Boogieman Dela has no intention of explaining himself to his competition, and on the lead single from his soon-to-be-released project Letters to Myself, he makes that very clear.

A collaboration with fellow Philly rapper Chill Moody, “Why They Talk So Much?” has a classic R&B ring with a slightly defensive tone in the lyrics, positioning himself as an alternative to scene players who don’t put their money where their mouth is; Boogie and his friends clearly prefer the show, don’t tell approach.

We got a taste of Boogieman Dela’s unique Philly-grown style is all about in his recent Key Studio Session (which you can check out here), where he proved his melodic abilities are just as fine-tuned as his skills of spitting bars over trap beats.
