Lewiee Blaze Prepares to Reintroduce Soul-Stirring Album “ONE OF ONE”
Minneapolis artist Lewiee Blaze is gearing up to bring his introspective 11-track album “ONE OF ONE” to major streaming platforms. Marking a powerful shift in tone and purpose, the project blends transformation, spirituality, and survival, anchored by standout tracks like “Church in the Trenches.”
Minneapolis-based artist Lewiee Blaze is preparing to bring his soul-baring album “ONE OF ONE” to a broader audience, announcing that the project — originally released exclusively on his birthday, November 11 — will soon be available on all major streaming platforms.
The 11-track album marks a new chapter in Blaze’s evolution as a lyricist and creative, blending introspective storytelling with themes of transformation, spirituality, and survival. Its tracklist includes:
- 1 of them 1s
- The Great Flood
- Mic Checka
- Sacrifices
- Black Clouds
- Church in the Trenches
- Hold Me Down
- Mind on a Milly
- Toast to the Losses
- Die2Live or Live2Die
- It Was All A Dream…
Coming off a recent Juneteenth tour that took him through community events and celebrations across the Twin Cities, Blaze is entering a new era, one shaped by liberation rather than expectation.
“This project is different,” Blaze said in an interview with the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder. “I’m moving forward with my music and with my life, putting it out into the world without any expectations. I’m just surrendering myself to the process.”
Blaze, whose early career leaned into mainstream sounds and high-energy tracks, now gravitates toward music that’s more reflective and grounded in message. Though he distances himself from labels like “conscious rapper,” the shift in tone is unmistakable.
“I’ve gone through a few phases as an artist,” he said. “Early on, I was just trying to create something people would turn up to. Now, I’m speaking from where I am. The place I’m going is going to take some very strong-minded individuals to ride with me.”
The title “ONE OF ONE” reflects that personal and artistic transformation. “As a person and as an artist, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to be accepted,” Blaze said. “But the truth is, nobody else is like me. Once I embraced that, I felt free — and this album is a reflection of that feeling.”
Blaze named “Church in the Trenches” as his favorite track on the project, noting its deeply personal tone and emotional resonance, and collaboration with local artists Juice Lord, Maya Marchelle, Jerome Richardson, and Latrez 100. “That one means a lot,” he said.
While an official release date for the wide digital distribution hasn’t been announced yet, Blaze is planning a listening party that will mark the first formal celebration for one of his projects. “This will be my first real album release party,” he said. “I’ve never really thrown one before, so I’m excited to do it the right way.”
To stay updated on the album’s release and upcoming events, fans can text “BLAZE” to 33777. “Once you’re tapped in, you’re officially a part of the Blaze train,” he said with a grin. “And it’s going to be one hell of a ride.”
From the trenches to the dream, Lewiee Blaze continues to push past limits — offering music that uplifts, challenges, and declares there’s only one of him.
“Simply, I’m one of one…” said Blaze.
