It’s been a while since we heard from Joey Bada$$. He’s been busy appearing on Grown-ish and various other ventures. It’s been nearly five years since his last album and the 27-year-old returns on the scene with “The Rev3nge” and a video that finds him making his triumphant return in style.
1. NYGz–Ready? (prod. & cuts by DJ Premier)
Kanye West and The Game connect for the first time in years on “My Life Was Never Eazy.” Produced by Hit-Boy, DJ Premier, Mike Dean, Big Duke and Cash Jones, the two lament on their respective lives. Kanye talks about his present situation with Kim Kardashian and his children, which is certainly where the buzz is at for this song.
DJ Premier gives some insight on how The Notorious B.I.G. first introduced him Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch and their first collaboration together for The Lox’s sophomore album. Here’s how “Recognize” came together. Also included is DJ Scratch carving up the intro in a way we haven’t seen before.

DJ Premier tells the story of Fat Joe’s hip hop origins and how he ended up connecting with Joey Crack for the remix for “Sh*t Is Real.” Preemo explains how he bucked Joe’s idea of having production reflective of “gangster shit” moved to the traditional Preemo vibe that won over the D.I.T.C. rapper.
Papoose would like to send a reminder to everyone that he’s about this rapping and joins forces with Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Busta Rhymes and Remy Ma for the remix of “Thought I Was Gonna Stop” produced by none other than Timbaland. From Pap’s “December” EP.
2 Chainz continues to prove that he can hang with any rapper from any era as he rides shotgun with AZ on the Statik Selektah produced “Motorola Era.”
