unofficial import, sealed and on black vinyl - Joey Bada$$'s '1999' garnered a ludicrous amount of attention for an independent release from a relatively unknown kid from New York last year. Getting praise from Pitchfork as well as from Complex Magazine who ranked it their 38th best release of 2012, it's safe to say Joey struck gold with his first release. While it was highly praised, it also had its critics who claim that he was stuck in the wrong era of rap, his flow never really changes and many songs sound similar to each other. While these are true in their eyes, you can't say that it isn't a breath of fresh air for mainstream rap where trap-rap and electro-experimental rap are seeing their rise. What Summer Knights brings to the table is exactly what 1999 brought last year, and that isn't a bad thing at all.
