Joey Bada$$ has solved the issue that barred him from releasing his third studio album, ‘2000’, last month, confirming now that he plans to drop the record before the end of July.According to the rapper’s updated Instagram bio, ‘2000’ will hit streaming services on July 22 via Pro Era / Cinematic.
It was initially due out on June 17, but Joey announced just hours before its planned launch that it would be held back over “sample clearance issues”.
To celebrate the news, Joey dropped a scorching new single from the record titled ‘Where I Belong’. Channeling the greats of ‘90s hip-hop in both the song’s energy and its accompanying music video, the track feels apt for the circumstances of its release.
