As part of BBC Radio 1’s “Piano Series,” Joey Bada$$ paid homage to hip-hop legends, Jay Z and Nas with a tribute mashup.
Joined by British musician, Dave, who played a piano rendition of Hov’s classic debut ‘Reasonable Doubt’, Badmon performed the hook from Nas’ 1994 single, “The World Is Yours,” off his ‘Illmatic’ debut album. The combination of the classic was paired with Joey’s “Amerikkkan Idol” single off his most recent album, ‘All AmeriKKKan Bada$$’.
The powerful performance was Joey’s “message for the world” as he continued to rap, “Watch out / Another ni**a runnin’ in the White House / But I won’t stop ’til this whole shit painted in all black.”
Watch the full performance below.
