A Boogie wit da Hoodie fans have come to distinguish between his A Boogie and Artist musical personalities as equally essential sides of the Bronx-hailing MC: A Boogie is the worry-free rock star, while Artist (Boogie’s government name) is the eternally heartbroken R&B singer. Before we get what he’s billed as a showdown of these voices (the tentatively named A Boogie vs Artist project), A Boogie delivers a seven-song appetizer in B4 AVA to give fans a taste of what they can expect. He’s tapped a few dependable hitmakers for production (Smash David, OG Parker, Murda Beatz) and includes a single guest verse from Lil Durk (bonus cut “24 Hours”), but whether it’s A Boogie or Artist, B4 AVA is one of NYC’s most beloved MCs putting it down exactly the way he wants to.
