"Everything" [Boaz ft. Mac Miller]

Bo drops the full project tomorrow. Below is from Billboard.

Boaz has been on his independent grind since 2003. With back to back projects under his belt -- from "Intent to Deliver" (2005) to "The Transition" (2011) -- it was only a matter of time before he caught the attention of a notorious independent label as Rostrum Records.



But don't let the signed dotted line fool you. Even with the hefty co-signs from Rostrum Records labelmates Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller and more, Boaz is hustling even more than before. Tomorrow, the Pittsburgh rapper will release his free independent album, "Bases Loaded," at 1pm EST over at Datpiff and Boaz's official page. "Bases Loaded" includes guest appearances by Wiz, Mac, ScHoolboy Q, Freeway, Chevy Woods, and GLC.



In anticipation for the album, The Juice is premiering Boaz's Mac Miller-assisted song,"Everything." Check out the Team Green Music produced track below and tell us what you think."

Boaz "Bases Loaded" Listeing Party!

@Boaz412 will be in @Timebombshop this Friday, September 28th for a listening party of his debut project on Rostrum Records, "Bases Loaded.  Bo will be performing a live set and DJ Shef will be on the decks.  This is sure to be a great time and a great chance to meet Bo Bey himself!

The night kicked off with BZE and Dos Noun doing their thing- some songs and also doing some freestyles over Knowledge's beatbox. Next on the bill was the Varsity Squad which is Beedie and Jon Quest. They went in on their tracks in true Pittsburgh fashion.. HARD! Boaz was the next to hit the stage and he brought his A game for the night. Performing mostly new but also some old tracks he kept the vibe moving with DJ Shef. Next up on the bill was the 58's performance. They went so hard that they turned the lights out on them!! Of course they kept going though.. HAHA. At this point everyone was pretty drunk and ready to check out the tour bill. Freddie Gibbs went hard and even took his shirt off. Smoke DZA did his thing and even had Mac Miller show up for their track together! When Big Krit took the stage everyone was on it! He had a hell of a show and from the consensus killed it. It was a great show and we would like to thank everyone involved!

Also here is some information on Lord Finesse so you can be fully educated of his greatness!

Lord Finesse is a Hip hop artist and producer, hailing from The Bronx, New York, best known as the leader of the D.I.T.C. rap crew. In 1989, Finesse and his former partner DJ Mike Smooth signed to Wild Pitch Records, home to other popular Hip Hop artists like Gang Starr, Main Source, Chill Rob G, Percee P and O.C.. In 1990, the duo released their debut album Funky Technician. The album featured production from future star beat-makers DJ Premier, Diamond D and Showbiz. Soon after, Finesse formed the popular New York underground crew D.I.T.C., an acronym for 'Diggin In The Crates', together with Showbiz & AG and Diamond D. Future members included Fat Joe, O.C., Buckwild and the late Big L.

Finesse returned as a solo artist in late 1991 with his second effort, Return of the Funky Man. The album featured guest appearances from Percee P and AG. The album's title track peaked at #13 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. Return of the Funky Man also included a couple of songs that were produced by Finesse himself, and this would be the start of a career as a much respected hip-hop producer. In 1994 Finesse made a production appearance on The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic debut Ready to Die, on the track Suicidal Thoughts. In 1995, he produced a big portion of Big L's debut album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, including the single M.V.P. and also made an appearance on one of the album's highlight songs "Da Graveyard". He finally returned as an artist in 1996 with the now rare 12" single Check The Method and then the acclaimed album The Awakening. Finesse produced the entire album himself, and enlisted a large number of guests, including O.C., KRS-One, MC Lyte, Akinyele, Showbiz and A.G., Diamond D and Kid Capri. The underground single Actual Facts, featuring Sadat X, Grand Puba and Large Professor, was included as a hidden track on the album.

Finesse hasn't released a studio album since this effort, but has continued his production work. In 1997, he produced the title track to O.C.'s acclaimed effort Jewelz and also the track "Channel 10" off of Capone-n-Noreaga's debut The War Report. Finesse released a mixtape called Diggin' On Blue in 1999. Later in the year, he produced the track The Message on Dr. Dre's seminal 2001 album. Finesse is currently working on a Funky Technician remix project, as well as a new D.I.T.C. album. Along with these projects, he and DJ Premier are working on a posthumous Big L album.

In 1998, Finesse provided the vocal sample on the hook to The Rockafeller Skank, a hit single by British musician Fatboy Slim from his album You've Come a Long Way, Baby. The song features Finesse's repeated line "Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother".

Lord Finesse returned to the mic on Handsome Boy Modeling School's album White People in 2004. He was featured on the song entitled "Rock 'N' Roll (Could Never Hip-Hop Like This) pt. 2, collaborating with famous old-school DJ's Grand Wizard Theodore and Jazzy Jay. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park make appearances, as well as Rahzel of The Roots.
