Fear of God (feat. Conway the Machine)

A numerotic spoken-word invocation moving from the unseen (33) into the visible (11).
A track about hearing, seeing, believing, and receiving — the four beats of creation.
A meditation on the pathway from silence to sound, from potential to realization, from imagination to embodiment.

i don’t know why she mad at me 
i don’t really give a fuck about saturday’s
you could be who you wanna be  
it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t bother me
she’s probably getting slutted out almost every week 
long live wifi, i didn’t realize the last time we talked would be the last time we’d ever speak 
last night i got too high i know it’s hard to believe 

i thought my tolerance was by my side but really it’s not 
and my heart’s surrounded by flys it’s gonna rot 
we’re gonna rot 
let’s do it together
just me and you 
we won’t last forever 
but you knew, you already knew
i’m a hypocrite, i always bend my rules 
i’m a junkie too, wish i could find my rue 
i friends with all the monsters that hide in my room
quick! hide in my closet my mom’s coming home 

you’re so bad for me, i wonder why 
you tell me it’s okay when i’m not right 
we keep doing cocaine
line for line 
it’s not an addiction i only do it at night!

i don’t know why she mad at me 
i don’t really give a fuck about saturday’s
you could be who you wanna be  
it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t bother me
she’s probably getting slutted out almost every week 
long live wifi, i didn’t realize the last time we talked would be the last time we’d ever speak

lets all rot

Preferring a literate style over simple hooks or radio-friendly fodder, Detroit rapper Boldy James delivers sharply focused rhymes that describe drug deals in acute detail. Some of his best-received work, including 2013's My 1st Chemistry Set and 2020's The Price of Tea in China, has been produced by the Alchemist, whose minimalist production befits Boldy's cold, unflinching narratives. 2020's Manger on McNichols, a jazzy collaboration with Sterling Toles, represented a new height in his artistry. He followed it with the Griselda-issued The Versace Tape and further Alchemist productions such as 2021's Super Tecmo Bo. A prolific 2022 included efforts with Nicholas Craven (Fair Exchange No Robbery) and Cuns (Be That as It May). The Conductor Williams-produced Across the Tracks appeared in 2024, followed by The Bricktionary and 2025's Permanent Ink.

Born in Atlanta but raised in Detroit, where his parents were originally from, James Clay Jones III established Boldy James as his stage name in tribute to his friend Boldy, who was murdered. The cousin of rapper/producer and Cool Kids member Chuck Inglish, Boldy made appearances on Cool Kids mixtapes before releasing his first tape, Trapper's Alley: Pros and Cons, in 2011. Consignment: Favor for a Favor, The Redi-Rock Mixtape followed in 2012, and the EP Grand Quarters preceded My 1st Chemistry Set, Boldy's Alchemist-produced studio debut, issued by Decon in 2013.

Boldy became one of the first signees to Nas' Mass Appeal Records in 2014. His output for the label included the 2015 mixtape Trapper's Alley 2: Risk vs. Reward, 2017 EP The Art of Rock Climbing, and 2017 mixtape House of Blues. He went independent with 2018's Live at the Roxy (Tabs & Caps), then linked back up with the Alchemist for 2019's Boldface EP and 2020's full-length The Price of Tea in China. Soon after the album was released, Buffalo-based Griselda Records announced that they had signed Boldy. Following Manger on McNichols, a jazzy and long-gestating LP made with producer Sterling Toles, Boldy released his Griselda debut, The Versace Tape. He capped off an especially prolific period with Real Bad Boldy, his fourth full-length project of 2020, self-issued by album collaborator Real Bad Man. 

Two albums with the Alchemist, Bo Jackson and Super Tecmo Bo, were released in 2021. Numerous Boldy albums appeared in 2022: Killing Nothing, a second effort with Real Bad Man, appeared in May, followed in September by Fair Exchange No Robbery, with Nicholas Craven. Mr. Ten08, with Futurewave, was released in November, and the year closed with a collaboration with Cuns titled Be That as It May. In 2023, Boldy released Indiana Jones with RichGains, followed by the EP Prisoner of Circumstance with ChanHays. Penalty of Leadership, another collaboration with Craven, appeared in early 2024. Also that January, he worked with Conductor Williams, producing the full-length Across the Tracks. He returned in November with The Bricktionary, and he kicked off 2025 with Permanent Ink, albums that underlined his knack for marrying moody grooves with indelible lyrical portraits of urban life. ~ Paul Simpson & David Jeffries, Rovi
