Joey Badass also announced his Tour 1999-2000.
Joey Badass is scheduled to go on tour in July, with a new album on the way and the tenth anniversary of his debut mixtape approaching.
Joey Badass has put a stop to the rumours by revealing his new album, 2000. It appears from the title that it will be a follow-up to his critically praised first mixtape 1999 from 2012. The New York rapper also confirmed that the album would be released on digital platforms on June 17th. Below is a trailer for the album, which includes a song created by Statik Selektah.
The Pro Era rapper’s summer tour, dubbed the 1999-2000 tour, would take him to key towns on both coasts. The tour will not only coincide with the release of his new album 2000 on June 17, but also with the ten-year anniversary of his breakout mixtape 1999. Capella Grey, a young singer-songwriter, will accompany him on the tour.

The project was unveiled by the New Yorker on Wednesday, along with a small teaser. The short, set to skater footage, includes a hint of new music. Joey shared some of the producers he worked with on his record in an interview with XXL.”I got my boys on there: Statik Selektah, Kirk Knight. I got a Cardo joint on there. I got a Mike WiLL [Made-It] joint on there. I’m supposed to be getting in with DJ Premier this week ’cause I told him I can’t complete this album if we don’t link up,” he said.
Joey returned from his absence with the song ‘The REVENGE‘ in January, followed by another song named ‘Head High‘ in March.
The entire schedule for the 1999-2000 Tour can be seen below.
