Boldy James & The Alchemist

The Price of Tea in China

If you're in love with boom bap you're going to love this album, because it's a pretty solid project but objectively I think that if you know the old works of The Alchemist and Boldy James (even if there are few other choices for the rapper) you'll see that they're not up to what they proved before.

This could've been his new Versace Tape if it was longer. The ... read more
