The Album + Video:
DB.Boutabag earned a reputation for his singular devotion to the hustle, but recent developments in the Sacramento rapper’s life have given him a renewed purpose for building his bankroll. Today, the 25-year-old rapper shares The Real Boutabag II, a focused and motivated effort that reflects his new perspective as a first-time father. Giving his fans a deep look into his life as a working rapper, DB peppers his punchline-filled bars with hints at how much fatherhood changed him. As he says on recent single “A Dad Talk“: “Get inside my feelings, watch me sh*t talk my ass off/On these beats, I be in that mode with my mask off.”
A sequel to his popular 2022 EP The Real Boutabag, which featured fan-favorite singles like “Out The Way,” the second volume doesn’t let the heavier subject matter stop DB from bringing the bass-boosted West Coast energy for which he is known. The rapper’s one-liners are in rare form, whether he is sneering at lazy hangers-on on the DaBoii collaboration “Drink Bleach” or getting a raucous party started on songs like the recent single “Both Ways.” Throughout, DB remains focused, ignoring neighborhood distractions and the trappings of fame to keep his eye on the biggest prize of all: financial security for his family. Also home to the recent single. “Slight Vent Pt. 3,” The Real Boutabag II is available on all platforms.
Along with The Real Boutabag II, the South Sacramento native connects with L.A. street rap hero Big Sad 1900 for the video for “Not At Home.” Layering a wistful, pitch-shifted pop sample over classic West Coast keys and knocking percussion, DB talks his smack, annihilating fakes and reveling in the hustle: “If you wanna jump in your bag, you gotta take a risk/All I gotta do is slick talk, I won’t pay for sh*t,” he spits, in his deadpan delivery. Big Sad 1900 adds his own perspective on his quietly confident verse, creating a case study in being unbothered: “I just count a hunnid, when you n****s making diss songs,” he announces. In the video, DB and Big Sad connect backstage, where they sip dirty soda and prepare to rock a West Coast crowd.
Since emerging from the South Sacramento street scene in 2020, DB.Boutabag has established himself as one of the most prolific slick talkers on either coast. With a style inspired by the greats from L.A. and The Bay, including the late Mac Dre, DB has generated tens of millions of streams across platforms, thanks to West Coast anthems like “1st Off,” “Don’t Choke,” “Cocky,” and “Fettucine.” The rapper has earned praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The FADER, and Passion of the Weiss, and has collaborated with everybody from 03 Greedo to Skilla Baby to Kamaiyah to the legendary Drakeo The Ruler on their street hit “Top Rapper.”
With The Real Boutabag II out now, DB is ready to prove he’s the man on the West Coast. Stay tuned for more.
