A new self-titled EP from The Bul Bey recently arrived via Illvibe Media. Over the span of five tracks, the emcee covers a lot of ground. There’s an authoritative air on display – a conversational tone that exudes confidence, striking with hard-hitting, personal topics. A through line of perseverance and persistence reigns, as if any obstacle that stands in the way is just another opportunity to shine. As the EP closes with “Deep Down In My Heart,” the artist addresses his demons and coming out on the other side, exhibiting a reaffirmed conviction to succeed/move forward, punctuated by a blistering guitar solo from Anthony DeCarlo of Ill Doots.
