The hard, weathered Detroit underground rap veteran Boldy James has made some of the best records, in any genre, of the past few years, and he never stops working. One of the four studio albums that Boldy released in 2020 was Real Bad Man, a full-length team up with the LA collective Real Bad Man, which is somehow both a clothing label and a rap-production entity. That sounds sketchy as hell, but the album fit right into Boldy’s grizzled boom-bap sound. Today, Boldy and Real Bad Man have teamed up to release another album.
