Joey Bada$$ - Black Beetles

A hot young talent with an old-school soul, New York rapper Joey Bada$$ offers a gritty, witty and deeply lyrical alternative to current mainstream hip-hop on his long-awaited debut album B4.DA.$$.

Over vintage boom-bap drums and soulful samples, provided by heavyweight producers like DJ Premier and Statik Selektah, the prodigiously skilled Bada$$ updates the rough-but-smooth vibe of golden age rap for the millennial generation, rocking a flow that’s equally inspired by the introspective rhymes of Mos Def and the intricate street tales of Nas.

B4.DA.$$ will thrill both hip-hop veterans and rap fans too young to remember the innovative '90s greats that Bada$$ reveres.
