“rebirth” at 25 could very easily come across as being a bit premature — but then again Joey Bada$$ has always seemed wise beyond his years.

This is an artist, after all, who first burst onto the scene in 2012 aged just 17 with his ‘1999’ mixtape: an exuberant and exhilarating release that not only showcased the Pro Era rapper’s proficiency as a technical MC, but also demonstrated his crate-deep knowledge of his native New York’s hip-hop heritage. “Resurrecting boom-bap from the tombs,” as he put it on ‘1999’’s ‘FromdaTomb’.2017’s ‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$’, though, saw Bada$$ widen his sonic palette a little by taking on a more politically conscious slant.
