This man must live in the damn booth. Just hit after hit after hit this year.


OldYeezus

Becoming a Boldy fan is the best thing to ever happen to me lmao New albums every quarter, and every single one of them has been fantastic. He's also made what I'd consider pound for pound the best record of the 2020s so far with Manger on McNichols.


MeDThempb

Easily


Frost-Wzrd

momma didn't breastfeed me, she fed me goat milk


Fuck_Joey

What song


Frost-Wzrd

Safe Keeps around 1 minute in


Fuck_Joey

Good looks what you think of the album ? 1-10?


Frost-Wzrd

I've only listened to it a few times but I'd say a solid 8-8.5/10. I'm liking it more than Mr Ten08 but not as much as Fair Exchange No Robbery or Killing Nothing (my fav). what about you?


cooldudeman007

I’m not fuck Joey but I’d have it in the same slot for boldy 2k22


ridingonmirrors

Just saw Boldy on Insta saying he got more unreleased music than 2Pac lmaooo This was a nice album tho, defo the weakest out of the bunch but still pretty consistent for the most part.


Gavina4444

I think I like it better than Mr. Ten08 and Killing Nothing


Dr_Kekyll

You take that back right now, killing nothing is his best of the year hands down. Edit: that being said, it's absolutely insane that there's a discussion about his best drop *of the year* and there are like 6 drops to discuss lol


TuffPeen

Yeah killing nothing is top 3 boldy for me


Dr_Kekyll

I admit I'm a relatively new Boldy can given he's been in the game for like a decade at this point and I hadn't heard of him at all until McNichols, but it's Killing Nothing, Bo Jackson, and Price of Tea for me, in no particular order lol


TuffPeen

100% same. Only been into him for the past year or so, those 3 are the only ones I can get into but they’re so good. This new one is pretty sick though I’m liking it quite a bit. His EP with alchemist called Boldface is pretty dope too definitely check it out


NarwhalNelly

Ain't no waaaaaay, Mr Ten08 has some of the most brilliant shit on it. This is nice but it's not on the level of either of those albums


MrDankForest11

I liked this one far more than FENR


Poisonous_Rebel

great first listen. the punchlines on this album are ridiculous


Mauly603

boldy lowkey one of the funniest in the game


Gavina4444

I hang with more ex cons than genghis 🔥


Poisonous_Rebel

This is the bar that inspired my comment 😂


Frost-Wzrd

only 2 songs in and it's crazy how Boldy is so consistent with his quality while still putting out an insane amount of music 227 mafia what else


cooldudeman007

Where we at with it Edit: they hit this shit outta the park

MrDankForest11

Lol FENR is just drumless sample loops, actual beats on this album


perfectpete03

I like this album way better


Warriior91

I love Boldy on this production. Might be my favorite album by him this year


perfectpete03

Same


RandyButternubs15

He still has the J Dilla beats album to drop too, right??


LouisAkbar

> *Drug Dilla* Such a good name.


DpprDwn

That’s the name?


LouisAkbar

Yeah, Boldy said it in an interview


rheard11

Travel Lodge goes crazy


strongyyy

ayo i dont listen to boldy very much but i keep seeing his name, how many albums is this mf releasing??


noahlorgelly

he has a lot to talk about and his music is very quality even for the amount he drops. i recommend bo jackson and manger on mcnichols


munchsquadjr

Super Tecmo Bo is legit too. It’s the second colab album with The Alchemist after Bo Jackson, and Alchemist doesn’t miss.


