Boldy James’ 2011 mixtape Trapper’s Alley: Pro’s and Con’s appears to have been slept on by most of the hip-hop blogerati, which is perplexing if you, you know, listen to the thing: hard-bitten tales of ‘ye slinging - delivered in a neo-Prodigy croak - over a staggeringly good collection of heady, soul-drenched beats.
I’ll admit that I was one of said sleepers, but the infectiousness of cuts like “I Sold Dope All My Life” - plus some totally appropriate clips from The Wire - made me a convert.
Boldy dropped his latest, Consignment - Favor for a Favor, The Redi-Rock Mixtape, this morning. Pick it up here.
