Joey Bada$$ – B4.DA.$$
[Sony]
At just 20-years-old (it was his birthday the day of the album’s release), Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ has ditched the teenage mixtape schtick of his formative years with this star-studded debut LP. Featuring slick production from fellow Pro Era members Kirk Knight and Chuck Strangers as well as the legendary DJ Premier, B4.DA.$$(pronounced Before Da Money)is Joey fervently in his peak state of mind: waxing lyrical about the cultural movement he helped lead out of NYC and offering biographical insight into Black America.
