Blueprint – Put It On Wax / No Bottle Service

5 out of 5

Label: Weightless

Produced by: Blueprint

Two amazing instrumentals included as a bonus 7″ to Chamber Music II.

It seems these are unique to this 7″, but feel free to let me know otherwise – I can’t find listings for the songs elsewhere, meaning I think these are intended to be instrumentals. And not that ‘Print doesn’t already make great beats for his and others’ vocal tracks, but that these (maybe) were designed to be listened to as-is perhaps accounts for how over-the-top good they are.

Put It On Wax is a bit darker and grooving, really layering the sounds and samples in a way that’s deserving of its title. The tracks just feels alive, and needs (or at least benefits from) the audio qualities that come with being on a non-digital format.

No Bottle Service is a bit more of a standard Blueprint bop, a bit more upbeat and soulful, and fits with something you might hear from King No Crown.

Absolutely tracks that deserve a highlight, and not just extras that wound up on a 7″.
