Let’s revisit 1999, shall we? Mos Def’s Black On Both Sides, The Roots’ Things Fall Apart, Rawkus Records’ Soundbombing II, Pharoah Monche’ Internal Affairs, Eminem’s Slim Shady LP and Q-Tip’s Amplified were just a few seminal albums that helped usher in the new millennium.
17-year-old Joey Bada$$ is here to bring that boom-bap sound back to hip-hop. He has been co-signed by Vashtie, 9th Wonder and Mac Miller and is currently under management by Johnny Shipes (president of Cinematic Music Group, which manages Big K.R.I.T. and Smoke DZA). Joey’s music presents an introspective teenager with a mature mindset … perhaps that’s what happens when one doesn’t listen to the radio’s repetitive music.
Joey and his Pro Era camp are an incredible addition to the young New York hip-hop scene. His debut project 1999 has been delayed a few times, but the latest date is tomorrow (6/12). Peep a snippet of 1999′s tracklist and the vids below to check out some of his content, as well as a behind-the-scenes video called “Songs From Scratch.”
