On their recent project Hommage, Boldy James and Antt Beatz crafted a project steeped in the sounds of Detroit, presenting gritty street stories with a cinematic sheen. The rapper-producer duo connects with fellow Detroiter Baby Money for “Off The Richter,” the latest video from the project.
Mixing high-octane Michigan percussion with insistent synths and smooth electric keys, Antt Beatz brings the night-drive mystique of Miami Vice to the Motor City, laying a perfect bed for the two rappers to talk shop. Baby Money leads off with eight crisp bars about his hustling prowess (“My first plug pushed a hunnid, we gon’ call it weight training”), while Boldy follows with some quick mathematics: “Get ’em 10 for 120, get through another 10 on the under/Sold ’em all for 16, turn that 120 to 200/Take that 10 that you got fronted and go bump it to your mans/On the strength, most n****s would’ve took that shit and ran,” he spits. Directed by Hype Domo, the video finds Boldy, Antt, and Baby Money doing business in the back of a liquor store as they prepare for the next hustle.