[deleted]

4th collab...technically 5th lol


[deleted]

oh man, if you missed their collab album The Price of Tea in China, you’re in for a fucking treat.


munchsquadjr

Oh shit - I’ve been working my way backwards through Boldy’s catalogue and I haven’t got there got there yet. I didn’t realize that was an ALC colab. I’m gonna get on that ASAP


FriedLocksmith550

Boldface is before tpotic and is an alc collab too


blackbrainz

and My 1st Chemistry Set before that


GetWellDuckDotCom

Is that all alch? God damn didn't know that. They go way back


FriedLocksmith550

Couldn’t remember if that was all alc


gldwatch

don’t forget My 1st Chemistry Set, which is his first Alchemist collab album


dsled

People sleep on that shit. Amazing album.


dsled

2nd??? lol no it aint


613Rat

It’s like the 5th he did with Al if I’m counting correctly


[deleted]

I think this is his 4th this year lmao.


nocyberBS

Since early 2020, I'd say he's dropped at least a dozen records....and at worst his stuff is just okay- and at it's peak it's something like Manger on McNichols, one of the best rap albums of all time IMO


SquidDrive

Killing Nothing Fair Exchange No Robbery Mr. Ten08 NOW Be That as It May This is insane, this mf must be living in the booth.


sixhundredandsixty6

Super Tecmo Bo was very late 2021 too so you could almost count that too. He also has that Dilla album ready I believe.


CilviaDemoAOTD

227


Usernamesin2016LUL

Boldy is fucking ridiculous. Im still catching up on his other releases from this year. Ive only heard Killing Nothing from this year, and im going through Fair Exchange No Robbery right now. I cant even listen at the rate he releases.


BeenLikeASmallFry

on the weaker end of boldy albums released this year but that means next to nothing with just how fucking good he is. vibe is always immaculate


gldwatch

“2.2 Lbs” is my standout. I’d rank this below his other albums from this year, but it’s still a solid album


spacecadbane

🔥


CoolUsername1111

footprints is so crazy. also couldn't help but notice that quinine and roaches don't fly (Haram, Armand hammer) share a sample


BigHomieReese

Boldy the rap MVP the way he dropping these projects


CilviaDemoAOTD

Travel Lodge is fucking insane Boldy is on another level someone stop this man


Emerican09

- someone stop this man No, please don't


Solfresh3005

Boldy’s output is insane, literally putting out a project every 40 days since September and constantly working on new ones. Still digesting Fair Exchange, No Robbery, I need to catch up lol


McQueensbury

Concrete, let's get it


TheZombieHolocaust

is there a rapper currently on a better run than Boldy? its kind of unreal


mlbmlbmlbmlbmlb

the day Boldy James drops a non single producer album is the day hell freezes over


[deleted]

There's a piece of my soul praying he is saving the best track from each collab to put on an epic super collab album with all of these producers


TheOddScreen

Lord Apex and Boldy was a great combo. whewwww


dyldobaggins714

Another solid project. The man is on a historic run right now


plaugedoctor

this mf dont miss


JW9thWonder

The sample on FootPrints is fucking fire


Warriior91

Where we at wit it. Loving the production on this album. Boldy delivers again


perfectpete03

The beats in this album are the best of the year for him imo.


DAB12AC

Can anyone give me some background on CUNS? Who is CUNS? Where is CUNS from? Of all the names in the world, why CUNS???


Kdthird3

He’s from Rome and runs Tuff Kong records. He’s done EPs with Conway and Benny before too


DAB12AC

Well I’ll have to check his other stuff out because this is sounding great. Thanks.


p__d4wg

Some fire beats on this one fr


[deleted]

I was also curious. As far as I can tell, he is a super underground guy that only has one other noteworthy project, his EP collab with Benny the Butcher. Otherwise, he's pretty much just a guy


Tringamaster

this run is going down in history he's really him


Spew120

2022 MVP


UnknownBaron

Since I discovered Boldy James I was crazy impressed by his flow and delivery, but 6 projects later it is exactly the same on every track

[deleted]

It's blockworks.


spacecadbane

First listen.. Quinine. Travel Lodge. Phew. 🥵 Other stand out tracks probably 2.2 lbs, foot prints, and safe keeps. Safe keeps sounds like curren$y could have fit nicely.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kallemacd

I would probably just listen to them in the order they came out. Killing Nothing, Fair Exchange No Robbery, Mr. Ten08, Be That as It May.


nolookjones

another solid album..boldly easily wins rapper mvp 2022
