about

After shelving the idea to create this album in 2012, a deep personal conviction has inspired BledJon that now is the perfect time to release his first album. Previously, BledJon has worked with artists such as Sevin of HOG MOB, Joe Kool, and his brother Demo on their albums respectively. The Popular Loner however, tells his own personal story about the process his life has taken up to present day.

When BledJon decided it was time to start recording, he revamped his original idea and attempted to expand it creatively. Every song was to be a concept within a larger full thought of what would be: The Popular Loner. Written to be seen as a full piece of art rather than individual songs, one can see a larger picture if played from start to finish. Heavily metaphorical, intensely realistic, conceptually clever, and emotionally gripping The Popular Loner covers a multitude of emotions.

Musically, the sound of BledJon isn’t very reflective of his local Bay Area sound. Stylistically, his writings are almost poetic in format. Vocally, his voice has a distinct rasp to it. You can catch a sense of his conceptual humor on the track “Doughnuts”. “Hard to Express” is a weighty song, well-articulated (despite the song title) with an alternative chorus. “Prodigal” is a party anthem that will have the listener bumping up and down to a lively instrumental and catchy hook. “Communion” is very warm track with an instrumental that becomes more extensive with each verse and which hook is brilliantly sung by Fredrick Alexander II. The Popular Loner is closed out with a powerfully inspiring song about identity with “Passover”.

In scope, conceptually, lyrically, and thematically The Popular Loner is a creatively alternative way of telling a vividly vulnerable story through hip-hop music.
