Boldy James's 12-song album Bentayga Genesis is out November 13, 2026, on Royal House Records, produced by Roger L. Goodman. The 12 songs add up to 34 minutes.

The producer credit

On October 29, Boldy announced Bentayga Genesis for November 13 on Instagram and credited Roger L. Goodman as the producer.

In a later post, he pointed to the lead single, "Love Me Now," and wrote that it was "Prod by" Roger L. Goodman. On November 5, he posted again, this time naming "Mr. DeVille," and again credited Goodman as the producer.

The "Love Me Now" single came out October 23, 2026, on Royal House Records. An official video for the song is on Boldy James's YouTube channel.

A Detroit producer, and a second Royal House album

Boldy and Goodman already made Permanent Ink together, a 13-song album that came out January 24, 2025, on Royal House Recording and runs 31 minutes. Apple Music's editorial on that album describes it as "Recorded with fellow Detroiter Roger Goodman of Royal House."

Guests include Payroll Giovanni on "Only You," and Icewear Vezzo and Sada Baby on "50 Summers."

KAZI's October 30 piece on Boldy James and Real Bad Man's Strobelight covers that album, produced by Real Bad Man.

My read

This is a Roger L. Goodman story as much as a Boldy one. Boldy put the producer's name on the album announcement and on the songs he posted ahead of the release, including the lead single. After Permanent Ink, they are asking listeners to meet Bentayga Genesis as a producer-and-rapper album on Royal House.
