Fair take. Content wise I don’t see a huge difference honestly. Both are goin rappers. I do agree Conway is far and away the better emcee. Conway is more braggadocios, and I think Boldy is really dope at painting (depressing) pictures though.

This is pretty much how I feel about Boldy.

His energy is way too low for ALC production, always sounds like he's barely awake. But that's my opinion. I copped the album for the beats. And I'm not ashamed to admit that, lol.

Carruth still might be my favorite song to come out this year

Clairborne Kick got me revisiting this and it's even better on the 2nd listen

 

[mozichrome]

It’s definitely an incredible intro.

this album is aging well already.

Nah, Boldy stepped up his game something serious from the 1st album

Still monotone but the flow and the bars have improved tenfold

No word yet. Boldface EP vinyl dropped though. So I assume this will.

Thought this shyt was boring when it first came out but I'm enjoyin it a lot more now. Al's production is super stripped down and atmospheric. He really created a mood on this record.

That miminalist sound fits Boldy's style perfectly too. I think he get's a little lost over more bombastic beats. But this is perfect for him.

Im gonna say it...

i think it night be a underground classic

Boldys caught fire off this and the Griselda signing has caught peoples attention

Alchemist production is top notch

Give it time and if Boldy and Griselda keep growing...can see it happening

Random point but to me TPOTIC is every bit as good as Pinata/Bandana...both viewed as 5 mics heavily
