Joey Bada$$ batlle with the West Coast doesn’t appear to be losing steam anytime soon.
On Thursday (May 15), the Brooklyn rapper and actor clapped back at Ray Vaughn’s recent diss track “Hoe Era” after Joey mentioned the TDE signee as he stood next to his labelmate Ab-Soul and Big Sean during their Red Bull Spiral Freestyle.

Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) teamed up with YoungBoy Never Broke Again for their long-rumored collaboration “Alive.” The distorted track has yet to hit streaming services, as West released “Alive” through his Instagram on Wednesday (May 21). “ALIVE YE X NBA YoungBoy YZY SZN 10,” he wrote in the […]
