June: 8 urban releases you need to hear this month
Joey Bada$$, Niaa, Rejjie Snow and more
Joey Bada$$ feat Schoolboy Q 'Rockabye Baby' (Pro Era Records)
Ahead of his second album, ‘All-Amerikkkan Badass’, Joey drops some real hip hop shit. And if you miss those days this high-quality collaboration with Schoolboy Q is a much-needed return to a time when it seemed like people had something to say. This, with its mad wordplay and flows just made to be admired, is rap you want to listen to. American teenagers will be especially grateful it exists – turn it up and lose it.
