IDK And Joey Badass Fire Off Nothing But Pristine East Coast Raps In A Preview Of Their New Collab, ‘Denim’

It seems that in 2024, there will be plenty of rappers on the comeback trail. Add to their number IDK and Joey Badass, who are both looking to follow-up well-received projects in F65 and 2000, respectively. As they both appear to have new albums on the way, it only makes sense for them to team up, which they do on “Denim,” a new single coming out this Friday, March 29. To generate some buzz, they hit up the respected freestyle rap outlet From The Block to perform their song before the New York City skyline overlooking the Hudson River.

When last we heard from IDK, he was promoting songs from both the soundtrack to the Apple TV original series Swagger (“Win“) and his fourth studio album, F65. He had also recently collected accolades for his collaborative EP with Kaytranada, Simple, and performing at Coachella last spring.

Joey Badass, meanwhile, garnered attention for more personal dealings, including his burgeoning relationship with actress Serayah. Although he didn’t put out much new music in 2023, he did deliver a swan song for his Power character, Unique, who met an inevitable demise that nonetheless surprised Joey himself. This year, he’s released two tracks: “Fallout” with Lyrical Lemonade, Lil Yachty, and Gus Dapperton, and “Passports & Suitcases” with Kaycyy.

Watch IDK and Joey Badass perform “Denim” above and check out the track in full on Friday.

Serayah Crying Footage Has Joey Badass Putting “TMZ” On Blast

After seeing a video of Serayah and her boo, Joey Badass, getting in their feelings during a stroll through Los Angeles earlier this week, some began to worry about the status of the pair’s beloved relationship. Thankfully, the “Love Is Only a Feeling” artist once again won the world over when he wrapped his arms around his girl in a sweet embrace amid her sobbing. Rather than simply leave it at that, he’s also addressing the situation on Instagram to clear up any concerns from social media sleuths.

On Tuesday (March 12), Badass’ Instagram lit up with a new photo dump of him and Serayah dressed to the nines. We’ve seen plenty of them killing it on red carpets and at Fashion Week events over the past few months, but this might be one of their best collaborations yet. While the multi-talent looked dapper as ever in a black suit with simple but elegant gold accessories, his date was shining bright like a diamond. The top half of her dress was covered in silver gems, resembling a seashell, while the feathers around the bottom only helped to enhance her curves.

In his caption, Badass wrote, “People all in our business they don’t even know the facts, they don’t see the s**t we witness only what the cameras catch ♟✍🏽🖤,” crediting @swurv3 for capturing photos. Clearly, the 29-year-old’s pen game is just as strong as ever, and it doesn’t look like he’ll be back on the market anytime soon.

Now that we know Joey Badass and Serayah’s relationship is still going strong, the couple’s supporters are wondering what’s next for each of them. Back in January, the rapper-turned-actor said goodbye to his character on 50 Cent’s Raising Kanan, meanwhile, his lover showed off her vocal skills with a seven-track EP last summer called Flutter. Where do you hope to see the couple investing their energy next? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Serayah & Joey Badass Video: Actress Cries Amid Couple’s Spat Before Her Man Consoles Her

Now that spring and Hot Girl Summer are right around the corner, we’ve seen a notable increase in the number of celebrity breakups unfolding across the industry. Rick Ross and Christina Mackey made headlines earlier this month as she confirmed the end of their short-lived relationship. Meanwhile, internet sleuths are currently wondering if Serayah and Joey Badass are ready to call it quits too. The pair were wit with speculation of a split at the end of 2023, but Serayah promptly shut those rumours down after she was out and about with another man.

When they stepped out for the 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards last week, the lovers looked as suave as ever. Their golden looks were beautifully coordinated, both of them boasting glowy skin and freshly styled hair. However, it seems trouble might be afoot as an emotional argument of theirs was captured on camera and is now making rounds online. In the clip, the entertainers let out some frustrations, with Serayah even shedding tears and sobbing over the situation.

Seeing partners fight is always uncomfortable, but still, fans were happy to see the “Love Is Only a Feeling” hitmaker console his other half while she was in her feelings. As The Shade Room notes, the moment took place during a morning stroll through Los Angeles, with both Joey and Serayah donning casual monochromatic outfits before stepping out together.

We’re hoping for the best with Serayah and Joey Badass as they navigate this emotional time in their relationship. Since we can’t share the paparazzi footage of their fight directly on HNHH, you can see it yourself at the first Via below.

Conway The Machine & Joey Bada$$ Go The Distance On “Vertino”

It seems like Conway the Machine always has a new track, EP, or album out every Friday. To some that can be very annoying. The reason why is because his voice and messages in his songs can get stale very quick. However, the Buffalo native always finds a way to keep things interesting even with the frequent release pace. That can be said about Conway the Machine’s brand-new single “Vertino.”

