Blueprint Announces New Album “Deleted Scenes” Due Oct 16th





The Rhymesayers artist and Weightless Recordings founder Blueprint, who dropped the critically-acclaimed
 album Adventures in Counter-Culture in 2011, announces the release of a new project called Deleted Scenes. The 15-track project will be released Tuesday October 16th on the independent imprint he has ran for over 10-years, Weightless Recordings.


In describing the Deleted Scenes album, Blueprint comments:


“I wrote and recorded at least 75 songs for my last album, Adventures in Counter-Culture. Only 15 of those songs were chosen for the final tracklist. Many of the remaining songs were good (some very good), but weren’t chosen for the album because their vibe or message didn’t fit the overall theme that I was going for. I soon realized that although these songs didn’t fit into what Adventures in Counter-Culture ultimately turned into, they still played a significant role in telling my story. After revisiting many of these songs, I came to the conclusion that the best of them should be heard by the people who support me to the fullest, so I took some time to fully produce these songs. The result is Deleted Scenes


Track List:
1. Starting Out
2. Takin’ It
3. Get Right – Featuring Dominique Larue
4. The American Dream – Featuring Adoria
5. True Love – Featuring Angelica Lee
6. Body Movin’
7. Never Grow Old – featuring Angelic Lee
8. Bells & Whistles
9. The Mask
10. Bartenders – featuring Zero Star
11. Babies Got Guns
12. I Wanna Go – featuring Nina D
13. Senseless
14. Leave Me Alone – featuring Terry Troutman of Zapp
15. Packt Like

Yes, This Is A Bong Shaped Like An AR-15 Assault Rifle


There's a certain type of weed-smoker that will never cease to amaze me. You know the type: the guy who's never content to casually puff-puff-pass on a joint or a bowl, who's always talking about his newest multi-chambered, ice-filled piece, and who's always insisting that you turn your kitchen sink into a gravity bong for the night. Well, the final word for these technology-obsessed, bigger-is-better stoners has just arrived.
That's right. This here is a 3-foot-long glass bong shaped exactly like an AR-15 assault rifle. That's the bowl up on top of the scope. Apparently you take hits from the guns barrel. It's all a little ridiculous, if you ask me, but it certainly is something to behold.
The best part? The bong, a one-off piece by glass artist Robert Mickelsen, has already sold, so your annoying buddy can't buy it and brag about it to you.
