New Boldy out!

 

[debso]

Cons: the production sounds the same on all the tracks (I would have no prob if it were all daringer or alchemist but this isn't that. it's still nice tho)...some tracks are better than others as far as production. Wish daringer, beat butcha and alc handled the bulk and then jr swiftz, sadhugold and jay versace did the rest BUT

Pros: this is easily on par with hwh6, 7 and p4p. Tape is fiiiiiiiiiire. Lyrically this is wtf is needed in hip hop. Its def only up from here. Soon as he appears on more tracks with benny and Conway......wooooo...

Elcamino had a dope verse.
Keisha Plum had a dope verse.

Glad to see elcamino is on Conway's new tape coming out too.

After the first listen it was just ok. Like debso said the production is pretty much the same. Elcamino honestly should have been next.

I wasn't moved by the album after the first spin

 

[24karat]

Like others are saying, I wished there was Daringer production on the tape and a lot of the beats feels the same (doesn't mean they're bad though). Boldy really killed it, he's vivid with the rhymes, and his laidback flow is just fire.

Boldy is just on a hot run right now with two of his albums being top 5 this year to me.

 

[Peep Game]

Pretty much the same sentiments on Boldy’s album. I think it’s probably a good thing the album was as short as it was, otherwise it would’ve worn thin much faster.

I’m not gonna let being spoiled by other Griselda projects being immaculate leave me jaded and agree with yous
I think this **** slap
Get in traffic with it .. give it more time I’m sure y’all will come around

 

[rocyaice]

I like this Boldy James but I agree with sentiments above....production is very bland. And Boldy's laid back flow doesn't help either.

 

[definition of dopeness]

It’s cool off one listen. Smooth listen.

This Jay Versace kid finds some dope loops, he obviously hates drums tho lol. He’s aight for a track or 2 on a project but not a full project.

I just don’t hear it my man.

Yeah I guess he's good because he feels he found a lane but yeah that's a acquired taste to listen to those type of beats for a whole album.

 

[thegrandpuba26]

Very iffy about this. I think the beats are very very obscure, but good Lord, Boldy is rappin out of his mind.

 

[jr paperstacks]

Boldy needs harder beats than this. He gotta be able to have a convo with the beats—on this, it feels like he’s just...rapping. Him and the beats are on two different types of time.

It’s cool though.

 

[jaymosenvied]

Played it 3 times and yeah this don’t really move me. His last joint was way better. Really waiting for Conway to drop.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Brick Van Exel

 

[KingJamesTheFifth]

THAT BEING SAID WHEN WE GETTING SOME MO STOVE JESUS

 

[debso]

I just don’t hear it my man.

yeah, you're right. :/ lyrically its there but production wise na.

Listened to it all day and enjoyed it more and more with each listen. Drove home earlier this evening, sunset looking nice, and the album just hits.

Boldy James done released three great albums (2 being my personal top 5 this year) in ONE year.

[MajinZuub]

He should've got Marciano if he wanted to do the no drums thing

 

[gettmitt]

Boldy is snapping on these Versace beats though, i get it, but one listen in the airpods and i was like this is beautiful...Great jazzy loops and Boldy talking some of the hardest ish, its a great mix IMO....Great Sunset listen!! im so ready for that Benny & Hit-Boy project though!

I've been spinning the tape all weekend and I take back everything I said - I absolutely love the tape. It also dropped to 70 degrees with a nice breeze all weekend and Griselda **** just sounds better with a hoodie on.

I normally don't care for reviews but I think the Pitchfork review summed up the Versace tape perfectly - "This album is warm, as if it was all dipped in sepia.".
