“I’m excited to announce that I’ve been silently working on a free mentorship program for men of color in the US & Puerto Rico called @impactmentorship. Inspired by my friend @sophchangnyc & @unlockherpotential. I recruited an impressive network of incredible mentors in the areas of ART, CULINARY, FASHION, FILM/TV, MEDIA MUSIC, and SPORTS. Starting with myself, I will be announcing new mentors everyday until applications open on the 15th,” Joey Badass captioned his Instagram post making the announcement. As you’d expect there were many in the comments praising him for his work giving back and helping those who are willing to seek it out. Check out the full post below.

The announcement comes just a few weeks after Joey teamed up with Rome Streetz for a fire new single. The pair delivered “Fire At Ya Idle Mind” which combined Joey’s signature dynamic street raps with witty observations and musings. The track has already racked up more than 550k streams on Spotify amid a chorus of critical acclaim.

Earlier this year Joey Badass pivoted his focus entirely to R&B. He dropped his new single “Fallin’” all the way back in April. The song showcased how far he’s come as an artist and a person despite some of the lows he experienced. Fans were surprised not just by how well his introspective shift worked but also how natural he sounded singing over an R&B instrumental. What do you think of Joey Badass’ new mentorship program?

Born in London and raised in New York, Rome Streetz is one of the most underrated lyrical masters in the rap game. Since the mid to late 2010s, he has been a consistent material dropper, yet he continues to fly under the radar. But, he is having a big 2023 for those who are not aware. He has been a part of many collaboration singles in addition to quite a few albums. Streetz will be featured on another Westside Gunn project as well. He will be one of the many guests on the sequel to Gunn’s 2020 release, Pray for Paris. And Then You Pray For Me is due on October 13 and you will be able to hear more heat from that frequent duo soon.

Furthermore, his solo output has also been high. Streetz will be dropping another album at some point before the end of the year. It will be a part of his Noise Kandy series, with the fifth installment coming out next. Streetz’s lead single, “Hell Backwards,” just last Friday (September 15).

This is school for fools seekin’ inspiration
A cool masterclass in murder, don’t accept no cheap imitations (Nah)
Your chick chasin’, let the knees with chafin’
You know the steez: after I hit her with D, she passed the Chase PIN (Money)
