Boldy James - Consignment

Producer: Black Noise

Album: Consignment: Favor for A Favor

Label: Decon

Though a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks won’t get you a cushy office job, a few years in the dope game will teach you as much about entrepreneurship as an MBA from the most prestigious university. Don’t take it from me, though, take it from Boldy James, who offers a critical commentary upon one of Biggie Smalls’ Ten Crack Commandments (“Number 10: a strong word called ‘Consignment’... If you ain’t got the clientele, say ‘Hell no!’”) on the title track off his forthcoming street album. After lacing beatsmith Black Noise‘s string-laced sample work with an engagingly-flowed account of his cookup technique, the Motown representative gets down to brass tacks, asking listeners to “Do the math” along with him as he teaches his fellow “concreatures” how to maximize the profitability of their hustle. If that all sounds a little heavy, don’t worry - nothing cuts the tension of a gritty reality-rap record like a chorus borrowed from I’m a Little Teapot (as performed by a sadly uncredited female hook singer). Digging it? You’ll find more of what you’re fiending for on James’ Consignment: Favor for A Favor (Redi-Rock Mixtape) tape, set for release on February 27.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11677	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Boldy James has been making some noise for the last year, but for the longest time I was hesitant to jump on his bandwagon. Full disclosure, I am not 100% on board yet. However, this title track is a step in the right direction. You can tell very easily how married to his material James is. Follow @DJBooth

Max Pete DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1640	Rating: Max Pete's Top Rated Songs Not a fan of this one. He doesn't seem to put that much energy in it, or I can't hear it in his voice. This was nothing special to me.

djblaze DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 8021	Rating: djblaze's Top Rated Songs Boldy James reminds me a lot of MobbDeep but in a good way. I like the flow and the grimy beat to match...I'll give it a few rewinds. Follow @djblaze_djbooth
