New York rapper Joey Bada$$ kicks off 2025 with new track ‘The Ruler’s Back’.
The rapper is one of the best in the game, yet feels perennially slept-on; producing more than a decade’s work of exemplary work, he starts the New Year with a point to prove.
Out now, ‘The Ruler’s Back’ is an energetic blast of East Coast rap, a song that digs into his foundations. Dextrous as ever, Joey bobs and weaves on the flows, stretching the beat to suit his own creative purposes.
On streaming alongside a brand new video, ‘The Ruler’s Back’ follows Joey’s swipe against self-elected gatekeepers. “One thing about me, I ain’t no gatekeeper. If anything I’m a gate opener or kicker. It is wack when people think you following something you started or opened up tho. I could understand why people do gatekeep for that reason but fuck that my confidence too high, if one thing becomes too over saturated I will find something new, fresh and untouched.”
