| Info: | On Wednesday, April 12, 2006, Kapacity Entertainment proudly presents two of the hardest working artists in independent hip-hop, Rjd2 & Blueprint, aka Soul Position w/ special guest One Be Lo (Binary Star) at Babylon Nightclub. Ever since coming together as Soul Position in 2001, Columbus, Ohio natives Rjd2 & Blueprint have had their hands full with more solo work and side projects than most MCs or producers could fathom. When not crafting instrumental masterworks like his critically acclaimed debut Dead Ringer, RJ can be found producing for countless MCs like MF Doom, Cage, Copywrite, and Aceyalone, or providing remixes for non-hip-hop acts like Massive Attack. Meanwhile, Blueprint has recently made quite a name for himself as a MC/producer extraordinaire with the stellar album 1988 and continues to knock out tracks with his original crew, Greenhouse Effect and fellow Columbus rep Illogic. Although they both have a lot on their plates, this duo still somehow manages to find time to unite as Soul Position and produce some of the most sought after beats and rhymes out today. With the always-spirited Print on the mic and RJ deftly manning the boards, this pair caught the underground by storm with their 6-song EP, Unlimited, in 2002. Only a year later they got heads listening a lot more closely with their full-length debut, Eight Million Stories. As Blueprint expresses through Soul Position’s new material, it was a long, sometimes uncertain road from when they recorded Eight Million Stories until now. But with the duo back in action, as their new album’s title says, Things Go Better With RJ and Al. On this well-balanced release, Print delves into a greater variety of subject matter than ever, as he speaks on reshaping the Black identity in hip-hop and, on the lighter side, warns people not to waste his precious cell phone minutes. And as usual, RJ mines an abundance of funky samples for his partner in rhyme to enthusiastically rhyme over. On their new album, Soul Position dodges the dreaded sophomore jinx and delivers yet another gimmick-free release that’s sure to be one of the most talked about records of 2006. RJ played an amazing live set last year to a sold-out show in the nation’s capital. Now Ottawa finally get its chance to see this duo perform together. with special guest: ONE BE LO (ONE MAN ARMY of Binary Star ) Fat Beats local support: FONETIKS beats provided by: DJ ILLO Babylon Nightclub - 317 Bank St - Ottawa, ON - Doors: 9pm - 19= $15 in advance - more at the door Available at: Top of the World, Vertigo Records, Norml Clothing, Organised Sound, On Deck & Shoreline.
