Boldy James & RichGains — Indiana Jones (Self-released)

Boldy James loves to make single producer records. He makes them like there’s no tomorrow. His new one with RichGains feels different: it’s the same Boldy but with a new twist.

In an interview, the Detroit MC said that he prefers working with The Alchemist but is ready to work with any producer who will match his style. Given how much publicity (and streams) his records generate, Boldy is definitely a sought-for artist. Cuns, Futurewave, RealBadMan, The Alchemist, to name just a recent few, all singlehandedly produced music for him with varying degree of success. They all were short, sweet and very dark.

RichGains is lesser known but he has worked with Boldy James before back in 2016. Indiana Jones is a welcome change of pace for Boldy. Instead of short tracks, RichGains goes for longer ones, uses a lot of sung choruses by guest artists and live instruments. The whole tape feels like it was recorded back in the early 2000s but has only surfaced now. Boldy reminisces here about his old drug dealing days:

You don't want these, this ain't what you recommend Remember nights no sleep, couldn't catch a rhythm Now everything AMG kitted on the Benzes

Another leitmotif is the difference between the streets then and now. In “8 Days” he rhymes: “I was already the man before my fans ever knew me \ Hundred thou' platinum and ice, hundred bands in the Louie \ This the soundtrack to my life, no advance for the movie.”

The tape is almost an hour long, and with Boldy’s more relaxed than usual flow it reminds you a drive through a desert in the night. The beats and the artist’s voice both have a dreamy feel, lulling the listener but never letting him go to sleep. Usually, when Boldy’s rapping he spits out what he has to say quick and off he goes on to the next track. Here, he is no rush at all: “Babysitting all these bricks I think I need a nanny \ Lost a plug, went MIA I found one in Miami.” And he never sounded so good over guitar riffing.
