2018 will see Joey continue to take his exciting live show on the road and the growth of Pro Era Records with multiple releases from members of the collective as well as Joey himself. Joey finished out the year touring Europe and Asia. Joey also made a return to the third season of the Golden Globe-Winning television show Mr.
He was also the cover star for Nylon Men’s fashion issue in March. Joey has recently been featured in Forbes, Glamour, GQ, and Billboard Magazine. In 2017, Joey was also featured in international Adidas, American Eagle, Calvin Klein, and Pony ad campaigns. His lead single “Devastated” which he debuted at Coachella in 2016, is now certified Platinum by the RIAA. Opening week, the album came out strong as the #1 rap album and #2 independent album in the country. On April 7, 2017, Joey released his sophomore album ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ featuring J. The project henceforth received acclaim from his critics as well as his fans and is the catalyst that has placed Joey among hip-hop’s elite. His debut studio album, B4.da.$$, released on Januthrough Pro Era Records / Cinematic Music Group, sold an impressive 56,000 units its opening week making it the #1 rap and #1 independent album in the country. Joey released his debut mixtape, 1999, in June 2012 to critical acclaim and recognition, followed by Rejex in September, and Summer Knights on July 1, 2013. He is a co-founder of the collective Pro Era, with whom he has released two mixtapes and toured the globe multiple times. Whereas other rappers may take less risks with formulaic projects, Joey never shies away from keeping his music raw and original. With his rugged style, an invigorating outcome of his Brooklyn neighborhood and surroundings, Joey Bada$$ has been a staple in the hip-hop industry for maintaining an authentic, unique and versatile sound. He is a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and co-editor of Bada$$ is an American, independent hip-hop Recording Artist, who hails from Brooklyn, NY. Pick up Rejex exclusively on .Ĭhris Martin is a Brooklyn-based writer. Leaving room for improvement, Rejex proves if nothing else that Joey – who isn’t even old enough to legally buy cigarettes, raps better than anyone in his age range and probably a couple of tiers above him as well. Or will he bring the ears of popular culture to him? Will this perfectly crafted and comfortable pocket be his very own glass ceiling, like other New York rappers before him? Nothing on this tape (or its predecessor for that matter) fits a more radio or popular format, so it can easily be boxed in. Rejex capitalizes on the essence that is ‘New York Rap’ from his sound to content, but this can also be an area of concern.
The sequence isn’t as fluid as 1999 and some records seem random.

Serving as more of a placeholder with the intent to keep the attention of his fans going than a full project, Rejex falls slightly short of its intent. With standout cuts such as ‘Indubitable,’ ‘The Gushy,’ and ‘Catharsis,’ Joey continues lacing records that give off an aura of ’90s nostalgia with a venomous flow that would make the late Big-L proud. Rejex is filled with tracks about love, aspirations, and the sport of rap itself. He opens with a bold declaration of “back when rappers were really rappers,” seemingly placing himself above the current climate of his peers. Although they were rejected, make no mistake these tracks are no slouches. The appropriately titled Rejex is a compilation of 14 songs that didn’t make the cut on his first offering, 1999.
