Joey Bada$$ did also speak on his music plans for the year, suggesting that his focus for this year has shifted to “free, loose music” for fans. He also hinted at the possibility of releasing an album this summer and another album at the end of the year.
“I dropped my debut top of the year, last year…I feel like as an artist I’ve somewhat established myself in the game, but I feel like over the years I haven’t given my fans enough free, loose music,” he said. “So, that’s kind of my take on this year…I might just drop a project in the summer, man. I just might. I just might drop another one in December, man. I just might. I’m sitting on like 80 tracks.”
