Other highlights of the week include Dave East’s third entry in his Karma series and Boldy James’ Griselda Records debut. Hip Hop and R&B fans also get a chance to hear from Tech N9ne, Coi Leray, Ronny J and Kaash Paige.

Dude Boldy’s last album with Alchemist Price of Tea in China is one of the BEST albums of the year..every song is a banger..his griselda debut isn’t quite as good as that but it is mainly the production. It still has at least 3 bangers on it
Boldy James is I’ll AF.
Boring album Boldy James, please add drums in the future. The samples are good, but without drums it has zero kick.
