2189 presents the return of Columbus’s BLUEPRINT!A little over 10 years ago we brought him to our beloved section of earth and October 18th he returns!
BLUEPRINT VESSEL ALBUM AND TOUR
In 2024, when underground hip-hop pioneer Blueprint (Rhymesayers/Weightless) released his five-song Falling Down EP, it marked the end of a six year absence from releasing music. And
while his core fans were happy with the introspective and uplifting songs that marked his return to the game, the shortness of the project also left them wanting a proper full-length album.
On July 29th, 2025 those fans will be finally getting that, as Blueprint announced the release of his ninth solo album, Vessel.
Originally slated as the follow-up to his 2018 album Two-Headed Monster, Vessel’s initial 2020 release was shuttered first due to the covid pandemic and later due to Blueprint’s subsequent
disappearance from the music industry. This was quite a blow to someone who had been a full-time artist for twenty years leading up to that point. Blueprint recalls, “Once the covid lockdowns happened and shut down every music venue and pretty much the entire music industry, I had no choice but to postpone the release of Vessel. Since there was no way to make money for a couple of years, I decided to just get a regular job for a while and take some
time away from the music industry.”
The year 2025 will not only mark Blueprint’s return to releasing full-length albums, it will also mark his release to doing nationwide tours. He will kick off the release of Vessel with album release shows on August 1st in Dayton, Ohio and August 2nd in Columbus, Ohio before heading out for a 40-city tour across the United States and Canada. Accompanying him on his headlining tour will be DJ Detox from Columbus, OH. “I’m just excited to be out there again, sharing my music with the people. When I was away
from music, I wasn’t sure if this opportunity would ever come around again. So, I’m just thankful.” Known for his uplifting anthems like “Persevere” and “Don’t Look Back,” Vessel is one
of Blueprint’s most personal and uplifting albums to date.
Vessel will be released July 29th on Weightless Recordings.
