Can’t get past Nu Wave, that’s prob gonna be one of my most played songs by the end of the year
I need him to work with Curren$y next, cause Bentayga sounds like something tailor made for him

Listened this morning. Boldy’s improves rapping skills really carry the project. I dunno. I’m just not a big Jay Versace fan. The beats on this are cool, and it’s an easy listen because it’s short. But I’m gonna run the drum complaint into the ground. This Versace kid almost seems like a plant. I’m not sure how he’s so on right now.
Cartier
Brick Van Exel (reminds of a Knxwledge beat)
Cardinal Sin (dope chop and fire bars)
Bentayga
Roxycontin (but I wish it was all Boldy)
So far those are the ones I dig.
Edit: I’m
at this being the 2nd time Boldy has called Tea in China by the name Tea Pot in China

I hate to seem to like a complainer. I don't only want Boldy to rhyme over Alchemist or Madlib. I'm not that much of an elitist about this.
At the same time, I'd at least like Boldy to rhyme over producers that are in the same league. This Versace dude came out of nowhere, and nothing about his sound warrants him working with a dude that just dropped an album of the year contender. I heard a "beat" by Jay Versace called Versace Church Van (link below) with Mach-Hommy and it's one of the most unlistenable songs I've ever heard.
Why is the hip-hop game about to make this dude Jay Versace happen?
I mean I guess get your paper, kid. I ain't mad at Jay per say, but he's not dope to me. At all.
Versace Church Van
At this point I wanna hear Boldy over Madlib, Alchemist, Havoc, Pete Rock, Primo, Nottz, Daringer, Jake One, 9th Wonder, Hit-Boy, Harry Fraud, Evidence, Knxledge, Nicholas Craven, Graymatter, etc.
If Boldy has to rap over drumless loops, let him rhyme over Roc Marci or Ka beats and go full experimental. This Jay Versace beats are a weird in between. He has all of the negatives of drumless loops (simplicity and lack of effort) without the positives (fore loops or weird and experimental sounds)
EDIT: Thankfully Boldy had a 7 track project dropping with Harry Fraud. That should be
EDIT 2: @iamduval makes a good point. I'm being a little salty. Boldy's voice really is the main instrument and this mixtape is still enjoyable.

Yeah, Boldy has leveled up big time. He's become one of my favorite emcees. Apparently Jay-Z has been Playing Tea in China and Boldface non-stop all year.
This shyt is smooth so far

Boldy seems like he can get on anything and go. Nu Wave, Bentayga & Roxycontin are my current standouts
My complaint is we got a 10 track album essentially full of snippets clocking in at 23 min

Right?Really?
Not surprising but that's a good look.
I listened to a podcast and Boldy ran into Jay and he said Jay was telling him about himself and thought it was funny and surreal. He said Jay was like, "Boldy James, you have a great pen."
I've been saying that Tea in China reminds me of modern Detroit version of Reasonable Doubt, and for Jay to be a fan of it, and for Boldy to even reference Reasonable Doubt bars on Bernadines and Snort is dope to me.
I have a little conspiracy theory that Jay is gonna do a project with Al (@savoutch )
