BJ The Chicago Kid ft. Joey Bada$$- “Nothing But Love” (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
"BJ The Chicago Kid unveiled the clip for "Nothin' But Love" today. The beat, with its twinkly keys and easy drums, evokes the '90s hip-hop that the guest MC Joey Bada$$ holds dear. Though the mixtape version of the song featured Hannibal Buress, he doesn't appear in the video. Look for BJ's album In My Mind early in 2016." - TheFader

JOEY BADA$$ – “B4.DA.$$” (Full Album Stream) via @lisafordblog
Joey Bada$$ dropped his new album, "B4.Da.$$" this week and the hip hop world couldn't be more happier. The record came out on January 20, 2015 (his 20th birthday) via Cinematic Music Group / Pro Era. The Boston Globe writes, "Listening to this remarkably assured and versatile debut, it’s hard to believe that Brooklyn, N.Y., native Joey Bada$$ is a mere 19. Possessing skills far beyond his years, the rapper makes a leap from his mixtapes with verses evoking many of the New York MCs…

Joey BadA$$ – Trap Door [Prod. By Alchemist] #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
Happy New Year!! Let's kick things off with a throwback from an artist whom I believe deserve some all around praise for being a hardcore new-schooler...JOEY BADA$$. Every song Joey releases is on point and dope. The beat is f*cking unreal. I still don't get how Alchemist doesn't come up when we talk about the greatest producers of all time. And I really think more underground artists like Joey need to be recognized and underground music should be given more attention by the public eye,…

ASTRO – “Didnt Know [Starvin Like Marvin For A Cool J Song]” #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
In "Didn't Know", ASTRO reminisces about his life before his fame and explains his childhood with a ridiculously good flow. It's a genuine great rap song, one that is a pure representation of East Coast hip hop, a story being told with no cursing. "Didn't Know" has that Brooklyn sound I've missed, this is what Jay Z use to be, a young dude spitting some real sh*t. You might remember Astro from the XFactor about 3 years back. He's come a long way and has…

PRO ERA – “Sol Luna” ft. Joey Bada$$, Dyemond Lewis & A La $ole (AUDIO) @LISAFORDBLOG’s IPod Pick
If PRO ERA's "Sol Luna" isn't already on your IPod, and you're a so-called Hip Hop purist, then I don't know what to say. It was released damn near a year ago on their "Secc$ Tap.e pt.2" mixtape and it represents 80's & 90's era Hip Hop. This shit is straight fire fam, authentic and smooth. Joey Bada$$ laces the track and the whole sound reminds me of A Tribe Called Quest. Props to the producer. Pro Era is bringing New York back for real!

JOEY BADA$$ – “Big Dusty” (Music Video) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
I consider young Joey Bada$$ one of the leaders of the new school because he's dropping classics straight out the gate and releasing music that his ahead of his time. If you listen to his delivery on hits like this one, "Big Dusty", and "95 til infinity", you'll see that Joey has a deep understanding of hip hop music history with an ear to develop quality songs at the right time of the hip hop cycle...aka publishing songs that's countering a lot of the pop…