He grabs Joey Bada$$ for this one and both sound great over this dark boom-bap instrumental. The beat is not anything we have not heard Conway on before. But, it just sounds good. Especially at the very end when the grimy guitar loop rolls in. Both New Yorkers rap extensive verses while Joey handles the chorus.

This is the second single that will eventually be on Conway’s upcoming project WON’T HE DO IT: Side B. Of course, this is a sequel of sorts to one of his many 2023 releases, WON’T HE DO IT. We got our first taste of it a couple of weeks ago with the song “Give & Give” with production credits from Cool & Dre. That was paired with another track “Mutty,” in a two for one situation.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Vertino,” by Conway the Machine and Joey Bada$$? Does this song get you excited for Conway’s upcoming record WON’T HE DO IT: Side B, why or why not? Is this the better of the two tracks to be on the project?

Quotable Lyrics:

This the same dope I’m dishin’ out, just on a different scale
Let me break it down if you don’t see the vicious steel
You see I got them hooked on the real
I bossed up in and went to Columbia for the deal
Like f*** the “pop a pill” s***, this that pure raw they wanna feel
Scarcity in the market, now I’m spendin’ the margin

Denzel Curry Comes To Joey Badass’ Defense After Fans Dislike New Snippet

Earlier this week, Joey Badass took to Instagram to share a new snippet of music with fans. But the track had a very different feel than what many are expecting when he drops new music. It followed in the footsteps of his song “Fallin’” last year which took his sound in a more R&B-influenced direction. The new preview sounds similar even making use of electronic vocal effects and auto-tune over Joey’s singing. But fans expecting more straightforward rap music flooded the comments with their opinions.

In response to the negative reaction, Denzel Curry came to Joey’s defense. The two have crossed paths musically before, teaming up for the fan-favorite “Zenith,” a standout cut from Curry’s 2016 album Imperial. Curry took to Twitter to stand up for Joey’s right to expand his range artistically. “I Support my brother Joey Bada$$ new Art and you shouldn’t hold people back for trying new things if you like 1999 then go listen to 1999 it’s on streaming platforms,” his tweet reads. Even then some fans still tried to come into the comments dissing Joey’s new output though some of the most popular replies are in support of both artists. Check out the full tweet and fan reactions to it below.

Last month, Joey Badass also had to weather some breakup rumors. He and girlfriend Serayah were rumored to be over when she was spotted by cameras hitting the town with somebody else. But once all the smoke cleared that somebody proved to be a musical collaborator and she took to social media to confirm she was very much still committed to Joey.

Denzel Curry spent the second half of 2023 keeping his hot streak of bangers alive. He shared new tracks like “SKED” and “WOO” with PlayThatBoiZay and Chief Pound that had fans pouring out praise. What do you think of Denzel Curry’s response to those hating on Joey Badass’ new song? Let us know in the comment section below.

Joey Bada$$ Teases Song With KayCyy Dropping Soon, Fans Are Not Loving It, Rapper Responds

Joey Bada$$ will always be one of those artists that so many people want to hear from. That is because he is a top-tier writer, picks great beats, and brings so much passion to what he creates. Additionally, he is always trying new things. That can be a double-edged sword for a lot of people, however. Change can be a scary thing, even for the artist. But, Joey is embracing that challenge with his upcoming single. Yes, the 28-year-old is finally coming out with some new solo material.

According to numerous sources, including AllHipHop, Joey is teaming up with the very underrated KayCyy for “Passports & Suitcases.” It is coming this Friday, January 19, coincidentally one day before the New York spitter’s birthday. He teased the song and it found him going in his melodic bag. This is not something entirely out of the blue, but he is using more auto-tune on it. While it sounds like a vibe, fans are on the fence about it.

Joey Bada$$ Is Sticking To His Guns

A majority of Joey’s fans are hardcore hip-hop heads and they despise when he strays away from that. One person writes, “Yeah but auto-tune is always going to be s*** no matter how old you get.” Another goes, “[The f***] is happening!? Where [the f***] is Joey?! Where’s the Hip-Hop?” Joey Bada$$ saw all of the negativity and nicely put down the haters. “Feels good to be allowed to grow. I never needed permission but thanks anyway guys. New sounds all ‘24…. Whether you like it or not [winky face emoji].”

What are your thoughts on this snippet from Joey Bada$$’s upcoming single with KayCyy “Passports & Suitcases?” Do you like it when he goes into his melodic bag, why or why not?
