Another great verse from Boldy, this time it's a feature for Deniro Farrar. I've scene Deniro Farrar's name around, but I've never really gotten familiar. Well he kills this track as well and now I'm interested...where should I start with Farrar's music?

Dude is one of the few new d-boy rappers who I like so far. but I've heard his ALC shit, Consignment, Go Fish, Nautica, Miss jones and JIMBO. he reminds me of a less wack version of a west side chi rapper I worked with a while back.

Those joints Employee posted have me on pause. i guess evetybody puts out some trash.

I still need to check this out, his joint on Al's "Russian Roulette" was pretty damn hard. Looking forward to this.

Al really feels the need to throw Earl, Domo and Bronson on every damn project he puts out.

This is so fuckin' great. I was beginning to lose a little faith in Boldy, but working with Alchemist always helps. Boldy really steps his game up though, his voice is somewhat similar to P's, but Boldy has a lot more going on that P at this point...in rhyme scheme, flow, and content. I liked the P/Al album because of the beats, but after one listen I like this album quite a bit better. Alchemist is a true producer, he really knows how to get the most out of the artists he works with.

also, Vince Staples>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Clearly, Madlib is the only one I know that could give him comp but his output isn't high enough. But come February when Cocaine Pinata drops, heads will be buzzin for Madlib again.

agreed. madlib x gibbs is a great combo. i think the collab will do a lot for both, but more for gibbs obviously

Same. Really dug Trapper's Alley and, to a lesser extent, Consignment so I'm interested to see what working with Alc will do for him.

i mean im surprised there hasn't been more activity in this thread since the album dropped. i figured a lot more people would check it out due to alchemist being attached (and seeing as how alc is leading the favorite producer poll right now)

the thing about :phila: , if the topic isn't contentious and not asking for a specific answer and isn't getting flamed or trolled and just simply has a good music upload, it often doesn't get many replies. people just dl or click the link or whatever and keep moving
