Joey Bada$$<\/a>‘s new album Lonely At The Top<\/a> has had a few days to marinate with fans and critics now. Overall, it seems like the consensus is that it was a pretty worthy effort from the Pro Era<\/a> titan. Some were expecting a bit more after the triumphant run through several West Coast MCs. <\/p>\n

That could potentially have to do with Joey’s approach to this project. “Made this album in under 6 months in the spirit of a mixtape. Really just wanted to get some raps off and feed the core, nothing more,” he wrote on\u00a0X<\/a> per Hypebeast.<\/a> He added in part, “Only 11 tracks because I believe in easy listens and projects that can be consumed in under 40 min.” <\/p>\n

But still listeners have found that there is a healthy dose of strong moments. For us, one of the best to our ears<\/a> is “BK’S FINEST.” A Brooklyn posse cut featuring underground heroes Rome Streetz, Kai Ca$h, and Joey’s affiliate CJ Fly<\/a>, all four MCs put on for their hometown. <\/p>\n

There’s a lot of understated confidence and swag on this chill boom bap produced cut by Statik Selektah<\/a>. It’s a nonchalant but venomous PSA that New York hip-hop is still the sh*t. It’s proven with all of their expertly written verses. Check it out below. <\/p>\n
