1988 is the debut solo album from critically acclaimed producer & emcee Blueprint. As Weightless frontman and half of Ohio dynamic duo Soul Position (Blueprint & rjd2), Blueprint is by no means a new artist. With releases like 8 MILLION STORIES and the UNLIMITED EP as well as numerous appearances with his Weightless crew and his unforgettable addition to Aesop Rock's DAYLIGHT EP, Blueprint has proven his talent and versatility by producing tracks for Aesop Rock, Vast Aire, Illogic among others. With 1988 Blueprint returns not attempting to recreate hip hop past but in his own way pay homage to the beats, breaks and themes of possibly the most revered year in hip hop '88.
