Biografía de Joey Bada$$

Joey Bada$$, born Jo Vaughn Virginie Scott on January 20th 1995 is an American hip hop recording artist from New York in America.

Joey's musical career started off like many stars nowadays, on YouTube. He uploaded a video of himself free styling. This subsequently went on to the video being re-posted on to American hip hop site World Star Hip Hop which then led Joey to be noticed in the hip hop world.

From this, Joey went on to become the co-founder of the hip-hop collective Pro Era, with whom he released three mix tapes. Then in 2012 Joey released his debut solo mix tape, named, "1999". The release was highly successful and following this, a video for one of the songs on the mix tape, "Waves" was released in June that year. Impressively, the mixtape immediately increased the New York born's popularity in the underground hip hop scene and led him to embark on his own tour.

Additionally, Joey went on to release a track with hip hop artist Ab-Soul titled "Enter the Void" along with "Waves". These songs were his first official releases to retail.

In 2013 Joey later appeared alongside his Pro Era crew in the opening act on highly regarded legends, Wiz Khalifa and ASAP Rocky's 2013 summer "Under The Influence Tour."

Joey Bada$$ is leading a movement that comes with a certain aesthetic and has garnered a strong following within a matter of two years. His shows, before the brink of his major success that is surely on its way, are intimate and oddly organic. They are organic considering his inspiration from hip-hop's past, specifically the 90s era. In 2012 he released his debut mixtape, 1999 and Summer Knights in 2013, which were both were well received by hip-hop enthusiasts alike. Joey will soon be releasong his debut studio album, 'B4.DA.$$' later in 2014.
In 2013, Atlanta held it’s 4th Annual One Music Festival at the Old Fourth Ward Park to an ecstatic crowd out to enjoy the festivities. Upon entering the gates, they were pre-occupied with food trucks and vendors on the open terrain. Amongst the performances of a stellar lineup including Snoop Dogg as the headliner, Erykah Badu, CeeLo Green and Goodie Mob, was Pro Era’s Joey Bada$$. Joey had accumulated a large audience around the time he was scheduled to perform earlier in the day. Joey performed a number of songs from his 1999 and SummerKnights mixtapes including, “Waves,” “World Domination,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “95 Til Infinity.” Long time DJ and producer DJ Statik Selektah aided Joey on the turntables and Pro Era member Kirk Knight accompanied him on stage. The 90’s essence was prevalent in their style and sound. For those unfamiliar with the Pro Era movement, their nostalgic sound mirrors the epitome of what hip hop sounded like in the “Golden Age” and perhaps that’s what is so captivating about Pro Era. That old feeling is what keeps his fans satisfied and for some reason, it’s being heard with a new refreshing ear.
Spitting like a veteran in the music industry, Joey gave the crowd his all through his advanced lyrical ability and energetic stage presence. He brought New York to the South and the way that the crowd vibed with him was a clear indication that he was well welcomed.
