Get a revealing, behind-the-scenes look at local MC and producer Blueprint—a pivotal figure in Columbus’s hip-hop scene—with this new, self-portrait documentary. In King No Crown, Blueprint captures the ups and downs of being an independent artist during the release of his most recent album of the same title. Active in Columbus since the mid-1990s, Blueprint has received acclaim for his five solo records as well as collaborations with RJD2, Illogic, and Aesop Rock. (75 mins., DCP)
