17-åringen bjuder på överblivna spår från hans hyllade "1999"-projekt.

En av årets stora snackisar bland hiphopskallar har varit New York-rapparen Joey Bada$$ som med finess och känsla fångat känslan av 90-talshiphop i sin musik – endast sjutton år gammal. Med mixtapet “1999” fick han lovord från stora delar av hiphop-communityt som hyllade ansatsen att återskapa en svunnen era.

Nu släpper Joey ett färskt mixtape med överblivna låtar från inspelningarna av det hyllade projektet – det nya mixtapet har fått titeln “rejex”. Joey själv beskriver tapet enligt nedan:

“1999 rejex” is a compilation of tracks that didn’t make it to my debut mixtape “1999″ (obviously). I decided to put this project together because I have a lot of unreleased material that I didn’t want to keep from the ears of my fans and supporters. I also have a couple of tracks on here I did when I was 15 years old (“little rachel”, “indubitable”, and “silent knight”) and I want to show people the progress I’ve made in a couple of years. The remaining songs (“flowers pt. I”, “catharsis”, “panty raid”, “fantum” and “update”) are tracks I dropped prior to the release of ’99 as promo only. I look at “rejex” as my more experimental side compared to ’99. Putting together these two projects even taught me a lil sumchin about my evolution as an artist and individual. Watch me go from “Joey B4 DA $$” to the “Joey BA DA $$”…… If you know what eye mean.. Haha
