I was on the fence with this guy for a long time (since I DL'ed it about 2 months ago), but has grown on me a lot.

Legit.

Not the type of rapper I'd usually listen too, and I'm not even really sure if I like the actual rapping that much, but he's got a great voice and a good approach. Hopefully he can build a little more.

Looks like Boldy dropped a new mixtape- http://www.sharebeast.com/95vq0o4vxmy8

Haven't had a chance to peep yet, but my interest was piqued after checking this vid-

I likes them first two youtube joints in this thread.

EDIT: i like that one unclebengi posted too. dude has some promise.

Smitty · Post by **Smitty** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:32 pm

Dude can rap. This is dope.

unclebengi · Post by **unclebengi** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:48 pm

There's some serious heat on that mixtape, think I already like it better than the one from last year. There's some wack beats and collabs, but when it's good, it's really good.

david111 · Post by **david111** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:31 am

missed this thread 1st time around. one of my favorite rappers out right now. real subtle lyrical style. i hang onto his words w/out getting bored, a lot more than w/ dudes like roc marci (who i also like just not as much)

unclebengi · Post by **unclebengi** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:40 am

Funny you make the Roc comparison, I was thinking the same thing thing. I prefer Roc, but I have a feeling this new Boldy mixtape will be in my rotation for a while. He needs to make a focused album though, 26 song mixtapes w/ random guests & producers get old quick.

david111 · Post by **david111** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:53 am

i disagree, i think its nice that someone releases a project i'm not finished with after a couple days, it forces you to spend some time w/ it. there are a few dudes whose verses are sub-par but there are some other ones (like shorty k) i want to hear more from (lmao he said 'bad bowler i'm ballin' in the gutter')

and as for the production some (Brains, Cardo, JHill) is better than others, but i still prefer this approach to the production on the roc marci records

blastmaster · Post by **blastmaster** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 11:57 am

Was it Paul Wall who dropped the "ball in in the gutter like a below average bowler" line? Or mack Maine maybe....
