Diversity. Ambition. Evolution. Those words signify what can be the most powerful tools in an artist's arsenal. Blueprint has made a career out of tapping heavily into all three. "So Alive", the lead single from Blueprint's sophomore album Adventures In Counter-Culture is a perfect example where all three comfortably mesh together over a self produced frantic, 60's inspired slice of soulful electro pop. Perhaps it's the artistic freedom of expression in Blueprint's new music that opens the doorway to one being able to feel "So Alive".

I remember meeting blueprint at one of their rhymesayers shows in seattle and he had such a huge inner peace, I couldn't help but be relaxed speaking to him. respect the architect!
I saw Blueprint live at Boma in Columbus Ohio on accident, he wasn't scheduled, just came on out of nowhere, was a great night with a friend that recently passed, chills.
don't know how anyone can not like this song. there is just so much groove to the beat...
caught him in SD last night, one of the realest cats out there today
Its not change, its progression. Learn the difference.
You might be my favorite local artist, don't change.
Blueprint is fuckin KILLIN IT these days. All of his recent material has exceeded my expectations by far. I'm diggin the versatility.
Aprils going to be such a good month for music.
he's not selling out, he's actually doing the opposite. rapping how he feels. "so alive" he was working a 10 hour a day job before he started rapping so he's expressing his transformation in this song
AND SO ALIVE IN 2023!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent track. I'm so so alive right now!
this song is the reason i'm pre ordering this album.
blueprint started by singing in a choir. beautiful vocals
AND GOING HARDER AS WELL!!!!!!!!
blueprint keeping it fresh!!
I fucking love this song, I don't know that there's a song that I connect with more than this one at the moment. How many guys out there had a father gone, or who was abusive, etc, and just felt like the world was dead, until the one person capable showed up and brought them back to life?
This guy is not selling out people, he's singing. Singing about some relevant too. He's still getting his emotions, and feelings out through this song, and his other type of music. He's trying something new, but trust me this guy is dope. If you don't think he's real hip hop, or think he's selling out go to one of his concerts. He's probably one of the best artists out there, and just because he singing in one song doesn't make him any less of one of the best artists, or lyricists today.
Whatever people are saying is meaningless because ALL of it is natural & you can tell….at least I can 🖤🤤
This song is frealking great. Keep them coming.
Rhymesayers and in this video "Print". These artists are out there to do new things with the world of hiphop and change/re-define/move away from the "NORM".....AS well as grow as a person or artist and their past music is still part of who they are! Selling out for these artists would be leaving this label for monster label....So, when they try new stuff and you can't be open-minded; you just sold out yourself!
Yea! Blueprint! I'm from the ol' BUS and am happy to boast ya'll are from my hometown. Oh you guys should play a show in Athens Ohio too. Great scene and way to build a following
I dig this new style a lot. Been a Blueprint fan for a decade now, and I kinda want him to keep making songs like this one.
here is the answer - people feel more connected to underground music in general b/c they have to "work" to find it. it's not on the radio so there is a deeper sense of connection with the artist, so when someone decides to change their style or explore options it scares the fan. they've invested alot of emotional energy and people don't like change. i'm more excited for the album BECAUSE it's different
The like bar looks like a match.
FRESH is the Word!
Love that ending!
he didnt sell out, this is good music yo!
"...self produced frantic, 60's inspired slice of soulful electro pop" is what it says in the description about this, he never said it was hip-hop. I think it sounds megadope personally, shows how versatile of an artist he is.
radio wouldnt touch this with a 50 meter pole, and i love it
Excellent music and one of the greatest music videos I've seen to boot! Call it selling out if you want, the rest of us will call this kickass music.
It sounds like a drum n bass beat, I sorta really dig this song. Like a new age doors with some dnb thrown into the mix. I dig it.
This video is so trippy!!!
I wish the Rhymesayers music videos would include the standard music video credits so we would know who's creating these awesome videos.
Everything by this guy is flippin amazing, man
This is insane
This song is amazing.
Perfect for how I feel right now :] Glad I found them
Enough with all the bullshit about going Mainstream. Blueprint is just a creative artist trying new things. He makes his music for himself and no one else so stop complaining and just listen to the man.
"I made this in my basement, when you wasn’t even there
o express my feelings, not to be played on the air
So am I wrong or secure if I really don’t care
If this ever turns into something that anybody hears"
So stop with all the hating and just take it in and start feeling Alive again!
Ahhhh, Blueprint maturing... I love all the songs off this album so far!! :D
it's great to someone in real hip hop do something outside of his comfort zone.
track is dope!
this was so damn dope Print! Man. When the plane crashed and then turned into a wheat paste of you I was like "It would be dope if he walked out of the wheat paste piece!" Then the scene switched and then it came back and you did. Perfect. Very very coo'. Reminded of 80's/early 90's MTV stuff.
great vid, would really like to see a live version.
lol @ all the people saying he sold out... when was the last time you heard something released like this by anybody? this is probably the most original song ive heard in years to be completely honest.
@1414shellshock
You hit the nail right on the head.
!!great video and song
For all those talkin bout how blueprint sold out and whatnot, just listen to radio-inactive. That ought to shut you up.
@CircularTheory no joke, the instrumental would be a great a song in itself imo, and Blueprint just makes it that much better
@SportInjectionR deserves 2 thumbs up
dope.
I couldn't keep my head still during that paper airplane part
"the undergrounds polluted!"
Remember guys??
