Two of Columbus, Ohio’s main underground hip-hop ambassadors, MCs Illogic and Blueprint share a penchant for flurries of imagery and baldly knocking all things wack while maintaining an intellectual sheen. Blueprint’s curiosity extends beyond verse and into production, including some rather beautiful downtempo on the mostly instrumental albumsChamber Music and Sign Language. (He also produced his 2005 solo album 1988.) Blueprint and Illogic recently released the free six-song EP Electric Purgatory—Part One under the name Greenhouse. Both MCs’ raps seem as nimble and complex as ever, and Blueprint’s beats on the EP are a fine example of how to blend the funky and the atmospheric.
