Key Takeaways:

- With “DARK AURA” and “ABK,” Joey is constructing momentum forward of his Aug. 29 album launch.
Joey Bada$$ is again with vengeance. On Monday (Aug. 18) morning, he fired off at main labels on his newest single, “DARK AURA.”
Over Chuck Strangers’ manufacturing, the Brooklyn rapper dishes out traces like, “You ain’t talkin’ cash, you have to be talkin’ a distinct language / Unbiased mindset, we ain’t f**kin’ with the majors / Cannot get again our time spent, gotta deal with it prefer it’s sacred.”
Joey would possibly’ve simply been talking basically phrases on the monitor, however it’s most likely no coincidence given his current frustration with Columbia Data. In July, he accused them of delaying his forthcoming album, Lonely At The Prime, which was initially set to drop on Aug. 1. Try the music video for “DARK AURA” beneath.
“I’ma simply rip the Band-Support off,” Joey informed followers in a since-deleted video. “The album will not be dropping Aug. 1. I’m f**king sorry. I’m ashamed, I’m f**king disillusioned. I needed to take accountability and accountability as a result of I’m not ever gon’ go away y’all excessive and dry.”
In that very same clip, the 1999 artist revealed that he simply hasn’t been “f**king with” Columbia Data for some time now: “They actually don’t f**king contribute to nothing, particularly this yr.” At one level, Joey even advised he’d leak Lonely At The Prime on YouTube.
Joey’s forthcoming challenge — which is now slated for an Aug. 29 launch — has loads of momentum already, particularly after he is gone bar-for-bar with West Coast rappers like Ray Vaughn and AZ Chike. Plus, the Professional Period frontman gave followers a style of the album by performing its lead single “ABK” on “Jimmy Kimmel Reside!”
Exterior of music, the rapper welcomed his first little one with Serayah in Could. Throughout the actress’ two-month postpartum replace, she confirmed that they had been engaged. “My fiancé has held it down, you hear me! By way of and thru, that’s a superb man, Savannah,” she wrote.
