Blueprint (aka Printmatic), is an emcee and producer from the city of Columbus, OH. His initial buzz came from his work as a producer, but with the formation of Soul Position with instrumentalist RJD2, he gained the spotlight as an emcee as the duo signed to independent powerhouse label Rhymesayers Entertainment, releasing the critically acclaimed projects Unlimited, 8-Million Stories, and Things Go Better with RJ & Al. In 2005, Blueprint released his debut solo release 1988, and has continued to be one of the most prolific artists around, releasing solo EP’s (Blueprint Who & Blueprint vs Funkadelic), instrumental albums (Sign Language & Chamber Music), two Greenhouse EPs (Electric Purgatory Part One & Two), his genre-defying sophomore album Adventures in Counter-Culture and his latest effort, Deleted Scenes, available now on Rhymersayers / Weightless Recordings. Blueprint – Radio Inactive. Blueprint – Go Hard Or Go Home. Greenhouse (Blueprint + Illogic) – Cold Out Here feat. The Catalyst.

Illogic erupted into the Columbus hip hop scene at the young age of 16, claiming the 1996 Columbus Hip Hop Expo MC battle. He dropped his debut, “Unforeseen shadows” in 1998 on Weightless Recordings. The release was a landmark show featuring Can Ox, Aesop Rock, Rjd2, Blueprint, Mhz (Camu & Copywrite), Atomsphere Fam. Fifteen years later, Illogic has shared the stage with Rakim, Casual, Psalm One, Atmosphere, Eyedea, Brother Ali, The Roots, Common, One Be lo, Modill, Royce Da 59, and many other nationally recognized acts. His diligence in the studio is nearly unmatched, unleashing 6 studio albums in 7 years. His latest record, Capture The Sun – with producer Blockhead – is out now on Mad Bites Dog Records. Illogic & Blockhead – Neva Heard. Illogic & Blockhead – Atlantis Depth.

IQ (aka Intelligent Quotes) is a three-piece hailing from Tuscaloosa, AL with a strong focus on Hip Hop lyricism and tight production. Goya, Ultra Violence (UV) and Slanguage (aka Lackflow Intolerant) create complex, intelligent tracks with more than just a nod to the true-school roots of Bim Bap. Listen to the crew on Soundcloud.

Urbandy is the performance persona of Andy Stewart, producer, beat-maker, cat lover and founder of powerhouse label Step Pepper records. On any given day, you can stop by his house and find him bent over his equipment, banging out beats and doing executive type shit while eating cornflakes and acting like none of it is a big deal. Listen to Urbandy here and check him out on Facebook or at Step Pepper Records.

D.J. Tanner has been a dj since 2001, but his passion for music started as a child. He grew up in New Orleans and was raised by his father’s record collection. These two influences gave him a passion for all genres of music and the overwhelming desire to share this music with anyone willing to listen. He strongly believes that you have to know where music came from in order to know where it should go. dj Tanner uses hip hop as a platform to mix old school, funk, reggae, soul, rock, and dance music. His extensive record collection can get any head to bob and any dance floor hype.
