It’s genuinely intriguing how far Joey Bada$$ has come in one year. As demonstrated by his mixtape Rejex, he’s been rapping the same way – lots of internal rhymes, puns on pronunciations, heavy references – since he was 15, yet he has still found ways to innovate. Last year’s project, 1999, was a hit, showing him in top form, yet compared to last year, he’s gotten even better. “95 Til Infinity” features him trading his foregoing his typically casual flow for an earnest, somewhat anguished delivery.
Citing Ab-Soul and briefly diving into politics, you get the feeling that his focus may have changed a little bit since last year. Summer Knights, his next project, was supposed to drop today, but it’s been pushed back. Pushbacks are usually bummers, but “95 Til Infinity” makes it worth the wait; Joey is on the brink of something amazing. Listen below.
