Bon Net Fide / Bonafide ; same thing (lol). BonNetFide is my 9th album. BonNetFide is me my character and talent. Did Bonnette Da Bandit title his latest opus BON NET FIDE or BONAFIDE? That’s the opening philosophical riddle posed by the alternative hip-hop scene’s self-proclaimed savior. It’s an intellectual quandary designed to signal immediately that this isn’t just another underground rap album; according to Bonnette, this is a doctoral thesis on True Realness. The irony, of course, is that the entire marketing campaign hinged on assuring listeners that these were, at long last, the “authentic” rap lyrics the world had been starving for, as if every previous release by every other artist was just poorly managed performance art. Different producers on the beats. Mukey Nukem stills leads the way with the instrumental for BonNetFide.

BON NET FIDE is a masterclass in performative grit. The production snaps, crackles, and pops with the requisite vinyl static, ensuring you know you’re listening to something that hasn’t been corrupted by mainstream mastering processes. Bonnette Da Bandit proceeds to drop bars about the struggles of maintaining his status as a misunderstood genius while navigating the horrors of 21st-century artistic integrity—you know, the usual tales of delayed royalty checks and finding decent coffee in the studio. The project is absolutely bonafide, provided your definition of authentic means meticulously following the prescribed checklist for sounding precisely like every other critically lauded “underground” artist who scoffs at anything charting above 100 on Spotify. So yes, if you required proof that rap’s latest anti-hero is truly, unequivocally committed to keeping hip-hop real by making it sound exactly as expected, this is the definitive, 100% genuine article. Unfortunately J.A.B. doesnt have a beat on this album. CeeJ808 is from the U.K. He tossed me some beats + he has mixed and mastered the bonus tracks.
