So mobb is the tree above that tree. Black.
@Stones Jones Yes Sir, like Conway say. I came up on Mobb Deep.
Peace
@@OGCNNDSK peace homie
Alchemist is a fucking genius everyone he works with is instant classic joint
Boldy been on such an insane run over the last couple years. One of the best MC’s in the game rn.
FOR SURE
Super facts
He’s the real deal live too, crazy breath control
First discovered him rapping on his cousin Chuck Inglish beats back in 2012. He was fire back then but couldn’t catch a break. Now look at him!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@elijahgavin6706 too fire live him and Al were insane. They are the best act on this tour he's on and they are all really good performers
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST.
HIM AND ALCHEMIST ARE MAGICAL TOGETHER. PRODIGY IS SMILING 😃
It'll be dope if one Day he and Al can Collab with Royce and Primo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can't front P really left him mark with the underground MCs and u can hear it, not taking anything away from anyone.
Boldy’s latest record with Nicholas Craven is easily one of the tightest rap records this year. He’s really at his finest on records like Power Nap and Scrabble
Yeah. Fair Exchange is a fuckin book. Excellent read.
Leaning off this 6 of Tris im finna catch some 💤s
@@mcloven808 "Drank gotta nigga moving slow like I got special needs, never needed niggas for shit that was my expertise"
Stuck in traffic is crazy
@J Hill Facts. Crazy, because I've been runnin that track back all day
Stop sleeping on Boldy! “Super Tecmo Bo” album is still top tier
Alchemist and Boldy are the best producer-rapper duo since Dr. Dre and Eminem
the fact Super Tecmo Bo is B Sides from Bo Jackson is unreal. Boldy is on fire rn
They are ?
Price of tea is a classic
@@user-tk7rl6hw6c yeah those were b side cuts and still 🔥🔥🔥
Been on Boldy for over a decade, so good to see where he's at now. Built an organic fanbase and cultivated it
Right!! First discovered him rapping on his cousin Chuck Inglish beats back in 2012. He was fire back then but couldn’t catch a break. Now look at him!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
🙌🏿 from gone fishing & his gems on the mass appeal channel. Missed I couldn't make the LA show from his recent tour
@@Cleanthecityinc what the fuckkkkk, there's no way that was 10 yrs ago
💯💪
Facts been here since fat raps
People booboo for ignoring this man's music. Hits on every level
His voice dont change even when he excited or sad. Same voice
He's a good artist but I hate personas like his because it is just a mask.
I mean when you do a lot opiates and weed you can actually have vocal inflections like this because of how your timing is messed up.
That's the same way I am. It's all good
He lit that blunt for a long time!!!😂🤣😂
@88T True story!!
Drugged out, fked up
One of the few bar masters left
Agreed
Some of the shit he say I be having to bring ⏪ that shit back literally not gon front & I been listening to HIP-HOP bars since black Bart
Boldy James verse on "It's Possible "
Off of "HWH7" still 🔥 til this day!!!
His verse on Claymore Kick is probably his best feature to me
Hell yea. I thought he was a West Coaster at first. That was my intro to dude
One ofy fav slappers
Buffs vs wires verse goes hard
Yeah dat joint is 🔥 frfr but, the last verse on moochie yo. He murked dat shit ONG!
Crazy, I was listening to Boldy all day today, and now a fresh interview! 🙏🏾
Fr Fr
💯💯💯
I went from a few all days to listening to mostly Boldy for the better part of 2 years.
Grandma cussin' me out, "Quit runnin' in and out the house
What's all the fuss about? It's either cut me in or cut it out"
Ain't grow up with no silver spoon, we had to thug it out
I hid a half-a-slab in my room, just waitin' for the drought
Boy be talkin don't he!?! 👑🗣💥
Carruth ⛽️
It’s those bars that make me pause and go, “Oh… Oh, okay… He’s been doing this since he was a teenager. I remember moments like that with dudes’ moms, aunts, older sisters, etc.”(Which is when you really get started in that world. Almost nobody shows up late in life to that lifestyle.)
This man has such a Dope Rap Voice- Great Lyrics ,wordplay etc. His Joints with Roc Marciano are always Jewels.Badlands 2022
Boldy been on a run for a minute but these last couple years have been phenomenal dude hasn't missed on albums or features
Boldy James and The Alchemist are a legendary duo
🔥🔥
Nope Wes Craven
An Underground Legend in the Building 💯🔥
Boldy one of my favorite rappers out period 🔥 Price of tea in China, Bo Jackson LP and Super Tecmo all incredible projects
totally agree, insane the shit he's being putting out with Alc
Been a fan of Boldy Ever since My 1st Chemistry Set glad he’s finally get the shine he deserves after all these years.

