**💭 Thoughts:** New York rapper Joey Bada$$’s 2012 mixtape *1999* contains some of the best rapping and production I’ve heard on any hip-hop project. Whether it be the old-school, dusty boom bap production, or the clever wordplay and effortless flows, Joey is able to deliver on all fronts throughout the entire mixtape. There isn’t a single bad or even mediocre song, displaying a level of consistency that is rare within the modern hip-hop scene. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Summer Knights 🔵 2.) Waves 🔵 3.)
