It’s been a year since B4.DA.$$ released and Joey season is back folks as he demonstrates how “Ready” he is on this new track which premiered on Ebro’s Beats 1 radio show on Monday evening.

According to Ebro, the album is expected to drop around the 4th quarter of 2016 – meanwhile, Joey is also a guest lecturer at several universities, already having visited NYU on February 19 and moving on to Harvard sometime this week.

The light heartened and modern production of frequent collaborator Statik Selektah assists in Joey’s braggadocious flow as he references recent incidents such as the occurrence outside the Yeezy Season 3 Fashion Show in Madison Square Garden where he got into a scuffle with a journalist. He also says a bit about Jay-Z having respect for Joey and how he does not regret not signing to Roc Nation as he opted to be an independent artist – similarly to Chance The Rapper.

Tell me why they hating, its cause of what I’m making

And if you a little patient its gon’ be what I’m taking

They got me mistaken

Critics try to box me

I feel like Rocky when it come to paparazzi

This production style differs from what listeners have seen on his debut album, which I find interesting because by the time the next album releases, it will have been just under two years and to find a different sound during that period is impressive and really shows how Joey has and can evolve as an artist to constantly keep putting out better work. I am really looking forward to what Joey will have to offer and I’m sure it will be a highly anticipated album.
