B4.DA. $$ is the title of Joey Bada$$' official debut album.
At school he and his Progressive era crew friends engaged in happy music making. In 2012 furore surrounded the video clip of Survival Tactics, featuring Bada$$ and Capital Steez.
DJ Premier, MF Doom and Q tip wanted to work with the old school adept who loves Jay D, Biggie, Nas and A Tribe called Quest.
The young New York mc(1995) goes back to the hip hop of the nineties and its positive rhymes. Joey Bada$$ prefers traditional hip hop, the music which is not (yet)coloured by money. He believes music should have a meaning. Bada$$ sees it as a philosophy to be used for positive ends and keeps on producing music for himself in the first place. No one can object to this kind of intrinsic motivation.
