B71qZ-AIYAI4zGU

Both Logic and Joey Bada$$ share a few commonalities. The ones that come to mind first are that they both are super-talented lyricists, both have a crazy fan base, both make socially-conscious music for the people, and both just dropped new albums. Now, they will join forces to share a stage on their joint “Everybody’s Tour” along with Big Lenbo.

The 29-city tour will begin in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 9th. From there the summer ride will stop in major cities like LA, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, and more before coming to a halt on August 26th in Toronto.

Logic recently-released his ‘Everybody’ album, that has received high praise. While Joey released his sophomore ‘All Amerikkkan Bada$$’ album a few weeks ago.

Special pre-sale tickets will go on sale May 15th and general sales will start May 16th.

Joey Bada$$ – Word Is Bond (Audio)

Word Is Bond

It’s not just a new song that’s being posted but the artwork of his upcoming album, Summer Knights, the announcement of said album and it’s release date, June 12th. Lots of information in one sentence, right? For the first Summer Knights single, Joey Bada$$’ has released “Word Is Bond” with a lovely musical arrangement provided by Statik Selektah.

Summer night approved.

Pro Era – School High (Video)

Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era are back in class in the 90s-feel video, “School High,” where Joey cleverly reminds us that we went to high school but he went to school high. In addition to hotboxing a school bus, the video includes pieces of animation that goes well with the high school school high vibe. Kick back and watch Pro Era’s new video above.

Statik Selektah ft. Raekwon, Joey Bada$$ & Black Thought – Bird’s Eye View (Audio)

Bird's Eye View

This that shit I do like. Sorry for (mis)quoting an old Chief Keef song but man, this new cut off Statik Selektah’s Extended Play is such a great track. Statik delivered bringing Raekwon, the young buck Joey Bada$$ and Black Thought together over an impressive beat with a beautiful sample. Black Thought’s verse is my favorite (like wow.) but everyone held their ground on “Bird’s Eye View.” I mean, they ooze with talent as soon as the beat drops.

I always enjoy hearing the scratching in Statik Selektah’s tracks not to mention he knows how to pick artists for his beats. His album Extended Play drops June 18. Just a heads up for good music headed your way this summer.

Joey Bada$$, Pro Era & DJ Premier In The Making Of “Unorthodox” (Video)

For the official music video, the goal of renowned directing duo Coodie and Chike (founders of NY production house Creative Control), was to take the audience on an illustrated journey with Joey, Premier & Pro Era through the cold streets of Brooklyn. In this “Making Of” clip, go behind the scenes of that directorial process, as they shoot the initial background “backplates,” then move to the studio for green screen performances from Joey and crew, and finally give you an insider look at the animation process you’ll see come to life in the final product.
