Joey Bada$$ Unleashes A New Album Single. He & Statik Selektah Have Chemistry (Audio)

For an artist who puts art above image, music above interview antics, and the engaged live show above dedicated social media presence, January is a great month to release an album. Slow burn and long consideration will go a long way for Cinematic’s longtime emerging star. With January 20, 2015 on the books for Joey Bada$$’s B4.Da.$$ album debut, the roll-out is well underway.

Following the otherworldly “Christ Conscious” video, Joey teams with tour DJ/producer Statik Selektah for second offering, “No. 99.” Dusty drums, hard upright bass riffs, and fuzzed out effects color the way for the Brooklyn MC to call his lyrical troops to war on the new single.

Here’s B4.Da.$$ tracklist, and simple artwork, with guest-work that may surprise Pro Era Heads:
