Following 2015's Trapper's Alley 2, Boldy James shared The Art of Rock Climbing, an EP detailing his street experiences and dedication to the Motor City. Eager to break his silence in 2017, the project is Boldy James' most personal body of work yet. A collaborative EP with DJ Butter, The Art of Rock Climbing is a nod to the trials and tribulations Boldy James went through during his quiet period away from music. 

"The Art of Rock Climbing is about a few different things. The artwork has the four founding fathers of Detroit hip-hop as the heads of Mount Rushmore with me and DJ Butter scaling them. The art can be interpreted as showing how getting out of Detroit is akin to scaling a fucking mountain - don’t too many people make it out: they die, they go to jail. Another interpretation is a nod to my former rock slinging days. Another interpretation is that it’s about chasing dead presidents - that’s what we all after. That’s what we all about in the ghetto: it’s all about the money," Boldy James explains. “Halfway through making The Art of Rock Climbing, I went away for a while. I was on the run for a year and got caught up for 'fleeing and eluding' for a weed violation I got in the suburbs and then everything got caught up to me, I had to deal with a bunch of warrants, probation violations and took a plea but still had to pay fines and be gone for a few months. Once I got out, DJ Butter and I finished it up and here it is."

Boldy James paired the EP release with "Skantless," wherein a Lego Detroit depicts a day in the rapper's life as characters run drug deals and a heist from Seven Mile to Ford Field in downtown. "Skantless" has the Nas-cosigned, Mass Appeal Records signee getting down to business as he spits his flow over a funky beat from DJ Butter. Following "Heavy In the Game," his first visual of the year off The Art of Rock Climbing, Boldy James wants the world to know that he's here to stay. The Art of Rock Climbing is available now via Mass Appeal Records.