The like bars a pool stick
LOVE THIS!
great track....great video it is different but not wack
sooo different but i love it! the instrumentals are awesome in this print! keep doing your thing big ups, see you at soundset 11 !
🙏
to all sell out shouters, shut up. we should be glad to live in a time when artists are comfortable to release thier more creative stuff instead of the same ole hum drum drab. Blueprint makes music, there isn't any product endorsements, and if i buy a g-shock watch cause eminem has one, it;s not casio's fault or eminems. and seriously be more creative w/comments- B-print your new song is sick, love the james brown soul/jazz feel. the weird rhymes, and measures. coulda shown more of it, peace
@MisterBrainwash totally agree with you man,i hate when people do shyt like that.as fans we should want our favorite rappers to become more known.it is only selfish to want to be the only one who knows how amazing an artist is.and selling out is used properly for some one who has abandoned his beliefs and intentions,not for someone who has chosen to expand his musicle creativity.
Print this video is amazing. Somehow I've not seen it before. Brilliant. Who did this?
@MisterBrainwash
I love you. People need to get over themselves and listen to the music.
Love this jam, its soo... simple :)
Plus... There's no such thing as a sell out. Who are we to comment on another artist's path to making their art accessible. It's 100% their choice. Even if they commercialize or compromise what is or was perceived as their roots to reach a larger audience, who gives a fuck? The artist evolves and so to does the fan's taste. They don't have to love each other forever. Relationships change. Move on.
same here. can't believe I haven't seen it before. very coo'.
@whitechocandy Well, blueprint is an excellent rapper along with being a excellent producer/beat maker (music) like his album "chamber music" is mostly instrumental. I actually really like what he is doing because it changes it up a bit from the normal hip-hop album, and allows more remixes and experiments.
I don't understand why people read RUclips comments. It's kinda like giving preschool kids the SATs, and then taking the results seriously.
This is Blueprint's "Umi Says"
chill out ppl let him dooz wat he dooz
Reminds me of P.O.S.'s Goodbye music video.
this is much better than the mainstream shit you hear on the radio..
Very nice!
Maria Juranic is the next Spike Gondry, or Michel Jonze, something like that...
love it how these die hard hip hop heads think joining the rhymesayers team is selling out, guess they did something right up there in Minnesota, haha, this jam is so fucking sick.
one of the best fucking songs ive ever heard
@Bayneism Murs isn't on Rhymesayers, but Felt is... So I guess he kinda is. But I agree with you about Grieves being dope!
@chonomakona yeah i didnt mean that they signed him when eyedea died cuz ive heard some songs with eyedea and blueprint way back in the 90s. i dont even know why i said that lol
sometimes the beat and the melody made the song, this time its the whole rapping
@ballbagjim
and word, no hate, just disscussion, we both love music, so its understandable to get passionate bout the shit
@jesterian i couldnt agree more! this is expanding and evolving & i dig it. see you at soundset 11 print!!
@ballbagjim if anyone is killing hip hop, i'd say its people like Cage & Yak Ballz. Hip hop is still here though, itll never die. not like disco did.
@MisterBrainwash Well said bro.
hes DOPE haterz
I have to say it. There's clear symbolism of illuminati in this video, when his eye unfolds, it creates the freemason triangle for a good visual. Also, his hand making a 6 with 3fingers following it makes the 3x6 symbol. One last sign, he's all dressed in black, leaving his white outline. What happened blue? I loved your old shit!
Check out Budo's remix as well. It's sick.
life's hard, act harder
this song is good but better live
@smiley! totes mc goats!
fuck ya saw it live may 10thhhhh!
0:46 holy crap i have that same drain in my kitchen sink
@MisterBrainwash I hate people who don't understand psychology and think they are experts on human behavior. Most people are resistant to change, assuming that people don't like his new work to "look cool" is lumping your observations of a few to the whole. The truth is if most people could have a perfect world the things they're familiar with would never disappear. Now granted this would eliminate progression as well but that's how a majority feels n they don't care about progress.
@MisterBrainwash it wasn't that you wrote a comment but what you wrote in the comment so it wasn't really that silly at all was it. You said "I only like artists who people don't know about because then i look cooler among my friends.I hate people." so from that i can safely assume you think you know enough about people's behavior to make a comment like that. if you're upset i called you out be upset but don't bother trying to make a big deal of it.
@hootie017 yeah word up!
@EyedeaAndAbilities Too bad E passed right, wouldn't say either one is better tho BP has been fresh forever, long damn time. Besides they were label mates haha.
@Jesterian Damn fucking SPOT on..
i dont see what im doing wrong.... i just cant make my paper airplanes go that far
@Jesterian they don't understand the difference between "seeling out" and "growing on the artistic side" ..so pathetic. Blueprint rocks
Do alive
dont want people to htink I don't like blueprint. I'm from columbus and love blueprint and illogics music. I bought their stuff at magnolia thunderpussy, anyone in columbus knows what I'm talking about. I like their music, just not this song that much, though it is actually growing on me.
The beats a little too soft. Great video and great artist.
@guzikov They play at small venues, meet with their fans, and sell their own merch because this is UNDERGROUND RAP. Next time get your facts straight before you make yourself look stupid.
@MisterBrainwash AKA: The Hipster ;)
I spend a retarded amount of time on youtube watching music videos, and I have to admit this is one of the best video-concepts I've seen in a long time. Also, Blueprint is fuckin' awesome!
@phant0mfighter truth
