After A Long Hiatus, BoodahDARR Is Back With His Boldest Song Yet
Boodah DARR has been on my radar since last October when I first heard his music through a submission. I gave him a proper post for Do Not Disturb, and haven’t looked back. I wanted to grab him first and chop it up with dude, which I did just 2 weeks later. It’s been a minute…
