An indie MC coming out of San Diego, Blame One has been doing his thing for a minute, putting in work in the depths of the underground scene since throughout the '00s. On Endurance, he connects with a wide variety of beat mongers, with a different producer lacing each of the album's 16 tracks. Like the featured guest rappers, most of them are way below the radar, but nonetheless provide an assortment of solid sample-heavy jams for him to rock on. Sporting a distinctly lyrical approach, focused more on wordy verses than catchy hooks, he rhymes primarily about his family, daily routine, and true love for hip-hop. "Still Doin Me" and "Brett Favre'n It" discuss his undying dedication to his craft, "Classic Hits" is a nice little organ-propelled joint comparing himself to golden era V.I.P.s, while "CA All Day" is a thoroughly funky celebration of his resident state, as well as a strong posse cut featuring local homies Jimmy Powers, Kahlee, Saviorself, and Nothinless.
