His third, and strongest, outing to date, Priest, Thief + Wizard is a solid collection of infectious grooves destined to win friends and influence people. Blame One spits with classic cool. Poised and poetic, his rhymes are silk and exercise a constant flow with casual, sparsely interjected rupture. This is a page straight from the textbook of hip-hop theory. Blame One is truly an MCâs MC.

Stemming from a purely independent production philosophy, Blame Oneâs creations exhibit a very unique hip-hop presence. Unexcitable, unexaggerated, and yet unadulterated, on the mic it would seem that Blame One just doesnât give a shit. Maybe itâs that he gives too much. He speaks the real for those drowning in the overblown. No bullshit. No ego trips. This is hip-hop for hip-hoppers without any time for bumptious, hyperbolic beats.

Blame Oneâs music speaks for itself. Consistently throwing it back to old school funk/soul, his beats are classic to the core with literate intelligible rhymes to sink your teeth into. This is serious substance. A typical, anti-modern hip-hop backlash is complemented with legitimate commentary of politics, life and the wave-like effect of our actions. Like some preachy MCâs, Blame One doesnât claim to be a revolutionary, nor does he lecture from an infallible perspective. The album is accompanied by the simple request that you just listen. Simply take heed.

Honestly, youâd be foolish to pass this one up. An MC like this is rare. Catch it before he explodes, goes major label and the world wants to get their fingers in it. This is the real, raw hip-hop scripture and it might not be pure for long.
