Video: Joey Bada$$ & Pro Era Behind The Scenes At Jimmy Fallon

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

We already got the official look at Joey Bada$$'s network television debut--performing his single "Waves" alongside The Roots on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon--and now we get the unofficial, behind-the-scenes, fly-on-the-wall look, thanks to his Pro Era crew in conjunction with Creative Control TV. Follow young Joey into the dressing rooms as he speaks on his journey from banging beats on the lunchroom table to  the Top of the proverbial Rock. Whether you view him as an arrogant upstart or New York rap's greatest hope, Joey's metorically quick rise makes this one of the rare cases where seeing the moment through his eyes via a home-made POV video might be as compelling as experiencing the same moment in broadcast quality. Watch below and cop "Waves" as a single on iTunes now.
