Considering I’m heading out to catch Atmosphere (for like the 20th time haha), Blueprint, Budo and Grieves at the House of Blues in a few hours; I figured I’d shed some light on this joint. The Orphanage is/was a loose collective that included Slug, Blueprint, Aesop Rock, Eyedea and Illogic. Sadly, the group never officially released any projects (and I think it’s safe to say that every single indie hip hop fan is still disappointed to this day). We did atleast get a few tracks/freestyles though. This one in particular can be found on Blueprint’s 2003 release, The Weightroom.

@Green Monster
no problem. it’s in the post now.
I saw the Atmosphere show on Tuesday in Sacramento. Needless to say, it blew my socks onto my ass. Blueprint and Atmosphere are so good live.
that’s DJ Abilities not Eyedea.
^abilities, eyedea…all white people look alike. and they kinda look similar in that pic. but “obsolete” was the shit. too bad they never dropped that orphanage shit.
The beat, lyrics, good gosh on some dope shit
On a hardrive somewhere hope to god there is a stash of Orphange tracks ready to leak.. like how CRS recorded 5 tracks but we only heard 2. A fan can dream eh
Dope, nice post

That Sage and Apathy style is awesome. That was the stuff that got me into hip-hop.
I love how Sage laughs/yells after that Big Pun line.
SHAKE YOU’RE MY HERO
I had these frees on my old pc but lost them and couldn’t find it anywhere. This shit made my day
The entire Break of Dawn freestyle is dope as shit; Where is “Hold Mine” Shake?
Can someone let these whiteboy wanna be wrappers know that there already is a group named orphanage. And they are Wu FAM. Just ask 4th Disciple and Lord Superb. Son u whiteys are messing with the wu.
