With two turn tables and a mic, DJ Evil Dee rounds Talib Kweli, Joey Bada$$ and a few of Duck Down’s familiar faces for a 10-minute cypher. Pay attention. nr
Yesterday, Joey Bada$$ helped bring Toronto’s NXNE festival to a close and premiered a MF Doom-produced track off his Summer Knights EP dropping on July 1st. Here’s what Walder caught on film.
Joey’s Summer Knights has transformed from an EP to a free digital LP. Initially scheduled for tomorrow, it will now be released July 1 and makes up for the delay with an introspective cut. 9-5 muthafucker.
Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era keep Capital STEEZ’s memory alive in their brand new video. “Capitalizing the name “Capital STEEZ” is now as good as remembering any credible historic leader leading a militant army of troops. “Like Water” is the visual stepping stone to what STEEZ led for the listeners of revolutionary music.”
Joey Bada$$ puts his true words all over a Statik Selektah beat for the first release off his upcoming Summer Knights EP on June 12.
School days become just one course of full of smoke in Joey and the crew’s new video. Don’t be late. Off their mixtape, PEEP: The Aprocalypse, available here.

Really enjoyed the global vibe of this post and the way the artists highlight the beauty of exploring different cultures and destinations. Music like this reminds people that travel is more than just movement, it is about experiences and memories. Watching scenes from iconic places makes me dream about future trips, especially visiting safari lodges serengeti where nature and adventure come together in a truly unforgettable way.
