This is the newest leak from San Diego rap veteran, Blame One’s upcoming album, Days Chasing Days. The song is “Wonder Why,” featuring the dynamic duo, Blu & Exile - but in a refreshing reversal of roles, the song actually features Exile rapping (with Blu providing the hook), and Blu aka GODlee Barnes on the beat. If his work on HerFavoriteColo(u)r didn’t already, “Wonder Why” should assure you that Mr. Barnes is truly no slouch on the production tip.
This is the second song released from the album, as a follow-up to the first single, "Disturbed", which featured Sean Price and was produced by Exile. While Ex handes the bulk of the production on Days Chasing Days (he’s also billed as presenting the album), Blame also shines over beats by other heavyweights such as Black Milk, Oh No, Kankick and more.
For more from Blame One, you can check him out freestyling over another one of Exile’s beloved live MPC improv sessions. You can watch two videos of those practice sessions going down after the jump after you get your free download below.
Originally from Baltimore, San Diego rapper, poet, mc, Blame One is no new jack. Since 9 this cat has been not only rappen and making songs but in his early age you could find him on stage. He was one of those young prodigy rappers you would see at a show and you would be like " Dam that little white kid is rippen!" Yup this cat was not even a teenager before he shared the stage with the likes of west coast legend King Tee. After recording different demos and songs over tape loops and what not blame formed a group with childhood friend Deja Vu and formed the group Mysteries Extinction. Deja was cousins with another slept on mc, Gods Gift and they began making music together with then Loot Pack member Kan KIck. One of Blames earlier songs was even produced by Madlib, (without his knowledge but recorded by OH NO like in 94.) Moving on to 95-96 you could catch Blame making songs with the likes of Emanons Exile and Aloe Blacc to now makin songs with Mainflow and Johaz.
After all this work you may be asking, why have i never heard of this dude? Well for one if you really do something for love as Blame does, then love is all the payment you need. Blame is a real humble cat and he humbly was satisfied with just doing local shows and selling stuff to cats face to face. Also people are just not checkin for cats in San Diego as they should be. But now with help of long time friend Exile the two have formed an album that can not be held back by where your from but can only be held up in acclaim by where one's at! With production from Exile, Kan Kick, Black MIlk, OH NO, Blu, and features from Sean P to Aloe Blacc, this album is not one to sleep on.
With over 19 years of rappin Blame is an OG in the game wheather you heard of him or not and now is his time to shine. So humbly open your minds, ears and hearts for this new album Days Chasing Days when it drops on March 31st!!!

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 MC’s MC.
Stemming from a purely independent production philosophy, Blame One’s creations exhibit a very unique hip-hop presence. Unexcitable, unexaggerated, and yet unadulterated, on the mic it would seem that Blame One just doesn’t give a shit. Maybe it’s 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 One’s 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 MC’s, Blame One doesn’t 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, you’d 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. *Taken from okayplayer.com

*a-FILI-ated* Seriously, you'd be a fool to pass up one of the best hip hop albums in 2006... if fact, one of the best hip hop albums, period!!! Blame is a supa dope MC with a silky smooth flow who seems to flow effortlessly over each & every track, backed by some serioulsy ill production, you'll be kickin yourself for not knowing about this dude earlier. He's got 2 other albums and a couple of EP's so hit me up if you want them. Also, he has a brand new album droppin late summer '08 called "Days Chasing Days" featuring big names such as Sean Price, Black Milk, Exile, Oh No, Blu & much more!!! To wet ya appetite peep this xclusive video of one the tracks from his forthcoming album called "Supreme Beings"... this has got me soo hyped it ain't even funny... do not sleep!!!!!
