There’s no way to count out New York hip-hop with Joey Bada$$ and his Pro Era movement on the scene. Today they rereleased the classic mixtape ‘PEEP The Apocalypse’ for its sixth anniversary on all streaming platforms.
The mixtape includes a new joint entitled “Know the Rules” featuring CJ Flight and Kirk Knight. This is just a lil something special they’ve given us to hold us over until the 2019 Pro Era album.

While he readies his next project, Joey Bada$$ has been staying busy and releasing a lot of new material. He recently linked up with XXXtenaction for a remix of Jay Rock’s “King’s Dead,” then went off on The Notorious B.I.G. tribute “King of the Jungle.”
He returns with a remix to YBN Nahmir’s “Bounce Out With That,” where he drops solid bars and tweaks the hook a bit, and pledges his allegiance to the 8tray crips.

Some how, some way talented New York rapper Joey Bada$$ ends up on a record with Florida clout chaser, XXXtentaction. Both artists collaborate and put their twist on Jay Rock’s “King’s Dead” single off ‘Black Panther: The Album’, the soundtrack for Marvel’s “Black Panther” movie.
Badmon kicks things off with braggadocio raps about being the “youngest under 30 on the Forbes list” and address the king of New York conversation by rapping, “You n****s worried ’bout the crown, worried ’bout the crown / Fuck it, you can tell them clowns they can keep it.”
Many believe that was a dig at fellow New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine and although it might be, this is not the kind of blog where stuff gets stirred up like a cocktail. You be the judge for yourself.

When Joey Bada$$ performed a twist of Prince’s “When Doves Cry” last month, many people were shocked that the Pro Era rapper was able to pull it off. The remake “Thugz Cry” was such a sensation that Joey released the official single today.
Can’t explain the pain, all I know is chains / All I know is whips, and all I know is gang / Don’t even know my name, and the place from which you came / Ni**as love to talk, but ni**as never change,” raps Joey reflecting on violence, racism, and the fight for freedom.

In 2017 Post Malone may not have dropped his highly-anticipated ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’ album. That did not stop him from earning a No. 1 and having a big anthem in his 21 Savage-assisted “Rockstar” single, which has been moving everywhere.
Yesterday, Joey Bada$$ admitted to co-writing the single on his Twitter account and today the official, original version of the song was leaked. The original version subtracts 21 and adds Joey and auto-tune genius, T-Pain.

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.

Exclusively released on TIDAL, Joey Bada$$ drops the visuals for his ‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$’ standout, “Temptation.” Fans have been eagerly anticipating this video and now Joey rewards fans with the visuals, which were shot in his hometown of Brooklyn.
The Joey and Nathan Smith co-directed video highlights a lot of social injustices that happen everyday in Amerikkka. A scene shows police harassing African-American man on the streets, before they badger Joey and shut his show down.

BARZ OF THE WEEK: LIL WAYNE – “MAGNOLIA (FREESTYLE)”
@IAMBNYCE
A few days ago Joey Bada$$ celebrated the 4-year anniversary of his second project, ‘Summer Knights’. The Pro Era general then promised to drop something new “for the summer.” Joey delivers by dropping three new singles today.
All three singles “Too Lit,” “500 Benz,” and “Love Is Only A Feeling,” are all produced by frequent collaborator, Statik Selektah. The three new tracks are very mellow and sound like something you can press play on a warm summer cruise.
Listen to the new singles below and let us know what your favorite of the three is in the comments.
@IAMBNYCE
If you’re a fan of real hip-hop, Joey Bada$$ has exactly what you need on his new album ‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$’. ‘AABA’ follows Joey’s 2015 debut album ‘B4.DA.$$’ and sheds light on several social, racial, and political issues.
The album is loaded with 12-tracks and features from some of the game’s illest lyricist like J. Cole on “Legendary,” ScHoolboy Q on “Rockabye Baby,” Styles P on “Super Predator,” and Kirk Knight, Nyck Caution, and Meechy Darko of Flatbush Zombies on “Ring the Alarm.”
‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$’ also includes the lead single “Devastated,” which has become a motivational anthem and the politically-charged “Land of the Free,” where Joey delivers a gut-wrenching message for Donald Trump and preaches advancement overall.
When discussing the album with Beats1 Joey said, “The real side of me, just the human side of me was feeling connected to it ’cause I felt so close to it. The musician side of me started feeling responsible, not responsible for what was happening, but responsible on how we can change it. How we could bring more awareness to certain situations. This project, I’m glad you said it, it’s about my experience as a black man in America, but it’s not just my experience. It’s your experience.”
