RP Boo ~ I’ll Tell You What!

“The richest place in the world is the cemetery. And it’s not because of the jewelry that people might have on. It’s because of what they had in their mind that they wanted to give, but didn’t have anyone to give it to. That’s how I learned that it’s not about me, it’s about the listeners. It’s about giving back. I wanna die empty.” — RP Boo

“While notorious in the streets of his own city, most of his music had been unfairly confined to small white labels and self-released mixtapes until his two LPs of archival material Legacy, and Fingers, Bank Pads & Shoe Prints introduced broader audiences to his sonic history, some of it fifteen years after it was first recorded to a four-track. I’ll Tell You What! is the next step in Boo’s mission to rid his mind of everything it contains, and marks the first time he’s released an album of contemporary material shortly after creating it. The title, a favorite maxim of his, welcomes listeners to sit down and let him narrate in the unforgettable abstract fashion that he is known for. He explores familiar motifs, such as the cosmos, movement, and opposition, using densely interwoven vocals, unpredictable percussion, and evil humming bass as his tools of choice.” — Planet Mu
