Boldy James Proves That His Tank His Never Empty On Harry Fraud Joint Tape “The Bricktionary”

Boldy James is building a foundation with a new collaborator brick by brick on his new album, The Bricktionary. This is his first joint venture with longtime and slept on icon, Harry Fraud. The Detroit and Brooklyn natives aren’t complete and total strangers to one another. They have brought their skillsets together on some spot records here and there. You could hear on songs like “Live from the Roxy,” that these two had some potential to go the distance. For the most part, they do so on The Bricktionary, which is Boldy’s fourth and Fraud’s third projects of 2024, respectively.

Leading up to its release, these prolific artists gave fans a couple of previews of what they could expect going forward. The grand and orchestral/trap-like “Cecil Fielder” with Tee Grizzley kicked things off back at the start of August. Then, last Friday, November 15, the duo would return with perhaps the most accessible of the bunch, “Shrink Wrap” featuring Babyface Ray. Across the tight, 12-song tracklist. Fraud brings some elements of trap, hardcore, and the grittiness of Detroit and the East Coast scene at large. The rapping performances from Boldy are extremely substantial as usual. However, this a snoozer or two, with “Harvey Grant” being maybe the biggest offender. But overall, The Bricktionary is a very cohesive sounding record with some enjoyable instrumentals and slick street talk from Boldy. Check it out with the links below.

Boldy James, Babyface Ray, & Harry Fraud Get The “Shrink Wrap”

“Shrink Wrap” brings together an unexpected Detroit duo: Boldy James and Babyface Ray, with Harry Fraud paving the way. The track flows effortlessly over Fraud’s signature smooth production, showcasing the exceptional chemistry among all three artists. Although they are from different sides of the city, both James and Ray are comfortable exchanging games. Their unity is captivating, and the two blend each other’s styles throughout the song, which is notably enjoyable.

Fans will enjoy Boldy James and Babyface Ray’s similar stories with polar opposite messages. The track’s glossy production offers rap stars a blank canvas, further enhancing their creativity. Both artists display some word-play tricks we’ve never heard before. After the creative year, Boldy James has had, it’s amazing how limitless his lyrical prowess has become. Ray’s latest collaboration comes after the release of his impressive album, The Kid That Did, in September.

The Bricktionary, arriving November 22, includes the lead single “Cecil Fielder.” With their previous collaborations receiving rave reviews, Boldy James continues to push boundaries while staying true to his idolized storytelling. For James as for many others, Harry Fraud’s unique production has created diversity, making him one of hip-hop’s most sought-after producers. This is James’s fourth album of 2024, following the critically acclaimed Across the Tracks and Plenty of Leadership.

Boldy James, Babyface Ray, Harry Fraud – “SHRINK WRAP”

Quotable Lyrics:

Breakdance a ho in the nine-eighth (Yeah), broke a nine-to-four in some rice packs (Where we at?)
Feel like Esco in the white H (Jack God), shot it to Dakota up I-8 (Skrrt, skrrt)
Neck and wrist frozen as a ice glacier, n****s know that money is primary (You know it)
Cruisin’ through the ghetto in five-eight, trigger on the pole, it’s a binary (Grrt)

Boldy James & Tee Grizzley Tag Team A Luxurious Trap Beat From Harry Fraud On “Cecil Fielder”

There is no stopping Boldy James. The Detroit, Michigan MC, one who embodies the hardcore subgenre, is back with yet another single. It comes just a few days after the YouTube exclusive release of “10 Pints”. It’s a reuniting of legends, as him and The Alchemist pick up right up where they left off a few years ago. Now, the East Coast figure is rekindling his relationship with New York producing vet Harry Fraud. Boldy James is also bringing his Detroit brethren Tee Grizzley along for the ride, as they drop “Cecil Fielder”.

Something that Harry and Boldy do not share is an album. The latter has plenty with other producers, so with “Cecil Fielder” being their song, the hope is that this a lead single. As per usual, Fraud lays down another incredible instrumental that equal parts grand and gritty. The elegant string and horn sections intertwined with the trap drums lead to one heck of an extravagant vibe. Additionally, Boldly and Tee display that thy have something to build on outside of their same-city connection. This is hands down one of the former’s best tracks of 2024.

Quotable Lyrics:

Twelfth birthday, my pops gave me a stack and that s*** smelt like crack
Before God gave me all these dreams to rap, I dreamed of scorpion stamps
Me and brodie knew if they pulled over the Chevy
It’s distribution, can’t we say we usin’, this bag we got too heavy
Fiend called the phone and got eight dollars, but he want a dime, s*** petty
I don’t turn it down, watch me lock in and stack it all the way to a Presi’, n****

9th Wonder Teases Upcoming Collab Album With Larry June

9th Wonder knows how to get the best out of rappers. He codified the sound of Little Brother in the 2000s, before going on to make classic joint albums with the likes of Talib Kweli, Skyzoo and Murs. His sample chops are less eccentric than, say, Madlib, but he displays unparalleled talent when it comes to bringing out the soulfulness of his collaborators on record. This is what makes the prospect of a 9th and Larry June tape so exciting.

9th Wonder was fielding questions from fans on May 20, when one fan noted how good a collaboration with Larry June would sound. “We need a @9thwonder and @LarryJuneTFM project,” they tweeted. 9th responded to the fan by letting him know that the process of making the project were already underway. “I’ve sent him beats,” 9th Wonder tweeted back. “About a 20 piece.” This would be an exciting change for the producer, given that he’s worked with the same few artists for most of the 2020s.

9th Wonder Recently Sent Larry June A Beats Pack

He linked up with Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper and Kamasi Washington for the acclaimed Dinner Party album in 2020. He also produced multiple projects for The Musalini and Hus KingPin. 9th linking up with Larry June would be a distinct shift, given how June’s relaxed flow contrasts with the aggression of both Musalini and Hus. June, meanwhile, has been on an excellent run of joint albums with iconic producers. He worked with Cardo, Alchemist and Harry Fraud among countless others.

As he told Complex, though, he wants to continue to change up his instrumental palate. “I’ve worked with a lot of producers that have big presences like that,” he noted. The attention to detail makes sense, given that June started off as a producer himself.

“I like to create a sound that I can always come back to,” June added. “If you listen to my catalogue, you will hear different pockets on different tapes. Because I’m bringing my world into their world because it’s a collaborative project.” The rapper likened the process to cooking. “It’s just one rapper, one producer, so it’s like we’re creating a pasta.” Hopefully we will get the 9th Wonder and Larry June pasta soon.

Listen To “Live From The Roxy” By Ransom, Harry Fraud, & Boldy James

Ransom’s “Live from the Roxy,” is a drumless and bassless cut that is all about slick rhymes. It has this grand opus feeling to it with the soulful vocal bits in the background that give it a classical vibe. Which makes considering the title being named after a famous longstanding nightclub called Roxy Theater in Hollywood. It has been open since the early 1970’s and it feels like that is when this Fraud instrumental was made. Check out the Ransom-led track above.

I don’t sleep often, (Nah) the cousin of death is rest in a cheap coffin
Heard through the wire that we keep warrin’ (Yeah)
