Joey Bada$$ was on Instagram live sipping on white wine with his boys. Here are some of the main points that he talked about.
Collaborations
Joey said a bunch of collaborations were recorded or are in the works. Some notable artists include:
Logic, pretty obvious since they went on a tour together
Vince Staples
Dave East
XXXTentacion (he said X)
J.I.D
Goldlink
Jorja Smith
Little Simz
Skepta
Chuck Strangers (mixtape)
A$AP Ferg
MF Doom
Additionally, he said he will probably work with Isaiah Rashad soon, and that he was supposed to be on "Park". He said he took too long to send his verse.
Interesting Details
1) At Coachella in 2016, Joey met Kanye for the first time. Kanye told him that he inspired him to make "Real Friends".
"Why didn't you put me on that shit then n***a (laughing)"
2) Shouted out Jaden Smith, Brockhampton, Casanova, Joyner Lucas, Young M.A, Trippie Redd, Takeoff ("Takeoff finna takeoff this year")
3) Sza played "All the Stars", her new song with Kendrick, for him first. "She fronted on me that's all good though." He's hinting that maybe he was suppose to be on the track initially.
4) Joey joked about having a project with Kendrick. "What if I told you Kendrick and I had a whole tape together?". He then went on to say he heard a song or two from the Kendrick X J. Cole album. This is a pretty big deal since the Kendrick and J. Cole album has been rumored for years, but has never come to fruition.
No mention of King Capital.
Summary
Joey has songs with numerous notable artists ready to be released. "I've got music for the next 5 years. It's all about timing."

This is pretty gangster, cuz Park was a song Isaiah snapped on, so I'm bummed Joey wasn't on it if that wasn't the plan... That said, Kendrick x Cole tape??? That's hype. He say if he likes it or not -- anything like that?
I think he said he liked the song or two he heard. He didn't go into much detail about it.
Super interesting Dom! So as someone who doesn't know much about the rap community, I'm curious: is this pretty detrimental that he's spilling the news on these upcoming songs/albums? I know some are just rumors but how bad is it that he's talking about it? Or is it more just positive publicity?
Most of it is fine since they are his tracks. He is featured on a few so that is probably not as good. Overall, it isn't a huge problem.
Really interesting. I haven't listened to much of him. I am more of a Kendrick guy. I'll give him a listen soon
Yeah are you excited about the J. Cole and Kendrick album that is in the works?
This is super interesting! I wonder if he let the stuff slip accidentally or if it was dropped on purpose for a marketing technique.
Probably marketing honestly
lol good shit
Haha thanks!
