Bada$$ reveals 2000, the long-awaited sequel to his sensational 2012 mixtape 1999. A lot of time has elapsed since then, and yet, Joey Bada$$ proves he’s just as sharp as he was when he first stepped into the rap game. Like on 1999, Bada$$ links up with longtime collaborators Statik Selektah, Kirk Knight, and DJ Premier. Cardo joint and Mike WiLL Made-It fill out the producer’s bullpen and together, Bada$$ and crew recreate the classic hip-hop vibe. They pull samples from jazz, soul, and R&B records, overlay a Boom Bap style drumbeat, and place the listener’s attention on the rapper’s lyrical dexterity. With smart social commentary and laidback instruments, his style harkens back to the golden age of hip hop, following in a venerable lineage of New York City rappers like Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay-Z, and Nas. Bada$$ carries the torch of the NYC sound that defines east coast rap.
