Viva La Hip Hop

Saturday, August 10 9:00 pm
Blueprint and Illogic
The Legionnaire Saloon: 2272 Telegraph Ave., Oakland

Blueprint & Illogic will be hitting the road for their first national headlining tour as Greenhouse, in support of their upcoming album Bend But Don’t Break.

Blueprint (aka Printmatic), is an emcee/producer from the city of Columbus, OH who began his career with the release of a couple unassuming cassette tapes in 1999. The success of those tapes at a local level inspired he and his crew to form their own independent label, Weightless Recordings, and led to national and international distribution of their releases. Although his initial buzz came from his work as a producer, the formation of Soul Position, with instrumentalist RJD2, pushed Blueprint into the spotlight as an emcee. He has toured extensively with acts such as Atmosphere, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Murs, and Brother Ali, as well as headlining his own tours as a solo act, with Soul Position, and now with Greenhouse.

Illogic is an American rapper and Hip Hop artist. He has released three full length albums and two EPs. Over the course of his career he has collaborated with a variety of artists, including Aesop Rock, Davu, and Ant of Atmosphere. Prior to this project with Blueprint as Greenhouse, Illogic released a solo project, Capture the Sun, which was produced entirely by Blockhead (Aesop Rock, Def Jux).

Supporting the tour for the Oakland show will be live Hip Hop soul band Solganix with special guest Davu Flint, SF MC Satellite High, and Dj Madd Hatter.
