From the legendary Eminem to the mainstream Big Sean to the underground Guilty Simpson, there’s a lot of talent coming out of Detroit.
The newer cats are putting in work. Last year, Detroit-native Boldy James dropped his excellent My 1st Chemistry album with famed producer The Alchemist.
Weeks after the album dropped to much critical acclaim, Boldy got a pleasant surprise: legendary rapper Nas tweeted about the rapper, showing his support.
Months later, rumors hit that Nas signed the rapper to his Mass Appeal imprint.
Those rumors (which are a little premature) were one of the things we talked about when Boldy dropped by the GlobalGrind offices the other day. During our sit-down, we also talked about the origins of his name, Boldy, Detroit rappers, and what it’s like to rap with the great Earl Sweatshirt.
Check out the video above.
