Joey Bada$$
Age: 18
From: Brooklyn, NY
Label: Pro.Era
Joey Bada$$ hit the scene in 2012 with his song "Survival Tactics" which impressed us with its impressive lyrics and great video. That song, along with "Waves," helped create a buzz for Joey to release his well received debut mixtape, 1999. In 2013, he released another one, Summer Knights, but it didn't feature any true standout cuts and did little to increase his appeal. His name has been growing incrementally but his career could use a shot in the arm.
There's no denying the Brooklyn rapper can spit—we've seen him hold his own amongst some of rap's most talented young rappers on A$AP Rocky's "1 Train." And it's not often you see a young rapper as poised as Joey. The question for his upcoming debut album, B4.D@.$$, is whether it can win him the recognition ne needs to become a true force in hip-hop or if it will just solidify him as an underground presence. —Elva
