Boldy James & The Alchemist - Bo Jackson (Discussion Thread)

Boldy getting better and better, Al tapped into a bunch of different chemistry sets on this. When these two link, their not cranking these out in few days and putting it out there. 4/4

@TheDarceKnight I always got the sense that Boldy is a big fan of the old Alchemist sound that he did with Mobb Deep, Nas, The Lox, etc just based on what they've cooked up together.

I think so too.

The spirit of P was definitely in the room when they made this, or at the very least Flight Risk. I can't get over how much that sounds like a joint that would've sounded right at home on Albert Einstein. That's a perfect beat for P.

Also, the drums on Steel Wool are from this classic P joint.

That joint's gonna have to grow on me. Diamond Dallas is my least favorite on here and I'm sad because I was looking forward to it more than any other joint. I wanted a Stove God verse and something about the slow tempo right after Speed Trap seems jarring. I love the guitar solo on the outro though.

I like this album more than I liked Price of Tea when it dropped, so I'm sure Diamond Dallas will get better to me

I want to hear more Boldy and Conway too. They recorded something together when the 30+ joints for Boldface and Tea in China were recorded I've got that beat below, and the only other they've done together. First video should start at 1 minute in. You can see them writing together. Hopefully we'll get it at some point. The 2nd joint is a song they did together with Currensy.

FLIGHT RISK

edit: this was definitely a Prodigy beat

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I really hope these 2 joints end up on the Deluxe Edition. There was footage the other week of Boldy rapping to this first beat, so it's definitely a song they made. I have a feeling they made a lot more than this than what we heard, and there may be some dope bonus material on the way before 2022.
