Bo-G is shooting bars and bullets in your area if you are in Chicago. Better yet, the lyrical ammo could be touching whomever is outside of the windy city as well, no matter how far, because now, in the new age, gangsters access and utilize just as much technology as the common citizen, so chances are you’ve came across BO-G’s “Now and Next” video on YouTube directed and produced by BO-G himself or you may have caught BO-G’s latest mixtape, Chicago’s DNA on datpiff which features the song the video was inspired by.BO-G represents the gangster life of Chicago, an element that you knew existed out of the windy city, but never really had an in-depth depiction of. The closest that fans may have had to the element of gangster reps out of Chicago are Twista, Crucial Conflict, and Do or Die as far as a mainstream basis. BO-G is the new-age gangster who holds no bars and tells it like it is. On “38 Special”, which BO-G says that he wrote from the state pen with his “state pen” he spits for two minutes straight, professing his beef antics in the streets. On “Cage to the Stage” BO-G rhymes how the streets of Chicago are on some “Vietnam sh*t/ guerilla warfare/ overseas ain’t an option/ it’s a war over here…Bo-G/ Raw Footage/ show you how to cut dimes/ teach ya block hustlin’ while clutchin’ on a chrome 9/ Bustin’ at yo mind/ leave ya back open/ make you run track/ from this Mack that I’m tott’n.” Chicago’s DNA also includes tracks for the ladies with the help of Chicago R&B sensation P. Jericho. The mixtape contains freestyles from BO-G that he did over some instrumentals from Drake’s hits, Diddy Dirty Money, 50 Cent and others. BO-G’s Chicago’s DNA is a representation of the rapper’s grind from the street level. Walking in the shadows of Chicago greats such asKanye West, Common, Lupe Fiasco, and Twista, BO-G pledges his commitment to the grind to lift Chicago gangster rap to heights never reached…Raw Footage style.
