The album drops Tuesday 01/20/2015... but it has leaked as of Thursday 01/15/2014.

What a GREAT fuckin album!! Of the 17 tracks, I don't care for 2 of them...

12. Escape 120 (feat. Raury) = Ehhh... not my taste at all.
17. Teach Me (feat. Kiesza) = Doesn't fit the album at all and I just don't care for it. Good for daytime Pop radio I guess? haha

My favorite joints...

03. Paper Trail$ (Prod. by DJ Premier)
04. Piece Of Mind (Prod. by Freddie Joachim)
05. Big Dusty (Prod. by Kirk Knight)
06. Hazeus View (Prod. by Kirk Knight)
07. Like Me feat. BJ The Chicago Kid (Prod. by J Dilla & The Roots)

So whatever happened to the Pete Rock produced joint????????

I removed the two tracks I didn't like and added the two Joey joints from Statik Selektah's album from a few months ago. Here's my burned CD version for the car...

can't stand when he does the raspy voice flow. album isn't bad, but isn't great. mediocre/underwhelming based on his potential

everything I've heard of his has been ok but generally pretty forgettable.

and 1999 wasn't great either

1999 and this new are those kind of albums you can listen front to back without skipping anything, but you don't really want to put the album on

The first thing I heard was Survival Tactics and I was genuinely pretty excited.

Nothing since then that I've liked as much (or at all, thinking about it)

what do you guys think of this track?
Adam Dollar$ - Spark It Off

uses the same beat as "Christ Conscious" but some of it is sequenced differently.

Joey's B4.DA.$$ debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, #1 on the Indie chart, #1 on the Rap chart, and #1 on the R&B/Rap chart
Sold something like 55,000 units in its first week - pretty awesome by today's standards. Good news.
