Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

I didn’t really enjoy Joey’s first album that much. This one however is good. Lyrically he’s pretty good, and the beats are good too. I liked most songs here, especially “Rockabye Baby” featuring Schoolboy Q. The album is basically about race relations in America…..you know how Black America is today. It’s a political rap album. Its fairly well executed but there’s little here I felt was mind blowing. Its nice to see he’s getting better however. It’s also nice to see he’s talking about relevant things. #Joeyisrappingbetterthantraprappers lol. Verdict: 8.8

Joey Bada$$ is a NY rapper with a classic sound. The production is really really good. His lyrics aren’t bad but their not above a 8/10. The songs blend together quite well. Some however sounded too similar. Joey is a good rapper but I think this debut screams that it needs more guest rappers. Run Up On Ya with Action Bronson and Elle Varner is the best song imo.This is a debut however. He’s going to be a force in the East Coast going forward. The Verdict 8.25/10
