Joey Bada$$ In The Studio With Pete Rock

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Beatgod Pete Rock cued up some of his trademark creations for young gun Joey Bada$$ in this studio session captured on video by Creative Control/Cinematic TV. We like what we here at least judging by the ambient audio--much crispier than you'd normally expect from a viral vid of this sort. Judging by Pete's expression he does too when Joey starts ad-libbing, writing and editing some rhymes in-camera, so to speak. It's all tied into Joey's Ecko Unlimited mixtape project, which so far has yielded only good things (catch the video for "Underground Airplay" featuring Big K.R.I.T. and Smoke DZAover here and after you watch below check a similar studio session with DJ Premier over here). Of course while you wait for these sessions to yield more fruit, you can catch young Joey and his Pro Era crew in the streets, via their Beast Coast tour dates with Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers.
