BIO

A throwback to 1990s New York, Brooklyn native Joey BadA$$ stood out from the pack by being himself.

His debut studio album, B4.Da.$$, was released on January 20, 2015. His second studio album All-Amerikkkan Badass was released on April 7, 2017.Not only is Joey one of the most skilled rappers on the scene, but he is well on his way to superstardom as an actor with several credits on the small screen.
