Joey Bada$$ Breaks Down 'B4.DA.$$', Getting Extra Attention From The Government + More On 'Sway In The Morning'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Young Joey Bada$$ was looking awfully grown on a recent interview with the Sway In The Morning crew, jumping into his recent tiffs with the federal government and a certain first daughter and how the added attention has been effecting him. It's no secret that Malia Obama's got love Pro Era, but there's a warranted level of paranoia in having his crew's name tied to communism and Marxism by right-wing media outlets, who clearly don't even know who he is. Those are the growing pains though, and he seems to be adjusting just fine. With Ma Dukes by his side, he received nothing but praise for his swift come-up, all-BK delivery and fully-formed stage persona. After putting some of his worries to rest, Brooklyn's resident Bada$$ went on to provide listeners with an in-depth lyrical breakdown of his debut B4.DA.$$ LP, revealing his pen to be as sharp as any in the game, and all by the ripe age of 20. You can watch Joey Bada$$ vent on some of his media frustrations, getting wire-tapped and a whole lot more on Sway In The Morning below.
