me too. I always look forward to the Boldy ones the most. I think Boldy gets the best batches of his beats, and does the most with them. Can't believe it's been over 3 years since Bo Jackson and Tecmo Bo.

I think you're right. Alc & Boldy should drop a 12 track album (at least) once every 12-14 months to keep us fed.

Is boldy even on griselda as a normal artist? We still haven’t got a boldy album fully produced by the griselda producer lineup: heartbreakers, daringer, alc beats, jr swiftz etc

Maybe it’s never gona happen I always looked forward to that I wonder what the holdup. Most times boldy just releases tapes with no name producers on a monthly basis, a lot of which I don’t replay besides a couple songs. I’d rather get an album than those tbh.

Honestly a new alc produced boldy album is high level art anyway. All those alc/boldy albums in the last 5 years are top albums in the years they were released. So even if their isn’t an official griselda album I’ll take a boldy/alc album as the official gxfr albums. That’s probably what It is anyway. Honestly a alc/boldy album is more than likely better anyway. But I’d rather have both lol🤷🏾‍♂️two official albums (one gxfr album and one boldy/alc album) that would be amazing.


That Rome streetz/daringer album was good but it wasn’t that great to me as a month went by. I still like it but it’s not that amazing production wise. Also that album was probably a gxfr solo Rome streetz album for 2024. I wonder if the boldy/alc albums are kindve the same thing.


The fact that we getting a boldy/alc album is really good news. Price of tea in china, bo jack, and super tecmo bo are all classic albums in my book. Super tecmo is a straight Christmas time album for me. It sounds like a December snow album. In 2022 wen it had just came out It was snowing alot i was driving listening to to super tecmo bo rushing to the mall to buy a ps5 since they had 2 in stock. Lol that album holds a special place for me like the other two (potc & Bo Jack).

As much as I love GXFR the core 3's releases have all been ehhhhhh (the last 2-3 years)

Benny's album was just aiiiight (fukk a hit boy), the alc stuff was dope but the rest was unnecessary.

Gunn doing his thing still, that tape that dropped back in november was solid. But And Then You Pray For Me was trash

Conway's last few releases were not good, La Maquina was awful, Slant Face Killah was not good, those tapes were all mid to bad too, He Won't Do It was mid, etc. Gotta go back a ways to find something dope from him.

2023 & 2024 were their weakest years after a glorious run. Hoping 2025 it a return to glory. STAY WITH WHAT WORKS, for godsake.

I don’t think there’s gonna be a GxFR Boldy album, at least not with the production from the guys you mentioned. I feel like Boldy and Rome and Stove show up on WSG projects but don't do a lot of solo Griselda releases. EDIT: Kiss the Ring felt like one, I guess.

23 and 24 were definitely weak years of the big 3. I think Hall & Nash 2 made it stand out even more, because some people were like "yeah this is like their vintage shyt" and didn't realize it was from the 2010's. Hearing the difference in the hunger and delivery on that amongst the bad projects made the bad ones sound even worse.

The new Gunn project was pretty dope, though.

They need to do more of their top tier in house producers and less from producers like Harry Fraud, who's extremely hit or miss (more miss imo) and no hit boy (who's almost always miss). Those two in particularly make over produced, over polished beats that just end up sounded like generic beats from an NBA 2k loading screen.

Stay true to your base and stop thinking you're going to cross over with mainstream attempts...it's not happening.

Gunn has the best ear for beats out of all of them which is why he's always been the most consistent. He can get creative while still feeding his core fanbase.

Harry fraud is miss most times that’s how I’ve always looked at it. Hitboy same shyt besides burden of proof, even that can’t compare to the official gxfr albums from 16-22

That’s definately a letdown because I think that would be crazy. Oh well alc and boldy coming out anyway so it’s all good. Daringer from 16-22 was prime time I don’t think he’s gona make anything as great as those times anymore. All those Daringer and machine tapes were all classics with classic beats. And kiss the ring was def an official gxfr album.

I really don't like either of them on the boards. Too generic. I'd take Fraud over hitboy, personally. But I'd much rather hear them over alc, daringer, conductor williams, danny lafleur, sandu, etc.

Alc's worst beats are still solid he's the best producer in the game without a shred of doubt... I can only think of a 1 or 2 daringer beats I flat out didn't like.

Edit: Craven is dope too. Sometimes his samples are a little lazy, but he has some beautiful beats. Sometimes I wish he'd do a darker vibe, but he's in his soulful bag and I'm cool with it.

Daringers shyt hasn’t been hitting consistently for the last 2 years but I know what u mean. The reason y Gunns shyts dope is because of the reason you’ve mentioned
