Rumor Mill Confirmation: After doing a collab with A$AP Rocky on the “1 Train” people were wondering if Joey Bada$$ was signing to the ROC. The answer is NO. He talked to the Source and confirmed it. He mentioned that, “major labels is just not where my head is at right now.” Joey is really more into the independent thing. Besides, he was just named the creative director of Ecko. That’s a fire position to have at the age of 17. Go Joey! Drop down bottom for more.

Really? You’re doing a lot of big things for a 17-year old.
Well thank you. I actually turn 18 on Sunday.

I also wanted to ask about your new mixtape.
Oh the new one? I’m actually almost done with it, I’m wrapping it up in a minute. I plan to release it in Spring or Summer.

So do you have any features on there we should know about?
I mean…

Oh, you’re keeping it under wraps?
It’s not even keeping it under wraps, but its just like, you know, any feature I do, I just talk about it on Twitter or whatever.

Oh okay. Do you have a lot of Pro.Era on there?
Pro.Era, actually I need more Pro.Era on there. Oh nah, I’m wylin, I got hella Pro.Era on there. I always f*cking ride for my Pros.
