Joey Bada$$ has announced plans to release his highly anticipated next album before the end of the summer.
Speaking on Uproxx‘s Sound Check, the New Yorker set out the plans to capitalize on his recent attention.
Joey said: “The goal is to get the album out before August 30.”
In recent times, Joey has been causing waves by going at Kendrick Lamar as he declares war on the West Coast, releasing several tracks aimed at Dot, Rey Vaughn and Daylyt.
On “Crash Dummy”, Joey taunted that Kendrick was afraid of battling him, rapping: “Thank you for making it clear that Dot scared, but yeah / I was at the party, but I also saw Top there.”
Joey took his most blatant shots at Kendrick on previous diss track “My Town” where he spat: “I’m the real boogeyman, y’all n-ggas should be afraid / Get the general, I’m killing his troops.”
He later added: “Don’t make me Pulitzer, better be wise because / I’m dottin T’s and cross your eyes like Whitaker.”
On “The Finals”, Joey also rapped: “I salute you Kenny but I know you well aware / You lookin’ for some competition? Then just know that I’ll be right here.”
