Damon Campbell (@MuziksMyLife) interviews Boldy James at Motivation in Ann Arbor, for what could easily be considered one of his most personal interviews to date. 

During the candid conversation, the gritty Detroit rapper delves into his troubled past and discusses, in great detail, the tragedies he's encountered, his musical roots, and various run-in's with the law.

Today, I decided to release the D/L link for my new record "Chirps" produced by Big Duke (@bigdukeslab). 

S/O to Shade 45, Hot 107.5 (Detroit) and FM98 (Detroit) for jumping on this record last week!!! 

FYI, very soon you guys can also expect me to announce the title and release date for my next mixtape, that will be dropping on Live Mixtapes!!! 

The album "M.1.C.S." produced by Alchemist will be released in September 2013 so be sure to stay tuned for more details!!!

GRAND QUARTERS EP - MARCH 5

Boldy James, the blue-collar Detroit rapper who made noise last year with his Consignment, Favor For A Favor: The Redi-Rock Mixtape and high-profile collaborations with The Alchemist and The Cool Kids, announces his commercial debut with the Grand Quarters EP, due March 5th on Decon. The EP, a lead-in to an Alchemist-produced LP later this year,  is titled after a once bustling and illustrious Detroit night spot that fell into disrepair, a beacon of blight who’s reference is employed as a reminder of neglected majesty and and the work ethic it takes to overcome at any cost. Perched above a crumbling city documenting the daily happenings, James personifies that ambition.

With the start of the CMJ Music Festival in NYC this week, CMJ recently caught up with Boldy via phone to talk about his latest project—an Alchemist-produced Decon Records album—what parenthood means to him, and why he doesn’t glamorize street life.
