Joey Bada$$ has confirmed his debut album B4DA$$ is finally finished and that it will feature DJ Premier and Kiesza.
“At this point, the album is completed,” he told MTV News. “[I finished it] literally two days ago. It’s been pretty much completed for a while, but it’s like when you make ice cream, it’s that cherry on the top that really brings it all together. The whole time, I’ve been searching for sprinkles, and now I got it nicely decorated and everything, so it’s ready to go.”
Moving on to discuss Kiesza, Joey said: “Once I seen her ‘Hideaway’ video, which is like her biggest song, her breakout single, it really blew my mind. The way she combined the music with the dance and everything like that. It’s sick.”

“I hit her up, just showing love. And then she hit me back, and she was like, ‘Let’s work.’ And then I literally went to her house a week or two after that, and we did two tracks — one for her album and one for mine.”
Bada$$ also confirmed that the production credits include DJ Premier, Statik Selektah and Hit-Boy.
