Boldy James & Nicholas Craven – No Blemishes [Audio]
Boldy James and Nicholas Craven return with scar stories over a silk loop.
Boldy and Craven slide back in with a tight, under-3-minute dose of precision: dusty drums, a gleaming ’70s-disco-tinged chop, and Boldy talking clear about survival and discipline. It reads like a status report after the storm—measured, unsentimental, razor-clean.
Craven’s sample work gives Boldy air to operate; the hook never overreaches, and the verses carry the weight—including a nod to his 2023 car accident (“the sound of the impact, when I crashed my sled”). It’s familiar chemistry, still evolving: Stoic detail, unhurried pocket, zero wasted bars.
Taken from their highly anticipated new joint album, “Criminally Attached”, which arrives November 14.
No theatrics—just Boldy’s steady burn over Craven’s butter-smooth grit. “No Blemishes” does what great openers do: set tone, raise stakes, and make the album date feel closer.
