Joey Bada$$ has announced plans to release his highly anticipated next album before the end of the summer.
Speaking on Uproxx‘s Sound Check, the New Yorker set out the plans to capitalize on his recent attention.
Joey said: “The goal is to get the album out before August 30.”
In recent times, Joey has been causing waves by going at Kendrick Lamar as he declares war on the West Coast, releasing several tracks aimed at Dot, Rey Vaughn and Daylyt.
On “Crash Dummy”, Joey taunted that Kendrick was afraid of battling him, rapping: “Thank you for making it clear that Dot scared, but yeah / I was at the party, but I also saw Top there.”

Joey took his most blatant shots at Kendrick on previous diss track “My Town” where he spat: “I’m the real boogeyman, y’all n-ggas should be afraid / Get the general, I’m killing his troops.”
He later added: “Don’t make me Pulitzer, better be wise because / I’m dottin T’s and cross your eyes like Whitaker.”
On “The Finals”, Joey also rapped: “I salute you Kenny but I know you well aware / You lookin’ for some competition? Then just know that I’ll be right here.”
The track, which is mainly aimed at Vaughn, also includes bars such as: “The way you let Dot dick sit in your mouth / This that same dick linkin’ I was talkin’ about / You n-ggas would do anything for the clout / Crash out over n-ggas who won’t even let you in they house / I bet you ain’t even got his number/It’s funny how the thirst is bein’ disguised as hunger.”

Joey originally declared war on the West Coast with “The Ruler’s Back” which he dropped in January.
On the song, he rapped: “Too much West Coast dick lickin’ / I’m hearing n-ggas throwin’ rocks, really ain’t shit stickin’ / ‘Cause if we’re talking bar for bar, really it’s slim pickings / I rap like I draw pentagrams and kill chickens, n-gga / Fuck around with your soul like Ether, quick for a feature / This that black Air Force energy comin’ out your speaker.”
Kendrick is yet to respond to Joey’s many shots.
