In 1995, the group released its eponymous debut album, putting the collective’s artists together for every one to hear and taking their sound from open-mics to a full-length project.
2005 brought Project Blowed: 10th Anniversary, an album celebrating ten years of Blowedian creativity. By this time, Project Blowed had grown in numbers (with Busdriver and Open Mike Eagle joining the ranks) and most of the artists and groups had made solo names for themselves.
Figures of Speech member Ava “Eve” DuVernay would go on to direct the 2008 documentary, This is the Life, chronicling the West Coast’s hip-hop center in The Good Life Cafe. It features many members of Project Blowed.
