Known for his production work and collaborating with Beyonce, Vic Mensa, and Kelea, Boots is a singer and songwriter who tends to stay in the shadows. He is credited with producing and writing three of Beyonce’s songs from her self-titled album including “Blue.” Today, Boots is stepping out of the shadows as he drops a 4-track EP called #DarkDaze in celebration of his 31st birthday and he is celebrating not by receiving gifts but giving them out instead.
One of the tracks on Boots new EP #DarkDaze is titled “Delete Delete” which pairs Boots with Killer and El-P (aka the Hip-Hop duo Run the Jewels,) as they exchange some political rhymes over sick heavy bass). The track also features vocals from actress Cristin Milioti who stared on Broadway in the Tony award-winning Once. Fans may know her as the Mother on How I Met Your Mother as well as Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner.
#DarkDaze tracklist:
1. #DarkDaze
2. No Stop It
3. Delete Delete (feat. Run the Jewels & Cristin Milioti
4. STRanGE (Deathfx Mix)
The EP, follows up Boots’ 2015 project Aquaria. In a statement regarding the Ep, Boots said; “Awake in the present, I believed I could create something that reaches through time to give you an approximate translation of who/how/what I am.”
