“I’m one of those kids who, kinda came out the womb and gravitated towards music.”  There are numerous rappers in the game – some highly skilled and others, not so much.  Sacramento rapper and producer Nash Boogie falls into that group of ‘highly-skilled.’ He possesses a distinct, raspy tone, and ‘don’t play’ when it comes to his assertive and aggressive bars.  Not enough folks know the name, but he’s definitely a refreshing voice in a saturated field.  He brings the heat on “A/C Blow Cold,” featuring Luke Tailor and Apollo Cutts.

Boogie comes out swinging over the skeletal backdrop, representing West Coast rap in all its glory.  As aforementioned, he has quite a distinct, raspy voice that ends up being incredibly compelling and intriguing.  The bars he spits on the first verse are cocky, confident, and turned-up – what glorious ear-candy.

Nash Boogie follows up with a hook that’s catchy AF, remaining stuck in your head. Something that stands out is the vocal production, where there are several unique vocal layers that adds even more punch.  Besides the excellence of Nash, he gets strong assists from his featured guests. Sure, he’s the main attraction, but his boys Luke Tailor and Apollo Cutts hold their own, further amplifying this undeniable gem.  Glaring flaws? Yeah, what flaws?


Final Thoughts 

All in all, Nash Boogie shines on “A/C Blow Cold.” “A/C Blow Cold” is proof that some of the best records arrive courtesy of artists who deserve much wider recognition.  If you aren’t already bumping Nash, you better get on it – he’s got beats and he’s got bars.
