Boldy James - Concrete Connie
Artist: Boldy James
Producer: Brains
Album: Pro's & Con's: Trappers Alley (Double LP)
Label: Decon
Plenty of rappers are quick to declare their loyalty to the block, and some even have a certain love for the streets that made them who they are. To my knowledge, however, Booth newcomer Boldy James is the first to express his affection by giving the pavement a pet name. Previously glimpsed on The Cool Kids’ ‘09 single Tires, the Detroit native shares a tender moment with his “Concrete Connie” on a new single. Brains delivers a instrumental that (contrary to his name) comes straight for the heart, pairing mellow keyboards with fluttering string flourishes as the emcee addresses the girl he runs to whenever things get rough with his (human) old lady. While you’d think a romantic affair with a blend of cement, fly ash, aggregate, water and chemical admixtures would be unfulfilling, the feeling turns out to be mutual; stepping into the title role, femcee Tenille reciprocates James’ affection: “Baby I won’t leave you / my eyes light up every time I see you…” Has this unconventional love story made a Boldy James fan of you? More freshness awaits on the emcee’s Trappers Alley double-LP, composed of Pros (out now) and Cons (fall 2011).

Boldy caught my ear a few weeks ago and he has been on my radar ever since. His storytelling ability is clearly his greatest asset as an emcee. When he speaks you listen (imagine that, haha).

I'm not really feeling Boldy's voice. I feel like he's to monotonous and doesn't seem to have a lot of energy. I feel like his voice would be better suited on a different type of beat. The quality production and Tenille's smooth voice is strong enough to carry the track.
