The Boldy James Interview

Don't be fooled by his "dry" demeanor, Boldy James is not to be played with! From starting in the game with cousin Chuck Inglish (Cool Kids) to now working with Alchemist, Boldy's artistry stays intact as you can hear on 'The Price Of Tea In China'.

Extremely Dope interview. Well done Adam.

[@SPRINgERBELL]

this is the realest interview on Boldy. the realest no jumper interview yet. He's the truth. lived a crazy life, and tells it how it is. Throw in Al as big bro, and they brothers (friends beyond blood) steering Boldy thru the crazy world Al already knows how to move through like a Cold War Spy, Boldy got everything now and is now at the right age fully to fully understand this real life shit -love the way the real rappers are getting their spotlight at the right time in life. a 20 year old just hasn’t had the time to fully comprehend the life they are currently living. 10 plus years will change a boy to a man. This goes to all the "new" names finally getting their due justice, REAL street dudes with so may great life stories and lessons for all the little dudes tryin to do their thing. these dudes have been grinding great job of becoming a professional Interviewer. Interview skills seem to better and better. i know my advice don't mean a DAMn thing but i felt compelled to write this....THIs may be my 2nd comment ever on a youtube video, EVER, but i felt needed to just give my penny n a half

[@MICjordanTPR]

Man! Salute from Sacramento for the C-Bo shoutout! Boldy is one of my favorite rappers, full stop. Just a master craftsman

[@LoyaltySpoilsMe]

Dis my favorite artist from now till. And bruh official. And there's a statue of limitations, I read between the lines forever. He gonna be the one I'm sure. I never met dude but he is going to leave a mark to be remembered. I want 20 more years of Boldy James story, we lived similar lives. We bleed thru similar veins, I just need bro to win.
