Boldy James signed a distribution deal with Roc Nation.

He can be super monotone and every verse starts sounding like every other verse…maybe that’s what you’re not feeling? Cause his flow is tough, …he just never changes it, lol

he actually sounded like he had extra energy on the project he did with Conductor Williams

 

[mozichrome]

salute to the brother. love his music. very consistent with his work

 

[Gifted one]

One of the best artists putting music out right now, where we at wit it

 

[Piff Perkins]

Best rapper right now, grats to him. I wonder if this means he's no longer on Griselda?

He probably still reps but ain’t got paperwork with them no more (all that time with them and the only thing he dropped with them was The Versace Tape)

Hopefully it actually benefits him and isn’t just a headline because Jayz is involved and that’s all..

I mean what realistically do you expect from it? They just distributing it. Nothing gonna change for him

i used to think he was special needs back in 2013.

Now he’s the best rapper in my catalogue.




Price of Tea in China changed a lot.

I just don't get this guy, first listened to him on 1st Chemistry Set. The rhymes can be dope but his flow is bullshyt IMO it's a shame he does so much stuff with Alc because he's one of my fav producers. I'm gonna check out this Tech Bo album tho on the strength of Coli brehs maybe I'll like that one

Give him another shot bro. His flow and cadences are crazy. It just may not stand out at first because of his monotone voice, but he has a ton of crazy effortless flows that are intricate and skillful. He's got some left-handed slightly unorthodox flows, and tons of great picture painting storytelling. And the most coded and most slang since Rae and Ghost. he always says tons of new crazy slang I haven't heard before.

Same here. I used to think he was kinda trash and he's been in my top 3 any given year since Tea in China dropped

Good I guess, but what does Roc Nation get from signing these old rappers

They fans still buy merch they get a percentage of that

They do really well on tours underground

Roc Nation has a mixture of deals and on the lower level a lot of them are just Jay giving people he fukks with cash or access to run in the underground. This isn't a deal about recouping xyz, it's just distro. The real revenue Roc Nation pulls in is from the bigger artists they have alongside the other shyt (sports agency, touring, etc).
