    Today, Pro Era’s Joey Bada$$ announced his next project. The Brooklyn, New York emcee is working on an EP called Summer Knights. The title takes its name from the Chuck Strangers-produced song from Joey’s 2012 mixtape, 1999. The tape would later receive Mixtape Of The Year honors from HipHopDX.

    The project will release on June 12. Previously, Bada$$ referred to the project as a “mixtape,” which is presumably a free effort.

    Summer Knights EP was initially thought to be a Pro Era group project from Joey’s May 10 tweet, though in today’s tweet, Bada$$ referred to it as his own.

    This summer, Bada$$ will appear on Statik Selektah’s Extended Play album.

      1. Do you think he will still be relevant in 6 years? Cause I don’t. I love the dude music to death but he just reminds me so much of how Mos was about to take off… Nigga not even mentioned anymore.

    28. Come on be serious. I’m from the south but I don’t limit my listening only to the south. I will always respect the East coast because they created this music you call rap/hip-hop. The Bronx to be exact is the birthplace of hip hop. I personally listen to any rapper that can rap. I don’t give a fuck where he from but as long as he got skills I’ll listen to it. Liking music simply because it’s from the same region you are from and not actually listening to the lyrics to the songs is straight up stupid. You need to open your damn eyes and ears and stop being biased and know talent when you see or hear it. Dissing the East while listening to any form of hip hop is like being a Muslim and saying fuck Mecca. It don’t make sense.

    46. If cheef keef aint on the album, i’m not even going to listen to it. At least put some Ja Rule, that would be dope too.

    49. The eastcoast will always have the best artist when it comes to lyricists. Southern and westcoast is more about sound not to take anything away from that I just respect the northeast more because of it. Anybody can make somethin sound good..it takes real talent to have meaning and true lyricism. These trap artists are takin over..it’s sad that even some great artists are fallin victim to the garbage 2chainz and Waka put out and work with them. It’s more about money more than poetry now…there is no more poetry in hip hop any more. Like Nas said..Hip Hop is dead. BTW EVERYONE FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM!! @nick_africa

      3. I kinda agree with Nick. Then again I aint biased about a coast and I couldn’t give two shits where an artist is from if i dig what they do, then I dig it.

      2. Pay attention to the lyrics, Joey’s got bars and he’s got skills, I just think he has a horrible ear for beats that suit him. The beats are nice just not suited to him at all.

        Reply

    63. Too slow for me, his beats are trash. He will never sell with these beats, shit is boring as hell. He might be lucky enuff to squeeze out 35k to 40k on his debut, no more.

      Who the hell gone give him a whopping 3 mill to sign???

    64. beats are so lame, never heard of this guy, gave him a chance, then another and another. not one good beat on this mixtape, so im never gonna listen to this clown again. oh well, not like he was ever going to be famous anyways lol. shit beats = no album sales, if you can even get an album. talk to Nas about that shit bro.

      Reply

      1. I love Joey, his flow, delivery and content is on point but his beat selection is just horrible, I don’t know what sound they’re trying to go for, it’s like they’re trying to sound old/classic but blend it into something fresh as well… shit is all over the place trying to be jazz and shit and I can’t get a taste for whatever that shit is, which is a shame because Joey has the potential of Kendrick Lamar with his lyricism.

    65. MF Doom really birthed his style. listen to Joeys verse on satellite its borderline biting. His production choice isn’t as bad as some of yall are making it seem though. It does start to sound a bit repetitive after a while honestly. Im surprised premo made Unorthodox kinda disappointed, I feel like premo could of done better.Overall I like joey, he has actual talent you cant deny that. But he can only drop so many tapes with this production without all his music sounding the same to me and im a big fan of the 90s era. But this production is way below illmatic, reasonable doubt and borderlines on boring at times. 95 til infinity, Trap Door, Word is Bond and Long Live Steelo earned a spot on my itunes, the other tracks I can do without.

    71. There must be some little kids posting comments. The beats are nice. Joey’s flow is always on point. The Alchemist joint, Trap Door, is crazy. That’s some vintage Alchemist right there.

    73. Honestly the best emcee out there. No bubble gum beats, raw hip hop. The kids dope, better than J.Cole in my books!
