like that due to me not wanted to be sued out of house and home for sampling what I want to sample. Plus, i-tunes takes out too high of a percentage anyways, but that’s another story altogether.

There are THREE versions available. Pick your poison:

#1. CD VERSION

The Blueprint Who CD version is $4.99 plus shipping. It starts shipping on Tuesday Sept 7th and comes with a FREE 11×17 poster (see below poster image) and the instrumentals to all songs. Use the add to cart button to pick it up.

#2. DELUXE DIGITAL VERSION:

The Deluxe Digital Version of Blueprint Who will come with 1) all instrumentals, 2) a PDF file of the artwork, and 3) the music video for the song “Dream Big”. This version is also $4.99. To order the delux digital version just select the “BUY NOW” button from the below audio player:

#3. FREE DIGITAL VERSION

The Free Digital Version of Blueprint Who will not include any of the extra stuff above, and the price is determined by what you decide to pay for it. You can pay $0, $1, $2.75, $5, $10, etc. It’s up to you. There will be a price field that defaults to zero, and whatever price you enter will be the price paid for it. The file is still encoded at 320 kbps and the download process is exactly the same. To order this version just click the “Download” button on the audio player below:

This past weekend I played at a festival called Tribez Vibez in Bellefountain, Ohio. It was a really cool experience and I was able to make some new fans there. In fact, I think the feedback I got after I got off the stage was some of the most inspiring feedback I’ve heard in years–really positive people!  At any rate, while I was selling some CDs I realized that (as an artist that has released a lot of music over the years) sometimes it’s very hard for me to tell somebody what album to start with. So I came home determined to put together a free mix of songs that people tell me are their favorite songs from my catalog. I figure that’s better than when you buy a best of cd from the store and only realize that some major label asshole decided to only put 2-3 good songs it.  If you’re new to my music this should be a perfect introduction.  If you’re coming out to any of the shows on this upcoming tour then these songs should serve as a refresher for you.  It’s 17 tracks long.

If you like it, feel free to share it with your friends.
