Here at Stereogum, we haven’t done enough to keep up with Boldy James prodigious 2025 output. To be fair, nobody else has, either. It’s impossible. The Detroit underground rap legend is currently on the sort of run that put prime Robert Pollard to shame. Thus far in 2025, Boldy James has released six albums, all of them full-length collabs with different producers — Murder During Drug Traffic with RichGains and Permanent Ink with Royal House in January, Token Of Appreciation with Chuck Strangers in February, Hommage with Antt Beatz in March, Alphabet Highway with V Don in April, Conversational Pieces with Real Bad Man just two weeks ago. (That last one is probably my favorite.) Now, he’s got another EP arriving next week. He doesn’t stop.
