Joey Bada$$ is repping for the borough that raised him on the Statik Selektah-produced “Brooklyn’s Own.” This laidback, jazzy tune will throw people off, as some were undoubtedly expecting the next Bada$$ record to address Troy Ave’s recent diss. Instead, Joey lyrically focuses on survival, love of BK, and incorporating a chorus that flips the Mary Jane Girls’ “All Night Long.” Is it just me, or do the melodic portions of his flow reminiscent of early Pharcyde?
