West ░░ coast funk, Midwest swing, southern bounce, and east coast grit all ░░ converge in the west Pennsylvania city. Likewise, Steel City native son, ░░ Boaz draws on a nationwide well of inspiration for his debut album, The ░░ Audio Biography. Mirroring his hometownÆs diverse tastes, Boaz lets ░░ trunk-rattling basslines, synthesized grind anthems, and stomping beats ░░ gel with intimidating verses. ItÆs the classic trap of trying to offer ░░ something for everyone, but with one exception: it actually sounds good. ░░ Audio Biography is an organic mix of styles anchored by a solid voice and ░░ direction. This isnÆt a hackneyed attempt at regional appeal; itÆs a ░░ focused attempt to build a sound fit for Boazæs style and story. ░░ ░░ Boaz always keeps his pulse at cool, sounding just as comfortable on the ░░ southern-friendly radio tunes and New York-flavored album cuts. An airy ░░ electronic beat backs his turn as a suave drug dealer on songs like ôWell ░░ Connectedö and ôH-U-S-T-L-E-R.ö And while heÆs more threatening at times, ░░ Boaz is equally heavy-on-bravado trading barbs with Sheek Louch for ░░ ôLarimer to Yonkers.ö The crashing beat gets a hard-nosed verse from ░░ Sheek while Boaz stays hood and says, ôI ainÆt waiting for royalties to ░░ pay for my lawyer fees / I break down a couple things and sell them in ░░ quarter keys / æCause the block is just open season / The feds taking ░░ pictures of us, so we cheesin.ö ░░ ░░ Grounded in hood chronicles, the lyrical content of Audio Biography is ░░ not as diverse as its production. Based on the general theme of most ░░ songs, Boazæs bio can be condensed to cold nights peddling drugs and the ░░ warmth that being a snow salesman provides. ItÆs a story that has been ░░ told several times before by more captivating artists, but a small set of ░░ talented producers provide a distinct angle for this retelling. ░░ Production duo SoulStarZmuseeQ supply everything from high-pitched, ░░ space-age synths (ôGettinÆ Mineö) to blaxploitation funk (ôThe Dopemanö). ░░ King James II then adds to the mix by delivering a soul-inspired beat for ░░ the reflective ôPromised Land.ö That musical range is a crucial asset, ░░ providing the strong match necessary to make this well-traveled path seem ░░ new. ░░ ░░ Pittsburgh created Boaz, and he attempts to return the favor by crafting ░░ a sound representative of his hometown. But the Steel City rapper is ░░ still defining himself as a man on Audio Biography. After all, the tragic ░░ tale of a hustler is to struggle, prosper, and walk away or ultimately ░░ fail. Boaz is in the prosper phase and showing signs of his next move on ░░ ôPromised Landö when he raps, ôIÆm still religious / And instead of ░░ tearing down the ghetto block, I should be building bridges.ö ░░ ░░ Audio Biography is thus an early, unfinished memoir. ThereÆs still plenty ░░ of time for Boaz to determine which ending of the hustlerÆs script heÆll ░░ follow. If he continues penning strong lines and tapping into talented ░░ production resources, failure û at least from a musical standpoint û ░░ seems highly unlikely. ░░ ░░ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bhd73jv5ycuowm4ughbvp5y5abm ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| learned from vets |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| and they |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| ain't pet doctors |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
