A few years ago, Sly Boogy was considered one of the most promising artists coming up out of the West Coast. Not only did he possess an incredible lyrical skill but Sly was also putting the I.E. (Inland Empire) on the map.
As most of you know, he was set to come out through J Records, with his successful “California” single building his buzz, but (what a surprise), label issues kept Sly from having the success he was supposed to have. After his Scott Storch produced banger “That’s My Name” revived his buzz for a while, as of late it seemed as if the King of The I.E. was nowhere to be found.
That being said, I have some great news for all the Sly Boogy fans out there. He contacted dubcnn this week to get the word out about his new EP, which is entitled “Beauty Of Death” and will be dropping for free download on dubcnn on October 31st.
Incase some of you thought that Sly might have lost his touch after his long absence, get ready to be proven wrong. We have three tracks off the EP for you to preview and you will see that the man is still sharp as ever. The track “Let’s Go” is also the single, for which a video is being shot, so look out for that on dubcnn soon.
Sly Boogy – Let’s Go!
Sly Boogy – West Up (ft. Kierra)
Sly Boogy – Keep On (ft. Crooked I, Kam, Miss King & A.P.)
We also have a short promo video for the “Beauty of Death” EP, which is pretty controversial, check it out below:
Sly Boogy – The Beauty Of Death EP (Promo Video)
Features on the album include the PBG, a group consisting of Sly Boogy, RnB and Dirty Birdy, as well as Crooked I, Kam and vocalists Kierra, Miss King, AP and Jah Free. Production was provided by TWhy, XL Middleton, The System, Tweek Beatz, and Noah Ayala.
The “Beauty Of Death” EP is just a prelude to a full length album that will be released in early ’09. Get ready for the return of Sly Boogy, the man has a lot to get off his chest!
