“Boldy James had one of the best years of his career” – Billboard
“Boldy’s forte is methodically fusing multis and end rhymes to construct his capers. And it’s not just the potency of his pen but its prolificness. Since a seven-year career gap from 2013 to 2020, he’s dropped 14 albums, 2 EPs, and one mixtape. Even a serious car accident he suffered in January 2023 couldn’t stop his run.” – Rolling Stone
“Boldy’s level of evocative detail is extraordinary, constructing sprawling worlds from his memories of Detroit in a matter of seconds. Specificities bubble to the forefront of Boldy’s mind like intrusive thoughts: linking with affiliates on street whose names you could only recall if you’d had your own feet planted in them, needing to be convinced not to eliminate a rival on his way to the top, seeing visceral images of bullets going through backs and out of stomachs, and sensing a lie when he hears minute changes in vocal pitches through a phone.” – Pitchfork
“How does he do it? How is it even possible? Detroit underground rap fixture Boldy James has been a bafflingly prolific force for years. He has a way of doing things — teaming up with individual producers to record full collaborative albums and then releasing those albums the way that some people change their socks. And they’re all good!” – Stereogum
“After slowing down in 2023 to recover from a life-threatening car crash, it’s clear that he’s back to full strength” – Consequence’s 20 Best Rap Albums of 2024
“…he’s widely regarded as one of the premier street orators in the game today” – VIBE
“With each new project, Boldy continues to cement his position as rap’s most convincing (and haunting) street life storyteller.” – Okayplayer
