Joey Bada$$ shares new single ‘The Rev3nge'

Joey Bada$$ has started the New Year on the front foot with his new single, ‘The Rev3nge’.

The rapper hasn’t released an album since 2017’s All-Amerikkkan Badass, and it feels good to have him back. Over the past five years since we last heard him on the microphone, Joey has diverted to the realm of acting with roles on Mr Robot and Grown-ish, but now he’s returned to his first love.

On the first verse, he announces his return and promises to be “back and I’m badder than ever before”. He then adds, “Heard they was sleepin’ again, say it no more, This is a rude awakenin’, kick in the door, Back and I’m better than ever before, Don’t get it mistaken, I’m ready for war, I see the opps and I’m uppin’ the score, I catch a body, then jump in the Porsche.”

The new track by the Brooklyn favourite arrives alongside a video produced by Brien Justiniano and directed by child. Bada$$ can be seen driving through the night while smoking a cigarette before arriving in a church surrounded by disciples.

A few weeks ago, the rapper told fans that his long-awaited third album is finally “dropping this year for sure”. During an Instagram Live, he said, “I ain’t gonna say exactly when though cause there’s certain rappers who be on my heels. So imma just — it’s coming though.”
