I actually like the single, Boldy switching up the subject matter.

Iโ€™m probably in the minority that thinks Boldys discography is a mess, has a lot of great projects but a lot of forgettable 1s too.

This misses to me are usually due to whoever is handling the production.

That last tape that dropped I was only feeling 1 song

It wasn't messy until after 2022, IMO.

The Alc projects, the ones with Real Bad Man, Nicholas Craven, and Futurewave were all really dope. In 2023 when he started doing the ones with RichGains, ChanHays, Carlo, Royal House, and all these others dudes that are (respectfully) beneath his skill level, it definitely got messier.

I think 1 or 2 things (or both) are going on.

1. He's got serious medical bills after his extended hospital stay, physical therapy, and medical bills when he almost died in that car accident.
2. When he almost died, he realized life can be gone in a split second, and might as well get busy while he's alive to do it.
Edit: He also has another child on the way.

He's definitely dropping at a crazy pace, and the Conductor project is the major standout one to me of past 2 years, but all of this being said, there's nothing he's doing that will make me not want to check for him when he drops with producers I really fukk with. I'm still here for the new ones with Alc, V Don, and the Dilla one (assuming it ever drops.) Most of his projects with these producers I don't care for I just don't go back to.
:manny:
But when he's locked in with a dope producer he's one of the best :wow:
