Joey Bada$$ Plots 2016 Domination With Two New LPs And Possible Dr. Dre Collab
BY Ralph Bristout / 3.24.2016
Joey Bada$$ was on to something last year when he chose “World Domination” as the title for his 2015 global tour.
Ever since that globetrotting adventure, the Pro Era captain has been making moves that reflect the reign-stretching title. As if the numerous college lectures or the fact that he’s set to star in season two of USA’s hit television series Mr. Robot weren’t already an indication, just bet on the music.
Within the past month, Joey’s teased a 2016 takeover through singles like “Ready” and “Brooklyn’s Own.” These happen to be only the tip of the iceberg however, because not just one, but two new albums are on his 2016 slate.
“I may just drop an album this summer. I may drop another in December,” Joey told DJ Snuff this week on the Heavy Hitters Shade 45 radio show. Revealing that he’s about “80 tracks” deep in his vault, the rapper also hinted at a possible collaboration with a certain Doctor from the Left Coast. “I heard we were supposed to be working with [Dr.] Dre soon, so I don’t want to fuck up the shits,” he revealed. “So hopefully you know what I am saying, I’ma put it out there just so it could be stronger.”
