Boldy James – Permanent Ink [Album Stream]
Detroit rapper Boldy James kicks off his 2025 with a new album, titled “Permanent Ink”.
Boldy, typically known for his menacing presence and tough image, softens his approach somewhat on his new project. While the album still features some street-oriented tracks, it also explores more introspective and vulnerable themes. The lead single, “Single File Line”, hinted at this softer side, suggesting a more accessible album overall. This proves to be the case, which is generally positive. However, this shift in style might alienate some of his longtime, hardcore fans.
The 13-track drop is entirely produced by Roger Goodman (Royal House Recording) and can be heard below. Keep scrolling for the visual to the LP’s title track.
