Following the release of two successful mixtapes over the last two years, Joey Bada$$ is dropping his debut album B4.Da.$$ — hopefully soon. A release date hasn’t been set yet, but after hearing the first single off the album, we can’t wait much longer. The single, “Big Dusty”, showcases his raw talent which is comparable to the kind of hip hop sound we used to hear in the 90s.

“1999 was my happier, younger side, and Summer Knights showed my darker side. B4.Da.$$ explores the contrast of them and basically let’s you know why I am the way I am. It’s important to switch it up. You can’t always come out with the same shit. I like to recreate myself with every project that I make. You know what I’m saying.? I try to remain different and versatile.”
