Music / First LookBOOTS – AlrightExclusive: Beyoncé's producer lets rip on selling one million in a week in a new rap track and snowy videoShareLink copied ✔️March 26, 2014MusicFirst LookTextOwen Myers “Everybody ask where I’m from / everybody asks what I done” raps Boots in “Alright”, in a lyric that’s a pretty succinct summation of the online frenzy surrounding the mysterious BEYONCÉ producer. Over an echo-y, handclap-littered beat, he rails against record labels wanting a “new whore”, being haunted (Bey reference?) by the dreams of an unborn life, and even Miley Cyrus’ tongue.

The track's taken from Boots' mixtape Dust, which he's releasing songs from every other Tuesday. Escape the algorithm!
