Joey Bada$$ sure is making “Waves” in the rap industry in 2012. The Brooklynite debuts his Va$htie-directed video for one of many standout cuts off his 1999 debut mixtape. Watch the MTV2 premiere above.
After the jump, a recap of Joey’s recent show at NYC’s S.O.B.’s on Thursday night…..

Damn, his mixtape is dope, that video shows he’s humble and craftful. I hope he won’t get spoiled too fast by the luxuries of raplife…

This Kid is EXACTLY what is needed. Skilled wordplay, content relevant to his actual life, no floss, no fluff, just hard bars and skills. I’ve had 1999 on steady loop. Wishing much success to this kid.

Agreed. My boy just told me about him last week. “He has the 92-95 flows, classic NY” and I thought maybe there was a little exaggeration to that statement but watching this vid and the song definitely took me back to Brooklyn around that exact time.
Much success (and most importantly stability) to the boy and his crew. I’m about to get into ’1999′.
