In between, we play its game.  Buffalo-born, <strong>BSF <\/strong>member, <strong>Heem<\/strong>, documents life in the trenches, with an acute attention to detail, unfiltered honesty, and a sharp sense of humor. <strong>Heem <\/strong>depicts moments of pain, transformation, and triumph with his sophomore <strong>BSF <\/strong>project, and new full-length LP, <em>From The Cradle To The Game<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Thriving in his closer role, <strong>Heem <\/strong>put a bow on <strong>BSF<\/strong>\u2019s 2020 with his <em>Long Story Short<\/em> project with <strong>Green Lantern &#038; DJ Shay<\/strong>. Curated and championed by the late, great <strong>DJ Shay <\/strong>and hosted by<strong> DJ Green Lantern<\/strong>, <em>Long Story Short<\/em> featured appearances from <strong>Benny The Butcher<\/strong>, <strong>Rick Hyde<\/strong> &#038; <strong>Boldy James<\/strong>, along with production from <strong>DJ Shay<\/strong>, <strong>Jansport J<\/strong>, and <strong>DJ Green Lantern<\/strong>.

I\u2019ve gone through a lot, and the title of my album is named after these real-life experiences.\u201d<br \/>\nAlong the way, <strong>Heem <\/strong>assembled what would eventually become <em>From The Cradle To The Game<\/em>.  \u201cI came up a good child, went over the line, and jumped into the game\u201d <strong>Heem <\/strong>observes.  \u201cI went from the street game to the rap game.  I\u2019m a little more seasoned, and this is ready to go.
