Boldy James

Boldy James is an American rapper from Detroit, Michigan, recognized for his deadpan, laid-back delivery and vivid, unflinching narratives of street life. Born James Clay Jones III, he gained initial traction with his 2013 debut album, 'My 1st Chemistry Set', which was entirely produced by *The Alchemist*. After a period of sporadic releases, his career surged in 2020 with a prolific run of critically acclaimed projects, including 'The Price of Tea in China' and the jazz-infused 'Manger on McNichols'. That same year, he officially signed with *Westside Gunn*'s #Griselda Records#, cementing his place in the influential underground hip-hop collective.
