Born in Los Angeles but raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, rapper A1 Bold possesses the menace and swagger of a classic West Coast MC with a distinctive Southern charm. Naming himself after the spicier variation of America’s favorite steak sauce, Bold, who also goes by “The Sauceman,” is intent on making himself a household name, whetting listeners’ appetites for his rapid fire rhymes and slithering, bouncing beats. The rapper lists a wide variety of artists as his influences, ranging from Pigeon John to Jay-Z, from Phil Collins to Babyface. A1 Bold’s flow is reminiscent of early, pre-Crash Ludacris, who he may very well eventually replace as one of Southern rap’s chief representatives. “iChill” is Bold’s resolution to all the world’s troubles set to drumline fills and dramatic piano melodies, his cool demeanor taking precedence to losing his composure in any stressful situation. - Amorn Bholsangngam
