Joey Bada$$ hooked up with Karmaloop TV’s Carissa Rossi at the Under the Influence of Music tour recently for a chat. Ahead of some extensive touring the 18-year-old Pro Era rapper gets into a range of topics but first confuses Rossi by announcing he is now known as Bada$$ Joey (or the “East Coast General”). He also confirms there’s potential for him to release more reggae-influenced tracks and expands on his decidedly ’90s style. Watch the full interview above.
