Joey BadA$$ - Survival Tactics (Feat. Capital STEEZ)

The first release off 17 year-old Brooklyn native Joey BadA$$'s new solo project '1999', the rhymes this guy brings to the table in my view far exceed his tentative years and help him bring an amazing energy to this superb track. With Capital STEEZ's verse equally brilliant, I think we can expect to see a lot more from the Brooklyn based movement Pro. Era in the coming months, of which Joey and Steez are original members. Check out the track after the jump and watch out for any announcements regarding a release date for '1999' in the near future.

Labrinth today unveiled the sci-fi based visuals for the third single to be taken from his forthcoming debut album 'Electronic Earth', which is set to drop on March 14th. Wasn't a fan of the single when it dropped, it hasn't really grown on me and this video is not a patch on 'Earthquake'. Still can't wait to hear the album.