Hahahahahaha
It's crazy how ppl in detroit my city don't know about boldy this nigga got bars one of the best albums of the year bo Jackson classic.
Because he dont have that typical detroit sound. Boldy too different for these young nikkas
@@joeyhiii6326 him & Elzhi are the best Detroit rite now
@@joeyhiii6326most the young Detroit dudes I heard had that old Cash Money sound wit the beats or tried to replicate it. Boldy a different cloth💯
@@ronaldjames7843facts, El be killin shit. Especially his verse on Conway song "212"🔥
One of the hardest bars I’ve ever heard was from Boldy
“First come first serve, first through the third no dealins.
Mama i apologize I aint mean to hurt yo feelins”
THat's a hella weak line. WTF are you talking about.
@@vladav313that shit is hard TF are you talking about
Boldy SHOULD do a Tiny Desk concert!
Boldy word play is sick people don't listen hard enough to understand the shit he saying he kills shit while being so relaxed my favorite track so far is Bumps and Bruises love from Texas 💯
Really been a fan of this dude for a long time now. Glad he’s starting to get the recognition he deserves. 227
The Versace Tape and Bo Jackson classic!
Price of tea in china too

🎶 "Gooolden laaady!😫....gooolden laaady!😫🎶 🔥
Bo and Alchemist the new Gang Starr
Bravo. This interview was fantastic. I won't act like I have been subbed and have seen all your work; admittedly I haven't. But wow. You have a legendary guest, you let them talk?!?? So many other interviewers constantly cut off the guest and it always seems like a questionnaire rather than a conversation. This was great. Subscribed now.
Exactly great listen
Have honestly been on boldy since 2011 and his projects are fire
Boldy really been one of my favorite rappers ever for a min love to see this man progressing Fr💯‼️

Saw the nba leather tour when they came to NYC, Seeing boldy live and I could say hes legit! I always rocked with him since fat raps remix on finally famous 3 but watching him this time around and listening to his stuff with Alc, Ive became an even bigger fan
He the first rapper I seen on a interview where he face a whole j and rolled another one taking his time still answering interviewers questioned and face that one
That VERSACE TAPE=🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stood across from this man when he was in DC and the moment I walked up to him to dap him up he had to leave. He bodied his set from start to finish and had the whole crowd bobbin their heads.
this is a great fuckin example of persistence and dedication to SELF and your mission.
from Jammin In The Morning to THIS?? NIGGAZ AINT GOT NO EXCUSE!
Keep goin Boldy the world watching bro
Jammin 30 was one of his coldest projects tho no lie
So glad to see he's doing good ..."go fish " "nautica yatch club" was my favorite 💙💙
I just saw him on Sunday in Dallas 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was hoping he would start off with, "Block work, where we at wit' it?" As usual, just like all his projects..he didn't disappoint! Salute Bo Jack! Live from Illwaukee. 💯✌🏾👊🏾

Oh! I musta forgot Chuck Inglish is his cousin knew they were close just not related. S/o Boldy & the Cool Kids man pioneers in this Hip Hop reinvigoration
Sir Mike & Chuck are beasts. Banco & While You Wait are fire ass albums
That’s how he was introduced to me tbh the contrast of them made me fw them heavy, Boldy sayin real ass shit over unorthodox Cool Kids beats 🔥😂

They went to Penn U in Philly, so hearing Boldy related is dope asf.
boldy easily a top rapper the early 2000’s generation bro literally everything fire. idk how he does it but it’s just back to back i got whole albums in my playlists cuz i just can’t pick. he gon be one of the biggest names easily before he’s done
That money come and go, but who gon' be there when it's gone?
When you was off your square but I bet they was there when it was on
The moment all your tokens gone, no minutes on your phone
God bless the child that hold his own, that shit hit close to home
One of my favorite emcees
damn, i was JUST listening to “Consideration” .. then come on RUclips and see this.. Good lookin’! 💯
Boldy really has potential to be the
biggest voice for Detroit . it seems like he’s already at peace, so what’s the need to change? Much respect to his decision to trust his wits and stay with something that seemingly never failed him 🤝
Amazing interview, shit is eerily Detroit but so genuine you gotta love it.
That tecmo bowl album is a classic to me. Bumps and Bruises is my shit!
Most slept on artist in the last decade
This my Nigga right here Detroit royalty iyky
Love the unity y’all got and Great music keep it going bro. Peace ✌🏿💯
"WHERE we at wit it" 💯
When you was raised all through the city and you got them real relationships with the higher uppers it’s easy to get put in the middle of the politics. Bro kept it 100 about the Dugg & Sada shit.
