Now, Boom Blake returns with “Blow The Whole Band,” next-level delivery from the Phoenix wordsmith. The new release, which is produced by Chevy of Gwap Gang, transports a raw and uncut edge to hip-hop while solidifying Blake as one of the most groundbreaking independent voices in the underground.
The single leads with a powerful and colorful self-directed video shot at a location in Costa Rica. Bold, it’s a mission statement that holds a gritty sense of elegance and serves to play off the duality present in Blake's art through an impeccable visual contrast between street realism with wide open spaces lifting his message on high. Every frame breathes the energy of the track, making the video an essential continuation of that attitude cemented in song.
What makes the track rise above just being a banger, though, is Blake's ability to straddle the line between the raw and the refined. It plays like a statement of self-sufficiency, self-determination, and a promise that he won't be diluted for mass consumption. “Blow The Whole Band” finds Blake ripping through heat on money-stacked symbolism and unflinching spitting bars.
“Blow The Whole Band” addresses hustlers and survivors by the horns, carving their path with no frills or distractions. Combining street-wrought charisma with a world-view mentality reignites the spark that hip-hop's base message remains independent and grows into arenas of larger-scale ambitions.
