    Joey Bada$$ easily has one of the most slept on albums of 2015. This is legendary.

      Definitely! I miss that vibe... Nowaday's rap is all about trap beats and uugaabuuga shit...

    Did anyone realize that at the beginning, joey trades in his nikes (the nike box) and at the end he opens the nike box up and there is a microphone. Relating to his line from Daily Routine "Traded in my Nikes for a new mic, i guess its safe to say he sold his sole(soul) for his new life.". Joey is a god damn genius.
