Versus: Boldy James in Lisbon - May 16th - Village Underground.
Do we have the right to have favorites?!
(The question is rhetorical.) Boldy James is #1 at what he does.
It is known that there are genres, sub-genres, trends, aesthetics, etc… But in the cosmos where BJ lives, there is no one better than him.
Born in Detroit, signed to Griselda and with more than 20 projects edited, there is no one as bold as James.
His career didn’t start in 2020, but it’s true that from this year onwards, he’s going all in.
“The Price of Tea in China”, “Bo Jackson”, “Super Tecmo Bo” are classic albums. It is also worth bearing in mind that this partnership with Alchemist proved to be game changing not only for Boldy James, but also for ALC.
Logically, Nicholas Craven, RichGains, Cuns, ChanHays, Harry Fraud, Conductor Williams or Chuck Strangers, also did not hesitate to put themselves at BJ's disposal.
It's fair to say that in some ways, Boldy James seems to have reversed the dynamic of the producer being the plug for the formula. He's running his own sound.
The timbre, the cadence, the pen game with a nasty wordplay… all of this is highlighted with the right choice in the collaborations he makes and the beats he devours.
“He’s catchin’ bodies like a flying trapeze act” May 16th is the date that marks his debut in Portugal for a concert included in his 2025 EU/UK tour and which needs no introduction.
In the last 3 months, Boldy James has edited 3 projects.
