Boogie is inventive when it comes to his voice. This reminds me something Wale would’ve done during the Album About Nothing days. Nice little groove paired with an adequate flow. He’s no Luther Vandross, but he found his tone and texture. “ Mixing liquor in my Starbucks” sounds like he’s at war with his stomach as well as his reflection. Second verse, he's dropping bombs that are exploding within his personal, internal war. Boogie is such a human rapper, meaning there’s no mask or persona created to appear larger-than-life. “ I’m tired of working at myself I wanna be perfect already,” now that’s a bar I felt. The sound of what I believe are guitar strings underneath Boogie’s rambling banter.
Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish. In usual 1-Listen fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping. If Everythings for Sale exceeds what Boogie has accomplished in the past, this major-label introduction could explode Compton’s Shady rap son to the next level. Titled Everythings for Sale, the long-awaited album has received growing anticipation over the past few months.Īt present, the 29-year-old now-veteran is in a good position to enter the spotlight. The tools of a career artist were apparent, but how those tools would be used and the toolbox they’d be placed in could be the difference between world-renowned and "Where are they now?"įour years ago, signing with Shady Records and having Eminem featured on his major-label debut album likely wasn’t considered on Boogie's map of potential destinations. With Boogie, following the release of “Oh My” and his equally-strong 2015 project The Reach, what was next wasn't easily recognizable.
Often, when a promising new artist emerges, it isn't difficult to imagine the various paths their career may take.
