Slow Roll

Have you ever watched a music video completely shot in a car wash? Well, you have now. 

Preferring a literate style over hooks or radio-friendly fodder, Detroit rapper Boldy James came up in 2013 thanks to a series of successful mixtapes plus his work with producer The Alchemist. The release of Boldy James' debut album 'The Price Of Tea In China' bought the two together once again giving us arguably his best project to date. It is ironic that the video for ‘Slow Roll’, shows Boldy counting money whilst his Benz strolls through the car wash, elegantly lit up with neon lights. The simple, yet effective video allows the viewer to digest the delivery Boldy is giving us. "Slidin' with Glocks in the armrest / Got some get-back, we ain't duckin' no wreck / Put that chopper to a nigga lips like some fuckin' Carmex."
