With his fourth studio album, King No Crown, critically acclaimed mc/producer Blueprint has continued his constant evolution by combining the boom-bap chops of his 2014 project Respect the Architect (Weightless Recordings) with the genre-defying aesthetic of his 2011 album Adventures in Counter-Culture (Rhymesayers Entertainment). The end result is 60-minutes of uninterrupted music that effortlessly transitions from song to song without a single moment of pause or silence, a meticulous production effort handled entirely by Blueprint. Lyrically, Blueprint provides his trademark honesty–paying tribute to hip-hop, lost loved ones, and the legacy of fallen artists Eyedea and J. Dilla–making King No Crown his most personal and conceptual project to date.

Blueprint’s new album King No Crown will be available April 28th or Weightless Recordings.

staHHr has been perfecting her craft and honing her lyrical warrior skills since the latter part of hip hop’s” Golden Era”. Carving a niche for herself by interweaving intellect, natural law, metaphysics and social awareness with the essence of pure, unadulterated hip hop, she consistently provides a welcome breath of fresh air. No stranger to the elements and culture of hip hop, staHHr has earned stripes and sharpened her sword in street ciphers, mc battles (Blaze, The Source, Red Bull, etc.) and performing on local, national and global stages. During the course of her career, this verbal vanguard has accumulated a global fan base and an impressive resume of releases that include DOOM’s “Mm Food” and “Born Like This”, King Geedorah‘s “Take Me to Your Leader” and The Micranots “Obelisk Movements”.

staHHr is an integral part of the Atlanta Hip Hop community and formerly the lone feminine component of the Subverse Music and Metal Face Records rosters. Although she’s been releasing music, doing features and performing with other artists for close to two decades, it wasn’t until 2008 that she unleashed her debut solo album “Almost Neva Was” via the Beatvizion Music digital imprint. Renown for her phenomenal spontaneous freestyle ability, high energy and lyrics that embody the essence of the “Golden Era Future”, this sister has more than earned those “two H’s for hip hop” in her attribute. staHHr has worked and performed with a diverse group of artists that includes Del, DOOM, John Robinson, Ab-Soul, Jasiri X, Luciano, Amiri Baraka, Stacy Epps, Homeboy Sandman, Boot Camp Clik, J-Live, C-rayz Walz and dead prez.

Just as passionate about health and nutrition as she is music, staHHr has been applying and self studying holistic health, nutrition, alternative healing and diet for close to two decades and is also a talented crochet artist. She has plans to provide her nutrition and dietary counseling/coaching services to artists, a group that she feels could benefit greatly from making more sound diet and lifestyle choices.

Poised with mic in hand and an unending reservoir of lyrics, light and love, staHHr’s mission and focus is simple: preserve, innovate, heal and bring balance to the culture of hip hop with her music. Welcome to the Golden Era Future.
