It feels like five years have passed since A Boogie delivered his third studio album, Artist 2.0, in February 2020. Within the last 22 months, the world has experienced a pandemic, a social justice movement unlike anything we’ve ever seen and a nearly two decade long war has sort of come to a close. Not to mention, A Boogie’s home state of New York has removed its governor, elected a new mayor of New York and mourned the loss of Pop Smoke. While he has popped up on records like “King Of My City” and “9 Bridge” with Rowdy Rebel, A Boogie has primarily stayed out of the way. As the new year looms, he is preparing to make his grand return.
A Boogie has returned with his first EP since Love Highbridge in 2018. Before A Boogie vs. Artist is split into two different sides, A Boogie and Artist. One side features him getting into his rapping bag while the other shows a more vulnerable and melodic side to his personality. For the most part, A Boogie addresses his fans alone, but he does connect with Lil’ Durk for “24 Hours.”
This EP sets the stage for his fourth and most highly-anticipated album, A Boogie vs. Artist, in 2022. Check out the prelude below.
