Real rap is alive and well.

Bobby Part Time's "To Whom It May Concern" is a powerful testament to the enduring draw of lyrical and underground hip-hop. This album is a refreshing departure from the mainstream sounds dominating the genre, as Bobby fearlessly delves into socially conscious themes and delivers razor-sharp lyricism that demands attention. If you’re a 90’s kid like me and miss the days of Datpiff mixtapes, this EP has the vibe of J. Coles Friday Night Lights.

Right from the jump with Peter Piper, Bobby sets the tone for the album with his hard hitting flow and a dope bass heavy beat.

He tackles a wide range of subjects, including his parents getting divorced, mental health, and personal growth, all with a poetic finesse that speaks to the heart and mind. The raw and unapologetic delivery of his lyrics is a testament to his commitment to authentic storytelling. It’s real rap.

The production on "To Whom It May Concern" is a perfect complement to Bobby's lyricism, with its gritty, boom-bap beats and soulful samples. The tracks exude a nostalgic aura, paying homage to the golden era of hip-hop while adding a contemporary edge. Bobby's ability to effortlessly flow over these beats, weaving intricate wordplay and clever metaphors, is really impressie.

What truly sets this album apart is its unwavering commitment to consciousness. Bobby's ability to fuse meaningful content with infectious hooks and captivating flows creates a compelling listening experience that demands repeated spins.

This is a must-listen for fans of the underground and conscious hip-hop scene. It's an album that resonates deeply and leaves a lasting impact. Nothing better than finding a future star early.

This quality of an album from an artist with less than 200 monthly listeners is WILD. I’m pumped I found Bobby and am really looking forward to future releases. If you like finding great new artists before the masses, I recommend giving this man a follow.
