About Joey Bada$$

Official Site: theproera.com | @joeybadass_

Joey Bada$$ is an 18-year old artist from Brooklyn, NY with a unique vision and perspective that seems to be going extinct in the modern musical landscape. A member of the burgeoning hip hop collective Pro Era, Joey and his fellow crew of teenage visionaries are leading one of the most compelling cultural movements to come out of NYC today. Tapped as 2013’s Artist To Watch by MTV, Billboard, Shazam, eMusic, and selected for BET’s 2013 Music Matters program, Joey Bada$$ has established himself in a very small club of new talent.

Blessed with the Gift of Gab for as long as he’s been able to speak, Joey was discovered by music mogul Jonny Shipes on the web at the age of 15 freestyling in a video that left him in awe at his mature talent and natural shine. The young MC inked an innovative deal with Cinematic Music Group/Creative Control in 2012 and hit the world by storm with the video for his song “Survival Tactics” off his first project 1999. Within weeks, the initial hype surrounding the video amongst his circle of high school friends and neighborhood spread throughout NYC and beyond to the four corners of the planet.

Joey Bada$$ introduced his first mixtape 1999 on June 12th, 2012 and was immediately heralded as one of the most exciting up and coming artists in music. Garnering more than a healthy dose of attention from the media and from established artists and luminaries, a growing audience of fans eagerly subscribed to a more meaningful brand of hip hop put forth by himself and Pro Era. 1999 went on to earn a BET Hip Hop Award nomination catapulting Joey to national attention.

The Pro’s headlined New York’s Hot 97’s “Who’s Next” concert at SOB’s and also released the mixtape PEEP The aPROcalypse, further solidifying their progressive movement. Joey Bada$$ embarks on The Beast Coast Tour with Pro Era this year, and will release his debut album later in the 2013 bringing him one step closer to his objective: World domination.

Hailing from Gwinnett ‘DA NAWF’, BIG 4.1 emerges as a beacon of authenticity in the realm of hip-hop. With his latest track, “BIG SACK,” recently released and produced by the skilled Joe Peoples, BIG 4.1 delivers not just a song, but a mantra for financial empowerment and self-improvement. In a world obsessed with flaunting bags, BIG 4.1’s message cuts through the noise, urging listeners to focus on filling their “BIG SACK” with tangible wealth rather than mere appearances.

The song’s genesis stems from BIG 4.1’s desire to instill a culture of financial responsibility and foresight. Emphasizing the journey from a single $100 bill to a sizable nest egg, “BIG SACK” serves as a daily anthem for those striving to secure their futures. In an exclusive statement, BIG 4.1 explains his motivation: “It’s that time, it’s right on time for what’s going on and to teach our culture to save up that BIG SACK start at 20. By the time you’re 40 you can retire yourself if you do it right.” With lyrics that resonate beyond the beats, BIG 4.1 aims to spark a movement towards financial literacy and empowerment.

As BIG 4.1 gears up for his show in Anderson, South Carolina, alongside his team, the BOONDOCK KINGS, his mixtape “ME VS ME BAR-4-BAR THE MIXTAPE Vol 1” sets the stage for a musical revolution. Promising “HIP Rock” or “Kuntry Rap,” BIG 4.1 delivers an authentic sound that transcends genres, appealing to listeners from all walks of life. With originality and consistency as his guiding principles, BIG 4.1 stands out not just as an artist, but as a visionary ushering in a new era of meaningful music.
