Joey Bada$$

Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, or Joey Bada$$, is a hip hop artist from Bedstuy, Brooklyn, NYC. He is a founder of the succesful Pro Era hip hop group, which he made with his friends in High School. Joey is known for his quality lyrics and his 90's style beats. He also shows a wide range of styles. "Waves" and "Like Me" have a chill feel, whereas "Christ Conscious" and "Sup Preme" are louder and more energetic. In his lyrics, he often raps about issues such as violent youth and "the system". His music is also usually released on Soundcloud through Pro Era, so it is open to everyone!

An awesome fucking rapper with great flow, lyricism and wordplay who can shit all over kendrick lamar any day. Not only is he one of the two GOATS of this generation (along with J. Cole), but he has also managed to drop what might just be the greatest hip hop album of this decade with All-Amerikkkan Bada$$, an album with a strong message that you can play from start to finish. Unlike most hip hop albums of today which are usually filled with filler songs about money, cars and bitches, Joey was able to stick to the point for the entire album and every song was well-produced. Many people won't admit it yet, but Joey has a modern day classic under his belt!
