RP Boo is one of the pioneers of footwork and juke music. With a career spanning over three decades, he has been actively involved in the DJ scene since the early 90s. Hailing from Chicago, RP Boo's innovative beats and unique style have made him a respected figure in the genre.
As one of the earliest producers of footwork and juke, RP Boo has played a significant role in shaping the sound and culture of these genres. His tracks are known for their fast-paced rhythms, intricate drum patterns, and energetic samples.
With his deep understanding of music production and extensive experience as a DJ, RP Boo continues to push boundaries and create groundbreaking tracks that captivate audiences worldwide. His contributions to footwork and juke have solidified his status as an influential artist within the electronic music community.

While notorious in the Chicago streets, RP Boo's music had been unfairly confined to a few white labels and self-released mixtapes until his two archival Planet Mu LPs Legacy and Fingers, Bank Pads and Shoe Prints introduced broader audiences to his sonic history,some of it fifteen years after it was first recorded. I’ll Tell You What! is the next step in his mission, and the first time he’s released an album of contemporary material. The title, a favorite maxim of his, welcomes listeners to sit down and let him narrate in the unforgettable abstract fashion he's known for. He explores familiar motifs such as the cosmos, movement, and opposition, using densely interwoven vocals, unpredictable percussion, and evil humming bass as his tools of choice. RP Boo’s music doesn’t follow thetraditional rules that most compositions do. Layering decades of samples from yesteryear to the present over his commanding vocal cut-ups, he transports the listener to their own realm of the space-time continuum. The main difference between this record and his prior work is now we hear Boo tell new stories about preaching his gospel outside of Chicago, from his experiences frantically touring the globe over the last five years.
