Boldy James ft. Logic & Aaron Williams - Take Whats Ours

If you don't know Boldy James, you get what you need to know from the introduction to 'Take What's Ours' which features Ricky Ross (the real Rick Ross) talking about modern rappers claiming to sell drugs or be a gang member, notably Wayne and Rick Ross. Talking about 'Freeway' Rick Ross (the drug dealer) and the rapper known as Rick Ross can get confusing and it raises an interesting point of character-theft as the drug dealing Ricky Ross has sued Rick Ross over basically profitting off of his life. Of course, Rick Ross' rise to rap fame occurred partially while the actual Rick Ross was in jail, which is something the bombastic music of the rapper Rick Ross never mentions.

And this is where Boldy James comes in. If you're looking for something like 'B.M.F.' or 'Hustlin', look elsewhere as most of his stuff isn't very bombastic, but more ominous (see; 'I Sold Dope All My Life'). Freeway Ricky Ross is seen throughout the video, and while every rap fan can debate the extent of authenticity of every story told through rap and a large part of the genres magic comes from its ability to blend fiction with reality, I tend to believe Boldy James more than most others.

Look out for Boldy James' next project "Consignment: Favor for a Favor" coming soon.
