Concept

After one listen to Boldy James’ hyperfocused head-tilt flow, it’s evident that this man does not stop. Bringing a tone of introverted detachment and a near-journalistic acuity to the granular details of drug dealing/the consequences thereof, Boldy’s cache of Detroit street narratives truly feels endless. More evidence he does not stop: After releasing six albums (all one-on-one collaborations with different producers), Boldy suffered broken vertebrae in a car accident back in January – hence the title of this tour, Back Outside, as well as, hilariously, the title of his next, the Six Million Dollar Man Tour. – Julian Towers
