Joey Bada$$ Responds with Subliminal Heat on "Sorry Not Sorry"
Joey Bada$$ is back in his bag with "Sorry Not Sorry," a track that proves his lyrical prowess is as sharp as ever. Following a subtle yet impactful jab from the West Coast, Joey's latest drop keeps the competitive edge alive in hip-hop. He doesn't outright declare war but uses clever subliminals to deliver his message. The result is a track that not only keeps the spirit of the genre thriving but also solidifies Joey's place among the top-tier MCs in the game.
Conductor Williams, one of the most exciting producers in the underground scene, handles the production here. He kicks things off with a hazy, dreamy beat reminiscent of R&B vibes before switching gears into a darker, dirtier boom-bap sound that perfectly matches Joey's more aggressive tone. The duality in the production mirrors the complexity of Joey's bars, making this one of the most replayable tracks of the year.
Fans are buzzing not only about the subtle punches Joey throws but also about the undeniable chemistry between him and Conductor. Calls for a collaborative tape from the two are growing louder, and we couldn't agree more. If "Sorry Not Sorry" is any indication, a full project from this duo would be nothing short of legendary.
Stream "Sorry Not Sorry" below and join the growing chorus hoping for more from Joey Bada$$ and Conductor Williams soon.
