The Audacity of Dope

Hip-hop is alive and well. Joey’s murdering everything he touches these days and “Christ Conscious” is no exception. Dope video too!

Watch out for B4DA$$ and Seattle homies: Joey’s performing at the Showbox on 10/10.

On this week’s SNSS, we ran new tracks from The Game, G-Unit, P Reign, Logic, Lecrae, Melat, Diggs Duke, Cam’ron, Snakehips, BANKS, Friend Within, Sinead Harnett, Lupe Fiasco, Common, and more.  On top of the good music, Joey Bada$$ called in to talk about his upcoming album, B4DA$$, and Bas also checked in to discuss his Last Winter project and being signed to J. Cole’s Dreamville Interscope imprint.  Shout to our longtime Atlanta homey Art By Odell for hanging with us in studio while he’s in Seattle for this weekend’s Bumbershoot Festival as well!

Enjoy the show…

J. Moore and I recently had a chance to chop it up with Joey Bada$$ and the Pro Era crew at the Sound Session studio.  We touched on a bunch of topics, including how they originally came together,; how they were put on to golden hip-hop by their families, their ambitions outside of hip-hop, and what life is like on tour with the whole crew.  We also discussed their upcoming projects, including solos from Joey and CJ Fly, and they spoke on how artists like Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, and the TDE camp are inspiring them as artists and businessmen.

I’m hoping more younger cats in the game follow the same general path as Pro Era.  There’s just something naturally ill about that classic boom-bap sound, and as long as artists are being genuine and providing their own twist on it, I’ll never get tired of hearing it.

Shout to Statik Selektah and Jake One for coming through as well, plus the Detooz Films homies for filming!

New music on this week’s SNSS from artists like Smoke DZA, Roc Marciano, Troy Ave, Bambu, Jhene Aiko, Black Milk, Robin Thicke, Astro, Danny Brown, The Foreign Exchange, and more.  Plus, we were joined live in studio by our homies Brainstorm (of Dyme Def) and Carl Roe.  Be sure to check out Brain’s new solo album, The Celestine Prophecy 2, right here!

Shout as well to Joey Badass, the whole Pro Era crew, Diplo, and the Major Lazer crew for linking up with us for interviews this week as well.  Be on the lookout for those clips soon!
