Boldy James is always willing to drop a new album at the drop of a hat. One of the best lyricists from the South, he is bringing it once again on his 18th overall project. The 41-year-old rapper likes to work with a partner in crime. This time, the person that is joining him on his gritty journey is Nicholas Craven.
The Canadian producer is no stranger to Boldy, though. These two ultra-talented and detail-oriented undergrounders first worked on a tape back in late September 2022. Together, they put the concise Fair Exchange No Robbery. So, it is nice to see them rekindle their work relationship on Penalty of Leadership.
