Joey Bada$$ Heads To SoHo

Brooklyn emcee Joey Bada$$ took to New York City streets atop a double decker bus last week to premiere a new video for the single, “Devastated." This week, he headed to SoHo alongside Pro Era's Kirk Knight, Nyck Caution, and CJ Fly to take over the new Adidas Originals store on Spring Street for its opening, then made his way to the old store on Wooster Street for a performance to celebrate the location's closing. 

At the new store, Joey made time to talk to his fans while his fellow Pro Era members juggled questions on a panel. Later that night, Joey and Pro Era took the stage at the old Adidas Originals store to perform a medley of fan favorites and ended the set with a memorable rendition of "Devastated."

On Wednesday, August 17, Joey held a private screening of the new episode of Mr. Robot, the critically acclaimed show, which stars Joey as “Leon," the new best friend of main character Elliot Alderson. Joined by friends and family for the screening, the episode held special significance for Joey as his character initiated the largest plot twist of the season. With Leon becoming one of the more important characters on the show, Joey sat down with GQ to discuss the twist, as well as give readers a peak inside Leon's mind. Joey was also nominated for the BMI Social Star award this week, and voting continues through August 28th.
