Soulful rap will likely never go out of style due to its ability to capture the unmatched feeling of nostalgia. The majority of today’s artists don't fully understand that concept, but Atlanta-rising rapper, Booney has strategically used his love for hip-hop to his advantage to break into the mainstream. Raised on artists like Jay Z and J Cole, Booney provides listeners with his Atlantified version of conscious rap.
With every song from Booney, there's always a story being told. And when I say story, I don't mean your typical “Point-A to Point-B” type story. Similar to a diary, he meticulously pours his profound emotions regarding the way of life. Booney’s music touches on all aspects of life from the disasters, ups & downs, and the gains & losses.
“Music is universal and one of the best forms of communication. I am inspired by so many great quotes, so I always intend to leave great quotes for the listener.” - Booney on how he crafts his music.
His most recent release, “85 South” truly finds the Atlanta lyricist in his most volatile state. This track feels as if you personified the raw emotions of anger and aggression, put them in a studio, and forced them to make a song. “85 South” represents the anger/rage to where I am going & to get past anyone in my way,” Booney said. Always continuing to elevate his artistry, a major breakout record is on the horizon for Booney in the next quarter.
