Orphanage - 50 Minutes Freestyle

It's not easy to find any info about this hip-hop supergroup consisting (on/off) of Slug, Eyedea, Aesop Rock, Illogic, Sage Francis and Blueprint. You would think that a group like this would get a lot of attention, however they don't. Primarily because they haven't made any official releases, so most of what I was able to find was sporadic freestyles, some co-ops with Atmosphere and some internal work on each others albums. However I did find a show in full album-length with Blueprint and Illogic freestyling and performing some of their respective songs. Throughout the show appearances from the other rappers occur, but as said, it is Blueprint and Illogic primarily. The show suffers from bad sound and some surprisingly bad mic-skills from the rappers. It is a supergroup though, and they are some rather decent freestylers, so it's worth to check out, and it's worth keeping in mind for future releases. If you wan't to listen to some of their studio-work, they appear on Blueprints The Weightroom and Atmospheres Sean Like Ugly Girls 4.

Enjoy here.
